I work in the automotive industry. Short answer: yes, it's still cheaper. Three things to consider:

1) Tesla's panel is not expensive. For a long time (maybe still), it wasn't automotive grade (rated for high temperature and shock/crash-proof operation) - they just used a standard consumer panel - bulk cost likely well under $300. For comparison, that's about the same cost as a traditional automotive head unit alone. Other items not included in a model 3 are also not cheap - for example, a standard wiper switch assembly is about $25 since it's fairly complicated and has pretty high QA standards. A standard instrument cluster is going to be close to $100.

2) You have to consider manufacturing cost, not just parts cost. Wiring is a huge pain in the ass on an assembly line since it's very difficult to automate and it's easy to mess up, so the more things you have to wire to different places in the cabin, the more labor time you have to pay for. Running everything via a single screen means you only have to wire components to the CAN bus and can drop a lot of the usual driver controls wiring harness pain.

3) The HN crowd is not indicative of the wider market. I learned this the hard way when working on an LCD-hard button hybrid interface for head unit controls. A lot of customers (maybe even most) absolutely love touch screens and think the Tesla central panel is fantastic. For them, an all-touch central interface is a marketing win rather than a drawback that needs to be explained away as a cost cutting measure. Model 3 is not targeted at older, high-end luxury vehicle buyers, it's targeted at environmentally conscious tech enthusiasts with a decent amount of cash and a bit of a craving for status signalling. If you draw a venn diagram, there's a pretty big overlap between this segment and the "wants touch controls" segment.
Can you say where I said a walled garden was the only way to solve any of the problems?

In fact I have consistently agreed about the problems levied against the walled garden model.

I haven’t asserted that the user has more control with a walled garden, although I think they do in practice have more control with an App Store than with nothing.

I’d be curious how you came to the impression that I did - can you explain where I made that claim?

My claim is that walled gardens do introduce problems, but that they currently solve much greater problems for both users and developers than the ones they introduce.

The claim that it’s just safe for people to install software because it’s not dangerous out there is obviously false.

You can say this is just me saying ‘I’m right and you are wrong’, or you can do the most basic research on the amount of cybercrime and plain old scams and how much of it involves malware or impersonation of one kind or another.

If you think this problem doen’t exist, it would make sense that you don’t see the benefit of App stores, however to deny that it exists in this way is quite surprising, to say the very least.

The issue of reputation isn’t a matter of opinion. It’s a fact. How can I say that? All industries with a significant number of creators and a significant number of consumers have intermediaries. Only the most famous independent producers are independent.

If you can find a counterexample, I would be interested to know about it.

As for believing that the only solution to the issue of impersonation is a walled garden - I don’t know the answer to that.

Maybe some kind of distributed reputation and trust system that doesn’t involve a powerful intermediary is possible.

Perhaps some kind of blockchain or web of trust can be developed.

I’m not at all sure that this is possible - Apple’s attestation mechanism uses hardware keys to to create signatures that join a device, a particular user and an app binary.

Without the ability to link all three of these it’s hard to see how a software only solution would work.

But even if an alternative is technically possible, it quite obviously doesn’t exist today. If it did, you’d have just linked to it, and I’d have probably ordered whatever device would allow me to participate.

If you want to continue claim that App stores solve no real problems or that the problems are trivial, there are no dangers out there etc, then be my guest. I can’t change that belief in you.

If on the other hand, we have good solutions to those problems that don’t require an App Store, then I would love to know about them and if it’s true, I’ll happily concede that I’m wrong.
That’s the difference between screens designed for cars and what Tesla picked. Consumer grade LCD panels that might be used in monitors or TVs aren’t designed to sit in 150F heat repeatedly, while a LCD panel for a car absolutely should be.

>users who don't like the terms are flagging it?

Charitably, it's been flagged by users who don't like the terms and/or don't like the quality of the discussion of the terms. I think it's a shame that so many simple disagreements have to be so bitterly socio-political.
Do you do a bit of research on your purchase before heading into a store? If yes, then that might be a big reason.
Sorry, that was a point from Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond. I should have just listed the cow, horse, sheep, goat, and pig.

Those are the basic examples of the few animals which are docile herbivores, breeding in captivity, growing to a large, breeding adult in a couple years, and which live in social groups that accept humans at the top of the hierarchy. Building a society with protein and labor from cows is much easier than, say, harnessing turkeys. There are a billion cows on the planet, but if human society grinds to a halt and we stop artificially inseminating them and running the feed plots those species might not survive.
> Should this be interpreted to mean that the blast had more force than a 3.3 earthquake?

Yes. While "force" might not be the right word, your intuition is correct.
What lesson would that be? Facebook is hugely successful.

> When you’re implementing a function, you are, in a sense, telling apply what to do with it – what code to execute. You’re implementing individual chunks of apply. These chunks are usually scattered all over your program, sometimes anonymously in the form of lambdas.

I feel like this is a much deeper philosophical point worth pausing and pondering. (It's also very suggestive as to the whole point of defunctionalization -- nice foreshadowing!)
Given that the original commit is clearly a giant copy&pasta from somewhere else, not surprised there is little development or changes as time goes on
I’m genuinely surprised that never killed anyone. Marketing that as a “pet and child mode” just seemed to beg for problems.
Furthermore, this wasn't ANFO, just ammonium nitrate. So, no fuel--only oxidizer. Some analysis has suggested that the efficiency of a detonation here would only be .15. Furthermore, probably a low-order detonation (only part of the material detonating). Even actual ANFO typically needs an intermediate booster explosive to achieve a good high-order detonation. For example, instead of just having a detonator on its own a blaster might add a PETN booster charge to make sure the ANFO all detonates. Without that you typically see pellets of undetonated ANFO scattering around the explosion. Hell, even with a booster you still tend to see ANFO pellets lying around the blast area.

All that is to say, this was probably closer to 200 tons of TNT, very roughly speaking.
Reminds me of the time where IT at a previous employer told us that due to a "new IT strategy", our production cluster that had been sitting comfortably in the basement for years had to be moved to an "approved IT hub facility"... in another office 500 km away and across the North Sea.

There was downtime.

Promptly after our cluster settled into this wonderful new facility, a cooling pipe in the ceiling leaked on it, frying 1/3 of our nodes.
Manage all your Databases from one Web-app
Hi, im not sure where to ask, but I have this Web app idea for a couple of days. I got to manage around 15 different Databases for my clients. Most of them are hosted on different platforms and/or are not even using the same engine(MSSQL, MYSQL…). My idea is to create a Web-app, where everyone would be able to add his connection strings to the Databases he owns and then every user would be able to manage his Databases from the web with a drag and drop SQL-Query builder. What do you think about this?
What about the legal stuff? What if someone manages to hack the Web-app and steal all connection strings? Even if they are well encrypted. Can I state in the terms and conditions that in case of Hacker breach, I as a developer and owner am not responsible?
Tell me guys what you think. Any criticism is welcome!
I also found it very difficult to DeGoogle. I've documented my efforts here: https://www.augmentedmind.de/2020/03/15/without-google-servi... (that article links to a companion article specifically for replacing Android apps made by Google). I'm fairly convinced that noone who reads these articles (mine included) will do anything that is written in them. Powered by laziness and "I don't care" syndrome :).

In the end, my practical recommendation is to just reduce the number of services - not necessarily get down to 0. You'd be at a loss. There is no good GMaps alternative (not in Germany anyways, the level of detail of the maps data and/or search results of any competitor is poor in comparison, including HERE WeGo or OSM). Same for web search / google.com. I have experienced many times that DDG/Startpage/Bing would not find what I was looking for, then I switched to Google, and found something relevant right on page 1.

Other services, especially those with standardized exchange-import/export formats are easier to migrate, though. For instance, GMail, including calendar and contacts sync, or using another provider for your files (GDrive).
Given the entire point of the OP, you are clearly not the only one, right?
Mechanical switches stop working too. Do they not have a voice activation system as well as gesture controls?
Because our code must live on.
"Tesla touchscreen wiper controls land driver with fine after crash"

These headline-esque sentences are very hard to parse without context sometimes. It took me ages to figure out this one. It's a small hobby of mine.
No Tesla but I have a Chrysler minivan. I've never needed to do anything with the wiper controls in the three years we've had it. Between Musk's erratic behavior and issues like these, my desire to have a Tesla has dramatically decreased.

Hmm, grantlist, passlist. Nothing perfect springs to mind.
Regardless of the merits of touch control UI on cars (or their lack-of) it's a stupid idea to fine the driver in this situation. Maybe the law enforcers want to make an indirect point...

If the vehicle is _road legal_ (that is it has stop lights, breaks etc) then it is assumed that it can be used legally on public road. If the touch interface would make the driver break some laws then the vehicle should _not_ be road legal in the first place.
In the days when Sussman was a novice Minsky once came to him as he sat

training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe." "Why is the
net wired randomly?", asked Minsky. "I do not want it to have any
preconceptions of how to play." Minsky shut his eyes. "Why do you
close your eyes?", Sussman asked his teacher. "So the room will be
empty." At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Nuclear is the future of power on Mars (containerized and launched on reliable person rated launch vehicles). It's clear we're not going to build it successfully on Earth, and that's okay. Renewables and batteries are faster and cheaper to build on Earth.
> Reels' video distribution algorithm will resemble TikTok's: users will see the most popular videos at the moment, rather than a selection tailored to their individual profile.

That's not how TikTok works, the feed is really good at tailoring to the stuff you actually like to watch. It's a big part of why it's so popular.

> Reels differs from TikTok thanks to Instagram's augmented reality effects, which let users overlay images and filters onto their videos.

TikTok has had AR filters for a long time now...

Didi has always been the target of local law enforcement to this day because local government collect taxes from taxi but not with Didi, as Didi pays tax to the city it's registered in.

IMO, its elegance came from its simplicity. It did one thing and it did it well.

There is an ever growing demand for new features, not necessarily from users, to fend off rivals and to stay relevant and exciting. As with a lot of popular apps and services, it ends up bloated, trying to offer everything to everyone and satisfying no one.

A higher priced ad means that the provider is charging extra for the service. Those charges are passed directly to the consumer. If you have a business that is small niche of larger area you will be priced out of ads by larger, higher charging competitors. This squeezes out small and creative organizations and leaves the overall market with a few cookie cutter services that charge much more than the value of the product or service. Consumers without a lot of discretionary income can't find a service to use. Small businesses cease to exist.
Easier is a downside.
The cruise control knob on Toyota cars is not very user-friendly, to say the least.
Companies in this new era have the potential to get to the largest top 10 in 10 years. They can influence the world's economy. And displace lots of old laggards (20+ years and not innovating is old).

I am absolutely supportive of all actions taken to promote US companies, particularly against countries (including China) who have taken repeated drastic steps to promote home grown companies.

I have issues on how it is being handled by President Trump.

In your view, are those merely different degrees of the same thing? I mean, yeah, I guess. I suppose "that guy is struggling" is something of a diagnosis in and of itself.

For me, the clear differentiator is that "that guy is struggling" is a "diagnosis" I think just about anybody would be qualified to make. We have all struggled. And people generally don't go on Twitter posting sprees of alternating jumbled, grandiose, and vaguely worrisome thoughts when they're doing well. Nor do they make tearful public appearances, etc. And his wife confirms he's struggling. So assuming he's not putting on an elaborate ruse - I think your average layperson is qualified to say he's struggling.

Being more specific than that would require a level of training and direct contact with him that, obviously, a layperson doesn't have. And mental diagnoses are rather uh, fuzzy even when handed out by qualified professionals under ideal circumstances.

It's like the difference between me saying, "my car won't start" (a thing I'm qualified to say!) and "the fuel injector controller is faulty; Honda screwed up the design and Nissan's version of the same thing is much more robust." (a thing I just made up, and am not remotely qualified to say)

I am not a rocket scientist, but one of the main reasons it is so unique is that it will be the first full-flow staged combustion rocket engines to successfully be used on rockets.

Rocket engines have powerful turbo pumps to move large amounts of fuel quickly to the combustion chamber to create thrust. Usually these pumps are powered by burning some of the propellant in a turbine and exhausting the resulting gas on the side of the engine. A full-flow engine mixes this turbo pump exhaust gas back into the main combustion chamber. This makes the engine more fuel efficient but it is a difficult engineering problem. All previous types of these engines blew up too often to be used on spacecraft. Check out the Wikipedia page for more info [1].

Nvidia / ARM purchase in conjunction with reshoring IC production and containing Chinese IC industry smells like Barr too. Every line that could have been crossed has already been crossed.

I'm not sure that fixed point actually makes it easier to reason about the error, it's just that fixed point isn't the default these days, so you have to choose to use fixed point. That means, when you do use it, it likely suits the problem you need to solve.
Nuclear and renewables are not 1:1 match or comparison.

Nuclear provides steady source of electricity 24/7.

If you want same from renewable, you must add the cost of energy storage and the cost of overcapacity.
In the full blog post, they show that the numbers went from:

* Chat bubble: 34 conversations from 8,004 visitors (0.42%)

* Nav link: 45 conversations from 6,622 visitors (0.68%)

It probably performs at least on par with the chat bubble, but it doesn't seem like enough data to say confidently that the navbar outperforms the chat bubble.

I agree that it's a net win to remove the intrusive chat bubble if they're not sacrificing conversations, but the title is overstating the evidence.
