Well, I can only give a bit of my perception about how I see it and how some people around me sees it in northern Spain (which is not Germany, meaning salaries tend to be lower).

Tesla is expensive, and the Model 3 screen in the middle is something that puts some people off. I want physical buttons and no distraction, and so does the people around me for what I can gather.

For what I see in Youtube about people who buys Tesla, they seem to complain a lot. One of those I follow settled with a SEAT Mii [https://ev-database.org/car/1191/SEAT-Mii-Electric], which another segment (and way cheaper) and it's not even designed as an EV from the ground up.

For the same, or different reasons, people is pushing traditional brands to sell reasonably priced EVs. I'm particularly waiting for an A segment car, with range extender.

I doubt I will buy a Tesla unless they come up with a car about ~15k that ticks some of the above boxes. I know, I know, I'm way off prices.
Tesla is being CRUSHED because a bunch of new entrants started selling EVs in lower price points, causing the market to GROW 68% which is BAD for Tesla for some reason.

Will the shorts ever quit? Sure Tesla sales dropped 20% in one unique market that is home to their biggest competitors. Those competitors finally got their EV act together and are targeting bigger markets with cheaper cars. But German consumers are going to be especially biased towards VW, BMW, and Hitlers Staff car maker. My dad worked for VW in in the US, so I never drove a non German car till I was in my late 20s.

Previous article about the Zoe outselling in Europe: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23963732

It seems in the end price and size are the most important factors in a lot of European countries.

I have a personal anecdote from my dad who bought a Smart EQ. He just wanted a good car for commuting and the Model 3 is too expensive for it.
I always expected Tesla to be on the upper bottom of the list once the big car companies offer their EV vehicles.
Yes, but the hypothesis presented was "not wearing masks" => "more infections".

You said effectively, I don't think that's true because given "wearing a mask": "protection of others" > "protection of self".

This point and also the non-sequitur "sometimes people are selfish" can both be true, and yet the original point "not wearing masks" => "more infections" can also still be true. Just because masks protect others more, doesn't mean they protect the wearer zero or negative. Just because peoples' motivations are suspect doesn't change the arrow of causation.
How much more performant is C++ or Rust?

Didn’t Instagram manage to scale Python?

For small teams, wouldn’t the performance of Rust be offset by the productivity lost by not using Python, for example?

Assuming expert programmers in each language.
Or store the containers in the Internet Archive alongside the paper. They’re just tarballs. Lots of options as long as you're comfortable with object storage.
Wow, you are really good at this.

Let the "geniuses" figure out that to do 10k transactions/sec with processes that can handle 1 transaction/sec would take.....10k processes. Sure, doable, in specific contexts, given enough resources. But they sure as heck aren't free resources!
Git is a generalized change tracking system. A domain-specific system might easily do better. (I've used Word's change tracking a little and it seems fine, with domain-specific features.)
4GB of RAM on a machine (regardless of OS) is absolutely fine for browsing the "modern web".
Yes, startups are the wild, wild, west. I spent from 1994-97 in startups. I loved the lack of bureaucracy. But we spent too much time in firefighting mode. Through trial-and-error I found medium-small organizations in the non-profit world my best fit.

Early on I had a senior guy mentoring me on a project involving a tool called PowerBuilder. He chose a design that didn't fit the problem-space well but it fit the "PowerBuilder Best Practices" so he implemented it. The performance was abominable and he should have known it would be: he too was a smart guy. But he had a hard time seeing "big picture" design.
Not even an attempt at a clever strawman.

Microsoft should focus on actual innovation. We've reached stagnation in SV - it's all an adtech scam now. A bifold phone with no new technology. Just tape it together and call it "innovation."

Apple is in a rut too, but Apple has released more interesting hardware than microsoft has in ages. New Xbox - glorified gaming PC with no unique titles at Launch. Halo Infinite had graphics from 2014. Windows 10 spies on you, has a terrible dual infrastructure OS with newschool apps and old school control panel.

Oh and I'm supposed to think Teams which really just stole ideas from everyone else is innovative.
I agree. This article is basically rage bait for the fanboys.

Of course a bunch of EV compacts entering the market is gonna detract market share from the big EVs because all the "I'll only buy a compact" people just entered the market and cast their lot in with the compact.

Tesla might be losing market share but EVs are very much a "rising tide lifts all ships" situation as they slowly replace more and more ICE vehicles so that's not necessarily indicative of anything. This is very far from a zero sum game.
"The automaker didn’t do as well in Europe, but that’s because it barely had any supply for the market in Q2."

VW are offering the Up and Golf which are small and mid-sized EV vehicles which are a lot cheaper than Tesla's larger saloons.

They're town cars, vs. motorway/freeway/autobahn Teslas. I suppose it's also about range too. You don't need the range in a town or city, so a smaller cheaper EV works fine.
You've Never Manifested Anything
I'd hope HN wouldn't clean it out...

How dire? Where to look? Timeline?

I wish there was a wiki build on a trust network where I could control the weights.
Naah. BMW is (almost) a lost cause. They stuck to the "EVs will never be more than a niche market" even while the Moloch of "German Auto" VW started to invest heavily (around 2016 2017) and now has some nice offers in all price ranges.

Of course their hand was forced by Dieselgate but nobody will care in 20 years.
Have you looked at what you wrote? 40% increase is MASSIVE. Not only that but multi threaded the increase is in the several hundred percent range.
One thing I imagine is if you scale up assuming that algorithmic solutions will be good enough, and then find out that they aren't, you find yourself in a hole, because you haven't budgeted enough to hire human moderators now, and you have enough visibility and investors that it is hard to scale down.

There was some post on HN I think about a Morrocan links site that basically got into this situation, his solution was to freeze sign-ups and look for someone to buy his domain, which is probably not an appetizing option for Google. I think MySpace's experience was also somewhat like this.

Of course, in reality the situation with Adsense is not that they cannot function while using algorithmic moderation, but that they cannot provide a high quality service, so whether they like or not the most viable option is to provide a lesser quality service.
I work in a domain where we do tons of computational work in C++. With everyhting being webified now, a C++ backend for a web app would actually be exactly what I need to expose data via rest for a modern frontend.
If no one pulled an image in 6 months it's probably not such a big deal for a project? And if it's open source you could still push a container yourself if you want.
Another view which addresses the complexity is STAMP (Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and. Processes) by Nancy Leveson. Rather than look at scenarios she sees a system as a set of nested control loops, where each loop involves two-way information flow between a system and a controller. STAMP analyses the information flow looking for messages which might cause erroneous behaviour if they are wrong.

This is based on the observation that in many system failures every component is found to have operated within its specification, but the system still failed. The 737-MAX is a good example; the MCAS did exactly what it was supposed to, given its inputs. Even the failed sensor was within spec, in the sense that the fleet-wide sensor failure rate no higher than expected. The problem wasn't a component failure, it was the interaction between a system (the airframe) and a controller (MCAS) once erroneous information started to flow. This was then exacerbated by the next control level up, where information about the MCAS failed to flow to the pilot who was controlling it.
> Teslas are artificially cheap in Europe. Other EVs are cheaper still.

Automobile economics are full of externalized costs. Prominent among these are CO2 and particulate pollution. Once you factor these externalities in, one can argue that ICE automobiles are artificially cheaper even after these costs are internalized somewhat by fuel taxes.
The idea that Rust is more portable than C is laughable. C is the most portable language of all time, and Rust has a long way to go to compete. Git already runs on more platforms than Rust can target.
Derailing a railroad is a complicated endeavor that will likely get detected and the train stopped, and even in the most catastrophic event only a very small fraction of the occupancy of one train will be killed.

Whereas a catastrophic dépressurisation event on a hyperloop will assuredly kill everyone inside. The amount of energy stored in such a pressure differential is equivalent to many hundreds of tons of TNT. It's not comparable at all.

See also iOS market share in Europe, I would say that in general price/features is more important factor then cool factor, if you don't have the money you buy a cheaper car and if you have the money you buy the one that has the comfort and you perceive is better quality.
There are these:

> When you have encrypted, there is no way to know what it is. I personally believe government should not allow those types of lies or fraud or child pornography.

> Being big in the social media business is no simple game, like the encryption issue.

Personally, I wouldn't call these quotes "shilling", but Gates does seem to have funny thoughts on encryption. Maybe half-baked, but he is smart enough to not voice half-baked thoughts on an interview.

However, I'm also sceptical about the type of "free speech" reclaimthenet.org is advocating. The tone of the article is very sensationalistic, focusing more on calling-out Gates, rather than debunking his thoughts.
You’re ignoring Tesla’s software and super charging network, neither of which the legacy automakers seem capable of duplicating.
Does anyone know where Intel's codenames come from? They're... supremely weird.

"Ivy Bridge" and "Skylake" evoke images of fantastical locations—chasms transversal only by green bridges woven of ivy, or serene bodies of water that float among the clouds. "Willow Cove" is similarly suggestive, if somewhat more mundane.

But, Tiger Lake? Coffee Lake? SuperFin? Is there a formula here?
Here is a nice page to check on current EV models: https://ev-database.org (They also include measurements on real-range).
Snowden was even willing to burn his future career, as he took a job with Booz Allen Hamilton with the sole purpose of leaking as much information as he could get his hands on.

As an admin at BAH he was using his colleagues' passwords for discovery. He was willing to burn their careers to hack access to more leaks.

So much leaks that he could not vet these all. This was no Ellsberg tasked with copying some confidential papers and reading lies in them. It was wholesale collection of all Snowden could get his hands on.

Then, instead of making his point with his own whistleblower findings, he went to journalists and handed them over all the documents, instantly making them available to intelligence agencies all over the world, burning all NSA/CIA analysts with records in the dump (for instance, everyone who contributed to Intellipedia, which had zero reason to be in a dump meant for whistleblower purposes).

Then instead of facing justice (and there are whistleblower protections for doing the right thing), he cooperated with Wikileaks and fled to China and Russia, causing a permanent PR disaster for US intelligence with his new public speakings, book deals, and social media influencing career.

The reason Snowden's leaks got a lot of attention is that they "proved" (we never got confirmation that they were real) that data on Americans is being collected. We already knew, by law, that the Americans are allowed to fully spy on European civilians. That's how they are able to warn on impending terrorist attacks and improve their buy-in with European countries leadership (or how they are able to perfectly copy Germany-invented motors or Belgium-invented speech-to-text technology before these countries are even building it, because a strong US economy is a matter of national security).

>Going to a dealer? Nope. Supporting emissions cheaters? Nope. Supporting automakers who had to be dragged to develop EVs by Tesla? Nope!

Seems like things 0.1% of buyers care about. Really, not buying the car you want to avoid talking to a dealer? Is that some kind of social phobia?
GitHub storage for docker images is very expensive relative to free: I don’t think it’s a viable solution in this case.
That's probably not a bad way to think about it - in an application that large, dealing with lots of data, needing high performance, it is effectively an application-specific database.
There are patches that let Rust run on ESP32 systems, so think it's entirely suitable for tiny embedded things. What makes it bloaty is the linked in standard library, but it's not an unsolvable crisis; you can dynlink against glibc, there is a crate for core rust IIRC. That'll get you reasonably sized rust applications.

And for writing kernels the same applies; without the stdlib, it gets a lot smaller very fast. I've done it, so I think I can count myself on having some experience there. The biggest part of my kernel is a 128KB scratch space variable it uses during boot as temporary memory until it has read the memory mappings from the firmware and bootstrapped memory management on a basic level. The remainder of the kernel (minus initramfs) is then about 1MB large, the largest part after the 128KB scratch space using about 96KB.
I don't get the heartbreak over Mozilla, the only people I know who use Mozilla products are tech enthusiasts and people who would fall into the political spectrum of "cyber activist". It's not sad when an org that ignored the bulk of users to chase idealism finds itself beaten out by corps that decided to focus on giving users what they want.
Mozilla has decided to "throw the baby out with the bathwater" as a business strategy.
I'm currently reading Punished by Rewards. So far I would say that Punished by Rewards is broadly consistent with how you describe Drive.

Alfie Kohn acknowledges that where the work is low skill, very dull, requires little collaboration, rewards generally work for as long as the rewards continue.

But employee of the month? Stack ranking? Basically they're just going to destroy any intrinsic motivation, and lead to teams where people are reluctant to collaborate.
So I have no direct knowledge of this case, but this seems to be an issue over fiscal sponsorship. Like a lot of smaller and younger open source projects, PyPy had delegated financial and accounting responsibility to the Software Freedom Conservancy, who acts as their fiscal sponsor. SFC is a registered non-profit with professional accountants, taking donations on behalf of lots of projects including PyPy and distributing it to the project on request from the project's leaders. This is a common model in open source, there are similar organizations that do this like Software in the Public Interest, NumFocus, or the Open Source Collective.

One issue that happens is when fiscal sponsors take a cut on all revenue/donations raised by the project in exchange for their services, which is 10% for SFC [1]. Fiscal sponsors also have policies around what they will reimburse, which can become as stringent and as corporate travel policies [2]. I can totally understand a project getting frustrated at their fiscal sponsor and wanting to either start their own and do it all themselves or find another sponsor.

A lot of people know how to manage their risk on leveraged products, and bitcoin this decade has regulated financial products to make that practical

Interest payments are deductible in many circumstances, borrowing against holdings do not cause taxes from selling the holdings, and in some circumstances capital losses can be converted to net operating losses deductible against income paid in both prior and future years, practically ensuring you get your money back if properly planned. (Carrybacks were removed in the 2017 tax reform law but restored in the CARES Act.)

But I understand, calculated risks are only for people good at math.
You can build generational wealth by passing down stocks, investments or money; anything but land. At the contrary, the fact that land cannot be bought assures, for the average engineer, that their children will likely not get priced out of their city.

The problem with riots is they often get co-opted by actors whose goals are not in alignment with the goal of the original rioters. Also, there isn't usually a singular person, group, or entity who will take responsibility of the riots and say "We are rioting for XYZ reasons". Contrast this with peaceful protests, where the reasons for and goals of the protests are laid bare by its leaders. They are, in turn, able to promote their cause and have their grievances aired to the public at large. Finally, the destructive nature of riots poison the public perception of the rioters and their reasons, regardless of whatever just causes the rioters might have for their actions.
When i read comments here i'm wondering how and why people are either for or against intel?

IF i need to upgrade, i will check the current situation and will buy the best cpu in comparison to my needs and price.

If it means that i need tons of core because of my workload i might choose a threadripper. Do i need to compile often and i know a specific intel cpu will save me ton of time waiting but it costs more? Fine.

Do i wanna play games? lets see what i can get for ~150$ bucks range.

Author here! Happy to hear any feedback or answer any questions about this post.
There isn’t any evidence of this yet. These sales are in the home turf of Tesla’s bigger three competitors, and these aren’t revenues, they are units. Would you rather sell one $80K car for a $10K profit or four $20k cars with a $1k profit in each?

It’s like saying Apple is in trouble because of $40 Android phones.

There's nothing at all unique about Germany. The Kia/Hyundai crossover and the newest version of the Renault Zoe are 250-300 mile cars that cost half as much as a Tesla, and if you're into buying a luxury car, the Jag and BMW options actually provide the luxury in a package where all the doors fit and the bodywork doesn't look like someone elongated an old AMC Pacer.

Price and look-and-feel is putting a massive dent in the side of Tesla, whose primary feature isn't the car but the charging network - which is clearly in an entirely different league than anyone else. But even that might not be worth thirty grand to most people
BREAKING NEWS: During a recession people will try to save by buying cheaper but lower quality goods.

Probably pushing it intentionally given the recent antitrust discussions. Worst case for them, they get banned from the store for a bit until they take that option down.
It's also worth noting that even though Microsoft didn't need Edge to succeed to nearly the degree Firefox has to in order to continue development, the competition from Chrome was so intense they gave up anyway.

I thought their software was impressive until I started driving a base model 2020 Forester that autopilots itself on highways. I’m not saying it’s as good as Tesla’s but it surprised me, showing me that no it’s not rocket science either and soon every car will have these features.

Yes what I have heard about how Tesla operates does not make me 100% optimistic about their cars.

They do seem to have some edge over the traditional player but I will stick to not driving for sake of safety.

Tesla's current valuation is predicated on it essentially becoming the new Toyota (it's worth more than $TM right now). There's little doubt that Tesla can be a sustainable, successful electric automobile business in the "big EV" segment, but a big question is whether it will replace the Toyota Corollas, Camry's, and Priuses of yesteryear. If the answer to that question is "No", then maybe the market cap of TSLA is inflated.
