I agree. Most likely it was plain incompetence or lack of care. Judging from the handling of COVID it seems the US is determined to catch up to Beirut in making everything a political issue and destroying the institutions that make everyday life work smoothly.

Finally, been waiting on this for a while. Will be much easier to convince family and friends to make the switch from WhatsApp. Interesting that the recent Apple drama is making its way into the update as well. I really doubt it's Apple being petty after Telegram's CEO attacked them but, considering yesterday's Epic vs Apple debacle, I wouldn't be surprised if this escalates.
They will bring this manufacturing process and new rear body structure to the 3 for sure but it won’t be until they seriously ramp up Y and can afford to shut down the 3 lines for retooling. My best estimate would be no earlier than Q1 2021. They have an aggressive goal to hit 500,000 total deliveries in 2020 and they can’t afford any downtime on the 3 lines to hit that goal.
It was broken.

That's the real problem here is that many states are defenseless against the actions of private entities. What would your local authority do if some russians just abandoned three thousand tons of fertilizer in your harbor?

Room and Board for People Self-Learning ML or Doing Independent ML Research
Over several conference calls they have roughly answered this. Their biggest limitation to what they want to do is engineering talent. And they want to grow really fast. So using scarce engineering talent to improve an existing process slightly is not aligned with those goals. They want all the talent building new factories and products. They do seem to still have small teams to make continuous improvements, and eventually those upgrades like the heat pump and improved body will be integrated. I think Elon guessed several years at a minimum on a call.
Reads like a cartoon to me.
To be clear I think the allegations of wrongdoing are FAR more likely to be correct than the theory that someone in the government is actually doing something to stop it.
As for integrations, they are in our roadmap and you can make a huge impact if you suggest some tools to integrate https://tweek.nolt.io/3

What if I want more information? I want to know what TLS version both parties negotiated. I want to know who signed the cert and when it expires. Etc. etc.

The point is that "the UI should express everything a power user could ever want to know about some security-adjacent property" is not the status-quo and people should not act like it is. Dropping to just domains is like shifting from a big blob of text including a ton of request information to just the lock icon. It distills it to something that covers basically all the information you'd ever actually need and is comprehensible to typical users.

Growing up with computers as a new thing that most adults didn't understand, the majority of people who understood them were children. I also thought that as computers were everywhere, children after me would all understand them, but that didn't happen.

With ubiquitous computing, the ratio of children who understand to children who don't is a little higher than when I grew up, but not that much. Clearly, some children grew up with me who were willing didn't get the skills because they had no access, but lots of kids are either need directed instruction to attain technical literacy, or are unwilling or incapable of attaining it.
Why do comments like this on HN get downvoted?

It's a FACT- not an opinion.
That's quite a stretch, even though it has historic tie points.

Right now on the right, it's used to refer to behavior and culture that is really abhorrent. That's at least my take on it, and how I use the term personally. 99% of the time the usage of the term is definitely not about race and eugenics which is what you're implying with the Nazi reference. I leave 1% because I don't preclude possibility of the rare existence of real race-supremacists in the world.

E.g. Misogynistic & violence-promoting "gangster rap" music, tik-tok trends that sexualize minors, and a bunch of other related things. These are things that if we take a step back and think about it, we realize that they're actually move society backward instead of forward. And we're all collectively jumping through mental hoops to claim otherwise because it's uncomfortable, unpalatable and scary to call out such bad behavior in a public forum.
Stripping a car for parts will frequently earn you a lot of money.

It isn't unreasonable to just disassemble the entire car and sell all the parts on the 2nd hand parts market and earn enough to buy a new similar car.

Okay, the French have an incredible train system that goes down sometimes when the union feels the workers are being treated unfairly. That compares poorly to... what? To our total lack of a train system? To our anemic unions and abused workers? I read this and it sounds like a success story for government competence.

I suspect it will be really serving areas where that is unlikely to happen (rural areas and over ocean transportation).
Neat. Do you have a link with more info about this? I guess I'm curious if they needed to switch alloys when they switched from stamping to casting, and if so, how the properties of the new material differ from the properties of the old one.

We're able to look at different areas and compare them. Thus far, the evidence indicates the protests did not result in superspreading events. https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/0...

> "We did have a rally in Bellingham, which is our county seat, and there was also a protest, and we have not been able to connect a single case to that rally or to the protest, and what we're finding is in large part that's due to the use of masks," Erika Lautenbach, the director of the Whatcom County Health Department in Washington State, tells NPR's All Things Considered. "Almost everyone at the rally was wearing a mask, and it's really a testament to how effective masks are in preventing the spread of this disease."

> For the clusters that have popped up, Lautenbach says the state has been using contact tracing to learn more about how they're contributing to the spread of the virus. For instance, it found that 14 cases were associated with a party of 100 to 150 people in early June. Subsequently, 15 more cases were associated with the original 14.

"Just common sense and a basic knowledge of epidemiology."

It's weird how the epidemiologists don't seem to agree with you, in that case.
Welding, roof work, grinding. Those three are responsible for a good chunk of all fires. I've done quite a bit of all three and have to confess that once or twice I was lucky rather than smart to have no bad effects from a very small mistake. When grinding, all it takes is a rag used to degrease something days before at 30' to set it on fire. When welding you really want to keep a very good idea of what is on the other side of your weld at all times. Surprise: a box member of a car filled with PU foam. I really never saw that one coming. And finally, when working on a roof a friend of mine did not properly calculate in the effect of an exothermic reaction in a vat of resin exposed to the sun. Close call that one, averted by denying oxygen to the already burning vat.

This one is on a completely different level though, and I'm sure that the welders did not live to tell the tale. Even so, before you go and claim they were stupid you have to take into account that this is Beirut, not exactly a place where the local OHSA is going to beat down the doors to ensure everything is done safely and by the book, that in a harbor there are always lots of dangerous things in close proximity and that they may have taken all possible precautions and still ended up drawing an unlucky card.

It really doesn't take much.
The point is: "We're moving to an aluminum casting instead of a series of stamped pieces. We'll go from 70 parts to 4, then 1 with a reduction in weight, improvement in [NVH], reduction in cost, and a significant drop in capital expenditure for all the robots that used to put 70 parts together."
I could see this coming up in a pretty straightforward way actually. I used to have a coworker that would always write his conditions backwards, so like

if(false == something) {}

In this case it's a semi-obscure C programming style to avoid accidentally using = in an if statement. (I think it's silly, but a decent number of people do it). So I could easily see a case in PHP where someone writes...

if(0 == $foo)

and $foo usually holds a numerical string, but maybe a user entered "" there and now it's cast to 0 and maybe that code path shouldn't be taken.

Just as the BMW i3 the Alfa Romeo 4C also has a carbon fiber monocoque: https://www.toraytac.com/media/story/XkKY/Alfa-Romeo-4C-Mono.... And Alfa Romeo has published a 162 page manual for bodyshops on how to do repairs. The PDF is out there in the internet for people that want to know the technical details.
This requires incompetence all the way up and down the line though. From the welders to the president.
I don't know if it's generational, maybe it is. But try as I could I can't buy a modern computer today that matches what Spectrums could do: 1) switch on machine 2) wait half a second 3) start typing BASIC code. Maybe if the PICO-8 guy would turn that into a hardware product. :-)

Further it's possible to completely know the machine and its software layers, and reaching down to assembler is accessible from a pretty young age.
Really the welding was the thing that matters least in this case. The environment that was created was so incredibly dangerous, so incredibly negligent that practically anything involving a spark would have caused this incident.

From the internet: "assuming your joint is designed properly and you have an experienced welder performing the work, your welded joint will be as strong as the base materials it is joining."

They are now in the insurance business and Musk has already stated this will drive them to produce cars that can be repaired more cheaply. I cited his statement on the earnings call elsewhere in this thread.
The average person knows that a URL is a string that (for all intents and purposes) uniquely identifies a web page on the internet.

There are some cases, like with Facebook/Google/YouTube, where they add a bunch of tracking info onto the URL, obscuring which segments of the URL are optional vs. required.

But I think that's exactly the point, isn't it? To make it a lot less noticeable when you're being tracked. This change will enable a lot of URL funnybusiness that harms users.

> For relatively little economic size. This isn't oil & gas

Don't underestimate it. Maybe is not obvious, but the majority of humans, many millions of people do not starve to death because fisheries save them each day providing the main and only reliable source of protein in their daily intake.

The impact of all fishes vanishing tomorrow would be devastating for the world. A thousand of countries would burn in war in less than a year, and there would be huge, massive, migrations towards the North Hemisphere.
And what kind of rent-a-welder wouldn't be aware enough of their surroundings and the associated risks that they wouldn't properly secure the perimeter from sparks?

With Blockada, you can block lots of stuff at the DNS level, so it's more tolerable. But it doesn't block everything, uBlock is smarter. Still I keep it running, it's especially great for all the other apps trying to talk to ad or analytics servers. (I'd actually like to combine Blockada and NoRoot Firewall though...)

I use an old phone (until Librem ships...) and I switch back and forth between Chrome Beta and Firefox... they each piss me off. Firefox is slow, I've tried the newer fenix system and it's not really better, plus it crashes a lot. Especially on sites like mobile twitter, probably in part because of the overhead of uBlock having to fix up the DOM; essentially the crash is a failure in handling a system out of memory error in a low level part of the graphics stack that mobile chrome had a long time ago too but managed to fix years ago. Recently chrome pissed me off more because when I tried to take a screenshot of a tweet with a funny google translation, chrome+android colluded to block it because of some issue like "the display contains protected DRM content." Firefox, no issue, apart from crashing 10 minutes later. At least I haven't lost my tabs to a Firefox crash (mobile or PC) for many, many years.

And so does poo-pooing risk when you have no actual numbers.

Every infectious disease expert I've heard from is puzzled by this disease. The variance of individual outcomes from expected norms is simply impossible to predict. Taking unnecessary risk is the act of a fool.

If you or your close ones invite even a small chance of a dire outcome, then you play it safe. And you hope your good neighbors will be likewise considerate.
This argument seems strange to me. Only 300 people have died because of the policies that were put in place. Relaxing those policies will increase that number.

Now there could be debate about whether that new number is "acceptable" or not. But we shouldn't use the success of the quarantine-like policies to argue that quarantine-like policies are unnecessary.
The single-cast is only the aluminum. Several common vehicle glues are stronger than aluminum (e.g. Steel Reinforced Epoxy), and aluminum itself is not very strong.

Have a thinkpad X1 Carbon Pro and have run fedora, ubuntu and Qubes OS on it at various points. Have Ubuntu on it now (as that's the distro my company wants everyone to use). In all of those distros the install has been completely trouble-free and everything works completely fine.

Also I don't use wayland and don't have the scaling perf problem that someone else was talking about.
I think the fundamental problem is that the web has no clear organizational structure. Although the internet itself is decentralized, it has a fairly clear organization structure, where each part of the internet has ownership, and there are explicit relationships, and expectations, and modes of cooperation between the various parties.

In the past, the W3C was at least nominally "in charge" of the web. They were the natural providers of documentation. But then 2 big things happened: (1) vehement disagreement between the W3C and the browser vendors over the successor to HTML4, and (2) the "mobile revolution", which changed the landscape of the whole tech industry.

To a significant extent, W3C has been sidelined by WHATWG. So now, WHATWG would be the natural providers of documentation for the web. However, WHATWG is dominated by Google/Apple/Microsoft, and nobody really trusts those BigCos to run the web, even if they do actually run the web by virtue of their market share dominance. And each of those BigCos has their own agenda which is not necessarily beneficial for the open web.

Thus, we're left with a leadership vacuum. We can try to "crowdsource" documentation, but that ultimately seems doomed to failure IMO, as most crowdsourcing efforts are. (The well known "tragedy of the commons".) I don't have a solution to these problems myself, to be sure. Sorry! I do agree that the solution needs to be permanent organizational funding of professional writers, but I don't know who that organization should be.
> street is still free for everyday pedestrians

No it's not. It's governed by free motor vehicle law. Pedestrians are often punished by law for walking in the street.
... or the QR code isn't meant exclusively for direct human consumption?

A QR code is quite information-dense. With even the highest error-correction rates, a 53x53 QR code will store 100 bytes of information (https://www.qrcode.com/en/about/version.html). That's more than you can replicate in a URL intended for typing.

For the case of the 'Show HN' here, think of semi-automatic uses of the QR code that still use the provided aesthetic potential, such as inventory-control stickers that look like the owning organization's logo.
Honestly, this is just awesome. It's a working demonstration of high-speed satellite internet, showing this approach is a viable solution for "anywhere on Earth" internet.

Great catastrophes require the collaboration of lots of people.
They (EV certificates) also don't do as much as you probably think they do. Or, I suppose, seen from a different angle, the actual dnsName matching does a lot more than you realise.

When you visit news.ycombinator.com obviously the browser confirms that the certificate presented is for news.ycombinator.com and not anything else. Because the machine does dnsName matches and machines are fast, it happens prior to every single transaction as necessary. In contrast EV information like company name can only be checked by a human, slowly, after a transaction already completed.

Suppose I hit this "reply" button to post this, but bad guys have just at that moment intercepted my network connection. The browser connects to news.ycombinator.com and... their certificate either isn't trustworthy or isn't for news.ycombinator.com and so this text is never sent to the bad guys at all.

But EV certificate details are only useful retrospectively. The browser can tell me after the fact that it posted the response to "Phishing Corp. Ha Ha Ha We've Got Your Data Now" but it doesn't actually know that's the wrong place so it won't abort the transaction.

For this and other reasons the entire EV design doesn't really "work" from a security point of view, and wasn't ever really intended to. It's a marketing idea, not a security idea.
It is certainly true for 50-60k cars (the Y's price). You likely wouldn't even consider keeping a car with frame damage until well over double that.
It's a hereditary title, essentially part of the family name. It doesn't guarantee any additional privileges, and most nobles are probably not particularly wealthy.

There is no indication that it was "the judiciary's decision" to store it "near a major population center".

Apple didn't do it to prevent repair, but because you can build a better product by making things non-standard, closer fitting, single piece machined, etc.

Tesla is probably doing the same.

Remember a good number of repairs Tesla will end up paying for - through various warranty schemes - so they care about repairability too, just to a lesser extent than they care about product performance and cost.
It's not a binary of good/bad, it's how good and how bad? PHP in my mind is quite bad. A lot of other languages still suck, but suck significantly less.
