It is a very 'low margin' thing to get into. Basically bar to entry is low. So there are lots of participants. So any company that runs something like this can skim most of the profit and offer whatever is left over. I know a few people who do this sort of thing. Usually for a very short time then they give up realizing there is no real money in it. It is kind of like MLM you are shown how much you might make. But that rarely happens. One guy I know showed me how he breaks even basically on it. He said "I do not do this for the money I have that from my real job I do it to meet people as I find that fun". What is kind of amusing is the 'real' taxi industry that they disrupted have their own set of scams they play on people. Usually with leasing/rental/payback agreements.

People sometimes forget that labor is a market too even if you price it at free. One that has price points and different quality at those points. They also quietly forget that changing the rules in that market affects dozens of other markets. Take for example what Cali did. They basically ran Uber out of the market. That means there is now a pool of labor that someone else can use. That will lower wages in that spectrum of talent. That is the supply and demand working, or the 'invisible hand'. Take for example the mona lisa. There is one of them so its 'price' is basically huge. But lets say he had spent years cranking out thousands of copies. What would it be worth? Not nearly as much. Scarcity drives prices up. Plenty drives prices down. The same is almost always true in almost all markets. What creates 'scarcity' and 'plenty' can be manipulated too, and is.

How would it compare with a few laser sinterers? I expect the initial investment would be bigger, especially as these machines are slower, so more would be required. But then, sinterers are probably a lot more versatile, could produce the whole 70 parts plus the rivets holding them at once, or a few single replacement parts. Probably with less wasted material?
Do mechanics typically replace large parts of the frame? I thought that if it was damaged, the car's scrapped anyways.

Some ideas for you:

Since they are now in the insurance business as well they will soon figure this out. Even was mentioned at the last conference call, they’ve admitted to making a lot of mistakes in the past about manufacturing for repairability.

The transcript is not great but you get the point:

“ It's like if you want to pay more for insurance, you can. But if you want to pay less, then please don't drive so crazy. Then people can make a choice. Like, OK, they want to drive aggressively.

In that case, it'll be higher insurance. Or they want more capital enter driving and pay less. This was actually very helpful for us to have a feedback loop to see what is driving insurance expense. A lot of it is just -- it's like a little fender bender and the net fender bender because of the way that the body collision repair is being done.

It costs like $15,000 or something crazy and like -- and then we can actually adjust the design of the car and adjust how the repair is done to actually have the fundamental cost of solving that problem would be less.So this has helped us under a whole bunch of facility things that we were doing basically without realizing it. But this is a problem with -- in general, with insurance is like if the insurance is, like, all you can eat, then the feedback loop for improvement is sweet. So this gives us a great feedback for improvement because it's basically a fundamentally better insurance product. I'd also like to say, I'm inspired of recruiting because if there's one thing I'd like to come out of this call, it's that a lot of great people want to join Tesla.”

> so-called useless degrees.

Yea no more pesky English majors and philosophy students who bring up all sorts of annoying questions about the power structures that create our society. Can't we just stop thinking about stuff and get back to work!

I'm also hoping that CS will be transformed into something more useful, thinking about complexity theory is a waste of time (outside of helping us make good white boarding questions). We really need an army of CRUD engineers to do useful stuff. If you're learning about something that doesn't make someone else money, you're wasting everyone's time.

Thank god ML has learned to focus from the start on making things that make money. Only handful of whiny researchers complain about annoying things like "oooh we don't really understand how this works, we should understand foundations, blah blah".

But statisticians, oh boy, those academic nerds are the opposite of those ML folks. Always complaining that we aren't running A/B tests correct, and not accounting for confounding variables. All we need to know about stats is how to put results for a marketing experiment into a calculator and then tell the marketing director that the variant they like better is the winner. You can learn that in two weeks.

Obviously the GP should have ommitted that flamebait (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24160738), but a comment like yours also breaks the site guidelines—specifically this one: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize.

Right if you're going to bring up Memorial Day then your question was asked in bad faith since you would always assert that as an alternative explanation.

To live in NYC is to live in extremely close contact with other people on a daily basis (I know since I have lived there) and the virus had already been spreading there since January so I wouldn't expect much of a difference. I wouldn't be surprised if 80%+ of NYC had been exposed by the time the lockdowns started, especially the demographic that was out protesting. Just common sense and a basic knowledge of epidemiology.

If it makes you feel any better, I have a laptop with an SSD and still see slowness and sluggishness many a times. For me the main visible culprits are Windows Explorer, Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Edge.

Run msconfig, take a look at all services and applications running in the background and disable those that seem unnecessary (research online on each one before disabling).
For everyone concerned about repairs-- this isn't exactly a new concept.

The BMW i3 has a carbon fiber frame that, as far as I know, they do not sell in sections (https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/crash-your-carbon-fiber-i...). This means during an accident, the damaged portion is cut out and a new section is glued in, though the repair would likely involve purchasing an entirely new frame unless the shop has one leftover from a previous repair.

With the Y, it'd be the same thing-- the shop would either have a spare, partial casting from a previous repair or need to order a new one, and it would be cut and welded into place.

The repair itself shouldn't be any more difficult than any other car, it's just purchasing the part that becomes more expensive if you have to purchase a new entire casting for damage in one area of the car. That, however, is entirely fixable through some clever supply chain fixes and may be something Tesla can support through savings on the single casting.

Until reading this I was under the impression that wire transfers were guaranteed funds. Nearly everyone’s heard of wire transfer scams where a scammers gets you to send funds and then it’s almost always irreversible/you’re screwed. But I didn’t realize you could receive a wire transfer and the bank could find it’s fake months later and remove the funds. That’s insane. Good to know for the future, but how then does one receive guaranteed funds? Cashier’s Cheque (or can those be found fake after deposit too?)? Is receiving something like Bitcoin/Ether the only way to guarantee funds are real? If you don’t trust the source what non-crypto mainstream financial transfer tools can you use and be guaranteed? Are PayPal funds guaranteed?
you're going to have an extremely hard time justifying that this attitude has or will "expedite the decline of the game and online community" given that they've been in early access for 4 years, continue to add sales, have an exclusive (and active) reddit, active modding scene, etc. 4 years is practically infinity when it comes to the uber-long tail distribution of indie video game success stories; not only that, but the game continues to add and keep players.
His response to that is probably to say that if every car were a tesla with autopilot enabled the probability of trivial accidents goes down significantly.
> they hand it over to a highly competent government agency full of the world's best operational engineers.

Fantasyland. As soon as the profit motive disappears, you’ll have the DMV.

As an example, the “world’s best operational engineers” — what happens when one of those engineers isn’t world’s best anymore? Can you fire him/her? Because in government, it’s extremely hard to fire mediocrity. It’s hard to even fire for incompetence. You’ll have unions getting involved and it will quickly degrade to a public school level of tomfoolery. You’ll have strikes when those world’s best engineers want more money or more holidays. Just look at how good the French train system is — until there is a widespread transit strike, then the country grinds to a halt. I don’t want critical business processes in the hands of a public union that can shut it down whenever they feel offended. With a profit motive, there is a shared incentive to make things better — you provide the service, you continue to get paid. When a government agency employee gets paid regardless of outcome, there is no incentive or fear when a service gets slowed down or interrupted: their job is secure.

Having experienced public sector strikes in France on multiple occasions, there is no way I’d trust the infrastructure of the internet to be benevolently operated by a government entity.

Imagine the politics! Imagine people operating an e-commerce store selling sodas — sorry, but since we have a government mandate to reduce obesity, We are going to cut off your service. You run a porn site? We don’t like that, so we are going to cut off your service. You are running a website critical of our government/union/political party? We are going to slow you down. You don’t have correct diversity of your workforce? We are going to penalize your service.

As soon as you let politicians control something upon which you absolutely depend, you have given those politicians unlimited power. “Vote for us or your servers will go down.” “Agree to our demands or your business is toast.”

It’s scary to give government that power. If AWS goes down, a person will move their business somewhere else. But when the Government system goes down, there is no other options.

Governments can and should regulate, but they absolutely shouldn’t own. And, the regulation they do employ should have the sole purpose of ensuring competition can thrive. Look at how banking regulations have kneecapped the marijuana industry — now imagine that sort of power controlling the entire internet infrastructure.

We need more competition, not a socialized monopoly.

I wonder if there was a way to work out a scheme of tax breaks for supporting open source development. The problem is politics: the politicians certainly cannot be trusted to decide which software should be supported, and if you define that "critical" software should be supported then does a browser like Firefox meet the requirement of "critical?"
What i'm more interested in is longer term (well, longer than a speedtest) consistency. 11mbps is fine if it's never less than 11mbps. Aiming for "20ms latency for gaming" etc is useless if the thing drops out even once in a game.

The United States is best viewed as 50 little countries. Culturally Louisiana is as different from North Dakota as France is from Sweden. Our federal government is increasingly powerful, but State sovereignty isn't just a paper promise. The States retain significant real authority and can effectively rebuff the federal government if the political will exists. For better or for worse though, the power of the States has been on a downward trajectory for over a century. Nevertheless the strong fiscal, monetary, and military union between the States has been hugely beneficial in most respects.

The EU on the other hand is broken by design[1]. It appears to be largely forgotten now, but the framers of the EU were well aware that monetary union without fiscal union was unsustainable in the long term. They, perhaps unwisely, assumed that reasonable compromises would be reached in relatively short order.

Well, I said I wouldn't want a NGO to use my money to take any stance unrelated to their original apolitical goal and your follow-up questions is along the lines of "oh so would you be ok if they aligned with your political stance?".

— If I need quick hot fix RIGHT NOW, I can't just log in, change couple of lines and restart, must go through full deploy cycle.

As somebody working on the ops side, this saved our asses so many times from making the already bad situation worse, for example: when the CI system caught a typo in the db migration script meant to fix the bug which only showed up on production, would brought down the whole site and we must have done a full DB restore.

Most of the senior engineers I worked with always knew, that there is a high chance that they can tell what their change would effect, but if they forget something it could cause massive problems and understood well, that our manager/team lead/etc would have been asked the really uncomfortable question from the business side, why did we went down and lost money. And I don't want to put them to a position, where the answer is, we made a change on production without testing, which brought us down, because we were in a hurry and as a result the 10 minutes outage became a 12 hours long outage.
Had the exact same experience with Satisfactory. When you need to scale production up it becomes like a real job. You need to plan, refactor, etc.

When I now see those videos on Youtube with huge factories I wonder how many hours that person has wasted. I'm not against enjoying a video game, but when the activity is so similar to real work... why not do that instead and get something real in return?

I find hard to believe that no one has thought about this before, so it makes me wonder what are the disadvantages and if the conditions changed enough that those disadvantages are not a problem anymore.

I don't buy that the only disadvantage is the increase repair cost of the car in case if accident.

Makes absolute sense to me to have an air surveillance and a fast mobile team to protect the head of the state and a critical infrastructure (WH complex) from the mob.
This is a very good question.

Yes, time reversal would also reverse the process of our perception and memory, so we would experience time "moving forward" even if time were "moving" backward. We would experience entropy increasing even if entropy were "decreasing with time". (And it's perfectly valid to call the past "+t" and the future "-t"; the laws of physics don't care; if you do that, you'll see that entropy decreases as "t" increases, but despite changing definitions you'll still only have memories of a universe with lower entropy than the present).

This is one reason why it might be more correct to say that time doesn't move at all. We just perceive a direction of time wherever the universe has an entropy gradient along "the time axis".

This is intentionally done by one political party that does not care about democracy. They push policies that restrict individual voting rights, gerrymander districts for minority rule, and expand the influence of money over people. This has been their plan for decades, as they see the younger and more diverse America as a threat to their ideology. We have got to vote them out at every level.

> Generation after generation of programmers takes one look at SQL and decides it would be more convenient to believe that relational databases don't solve any of their problems.

I think this also goes toward the point of why they all do this... that SQL isn't what most developers like or want. SQL is an complex data manipulation DSL that most of the time is complete overkill for what you need and using something simpler and more specifically oriented toward your requirements makes more sense. Personally I was pretty good with SQL 15 years back but have moved on and don't regret not having needed it as the various non-RDBMS systems have more that met all my needs.
