It's certainly speculative, but I don't think it's absurd.

Toyota's revenue is around $280 billion, while Tesla's is around $25 billion, so Tesla will need to grow by a factor of 11 to hit Toyota's revenue.

Other manufacturers also generate/sell credits, so it's not like Tesla is alone there. Tesla being able to expand in a segment where most manufacturers only build compliance cars to avoid fines speaks to how effective they are at building EVs compared to everyone else, which is expected because they're the only manufacturer designing EVs from the ground up.

The scale of Tesla's production could be another reason for their valuation. If they're hitting roughly a tenth of Toyota's revenue with 3 factories, all of which are incomplete, that could speak to how efficiently they're using capital. For comparison, Toyota has 50+ factories they own and another ~20 contract/licensed/joint factories.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Toyota_factories

The Q2 sales figures aren't great if we examine them superficially, but their largest factory, Fremont, was closed for half the quarter too.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2020/07/22/tesla-makes-1...

Even approaching Q2 2019's production figures means Shanghai was able to take up most of the slack from Fremont sitting idle for ~1.5 months, and Shanghai only broke ground at the beginning of 2019.

Their production capacity by 2021 should be about double what it was when they sold a few hundred thousand cars in 2019. Production of the semi, cybertruck, expansion of the Shanghai factory, and completion of their factory in Germany should all increase production and revenue significantly.

The biggest question mark IMO is whether they can manufacturer their own battery cells. If they can pull that off, I don't see any technical hurdles to them approaching Toyota's $280 billion in revenue in the next 5-10 years.

Don't get me wrong, they're valuation is still very speculative, because they need to execute on these new factories/products/production lines, but like I said, I don't think their valuation is absurd.
Perhaps it's just more complicated than the prevailing paradigm of "have problem -> take drug -> problem go away." It could be that Vitamin D deficiency is itself a symptom of an array of underlying problems, or that it is one factor among many leading to a pathology, or that various levels of Vitamin D have various effects among different patients, or all of the above.
It's always the same with VC's. Do what you can (illegal or no), obfuscate and redirect, ignore when possible, and finally fake-apology ("we're sorry you feel bad").

Sure the "rules" say to assume with best intentions. That goes along with "obfuscate and redirect". It's easier to point at rules as a club to make an example. But in reality, in the end VCs are themselves toxic.

"Diffing" on logic trees??

You are thinking of a very specific scenario of debate where knowledge is merely a set of observable/observed facts and everything in the discussion is fully described, strictly bounded and available for scrutiny.

In such a "sandbox" of logical positivism, sure, one can see a debate as an unfolding of consequences from logical primitives.

That's very far from what most actual real-world debates are like. There's typically a profound lack of facts, knowledge and experience. Deciding something like "how to proceed" with a business decision involves dabbling in a lot of uncertainty, subjectivity and emotional baggage from both sides. Subjectivity is often a dirty word amongst software developers but, outside of stackoverflow.com, it's fundamental to human experience and argument.

The second US civil war only incidentally involves Trump. He happens to be the figurehead right now, but even if that changes we were on the brink before Trump and we will be on the brink after Trump.

The underlying cause is a mistake of our founding fathers. Because of the winner-take-all structure of our elections, our political parties are forced to be forkophobic. The fact that we can't have a real Tea Party, to say nothing of the Greens and Libertarians, causes our civil war proclivities.

A first step is a proportional House. In this proposal, every state stops drawing House districts, which also kills gerrymandering (although gerrymandering by itself does not cause our civil war problems). Instead, parties must register with the state with a list of N names, people in the state vote for the party rather than an individual, and after the election we first off exclude any parties who have not gotten at least 4% of the vote, then allocate the rest by the Webster method that we already use to allocate House seats among the different states. So a party has 10% popularity in California, that means they receive about five California seats, so the top five names off their pre-published California list go on to the House. Forking a political party is now possible, politicians have spines again at least in the House, and Washington starts working again, hopefully.

This probably does not require a constitutional amendment, just a federal law.

I observed the same with Google's "Smart" display ads. I ran a campaign for a couple of weeks and watched all of the traffic with HotJar. The first fishy thing was 99.9% of the traffic came from foreign countries despite the target being US/Canada. When I saw the targeting wasn't effective, I even set up specific geographic exclusions for every country != US/Canada and still the traffic was from mostly underdeveloped countries. Then there was the behavior of the "users" when they visited the site. A large percentage of them went straight to the search box (which literally no humans do on the site) and typed in something topical but completely unrelated to the site's topic, e.g. "covid". Another large percentage just scrolled up and down randomly. It was interesting to see the size and relative sophistication of the fraud going on but not exactly $500 well spent.

Agreed. Even the notion that the British took India from the Mughals is quite a laughable notion. Mughals were a shadow of themselves at that time. India was taken from the Marathas, not the Mughals.

An aside, are you aware of significant artifacts (more than hill top forts) institutions that the Marathas left behind. I would be quite interested in knowing about them. With the subject matter so politically charged it is hard to have levelheaded conversations on it.

The thing about MongoDB is that it does support $jsonSchema for enforcing a schema in a very flexible way. So rather than having to have a strict schema for every piece of data, you can use $jsonSchema for as little or as much of your data as you see fit so really you can have the best of both worlds.

Well, Haskell (say) can never be as fast as C++, because of immutability. That means that it has to make a new place to store the new value, which means an allocation. That's not dependent on implementation.

(Except, I suppose, you theoretically could implement C++ so that it also allocated every variable. Still, I think the point is valid: Haskell, by its nature, has to do things that C++ doesn't, so Haskell is going to have a very hard time being as fast as C++.)
> Any cleverness about domestic grid pricing will likely have to be enabled by national grid controllers, and accessible to all energy companies. While I do think it will come, I would doubt that there's room for anyone to have a monopoly in most markets, and I think it may actually be a hard sell to consumers, because traditionally consumers _hate_ variable pricing, even if it's ultimately to their benefit, for psychological reasons.

Using something like Powerwall means you can still have lower rates with variable pricing. When most are connected to the traditional energy grid running their AC units during the peak hours and getting charged peak rates, you can draw from Powerwall where you've stored energy either over time or potentially over night when rates are cheaper. Automatically. You can also eventually probably see real-time electric rates. With software, Telsa could potentially bid on electricity and find reduced rates for you. There's a lot of possibilities here.

Idk what the future will hold, but do I want to bet on Duke Energy and BMW or do I want to bet on Tesla? I'm probably betting on Tesla based on what I've seen as part of my portfolio.
The first comment on that link is literally "I'm not really sure how much more whites need to figure out their genocide is in progress." If you're trying to make the argument that this is somehow objecting to racism, then you've simultaneously managed to shoot yourself in both feet. This is literally bog standard Neo-Nazi white supremacist conspiracy theory propaganda that you've linked to. If anything it proves why Heroku wants nothing to do with this site.

While I'm not a proper sysadmin, Ansible is what I gravitated towards (and use for my own projects) and always seemed like the best choice out of Chef, Puppet, and Saltstack.

Ansible is/was straight forward to use and understand, very F/OSS, relatively easy to orchestrate (even without tower), and had a nice ecosystem. Ansible always won for me because it was simple, and had just enough (though I always felt that the roles/tasks analogy was kind of awkward) and was easy to hack. These things were mostly true about Chef, but outside of being "ansible, but ruby", I don't remember distinctly what made Chef worth doing other than if it was there before you got there.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but IIRC Salt was one of the first to start venturing into the infrastructure provisioning realm and ansible went there too relatively easily though it's somewhat obscure[0]. Ansible and Chef (and presumably puppet) were quick to follow/build similar tooling but we all know who won that race -- Terraform.

Funnily enough, Terraform is now making it's way back around to eat the post-deploy logic as well with it's provisioners[1]. Can't wait to see HCL grow into an even more grotesque monster.

I can vote for US leaders. I can't vote for Chinese leaders.
Very true. We really should stop overloading the term Workflow in software.

As of now these are the broad categories that abuse the term workflow.

1. State Machines

For example in Jira a bug/ticket moves through different states to reach a final stage. This type of state-machines can be found in a lot of different softwares - most CMS/bug-trackers/CRMs where the entity is different (document/bug/lead).

The motive of these systems who call themselves as workflow engines - is to provide a structure to an otherwise ad-hoc movement of entities so that a lead/manager is able to ensure a process and collect statistics.

2. Automations

For example "apple workflow" app or Zapier or Zoho Flow. These softwares define a sequence of steps that are triggered when an event occurs in the system.

The motive of these systems are to enable automation and integrations between different software components with zero code (thus, no-code).

3. Process Designers (Bad term but can't think of anything better at the moment)

For example Airflow/Camunda. These systems are not necessarily low-code but they mostly deal with arranging individual components of code such that a process can be assembled as quickly as possible. These systems usually are accompanied by a visual designer like what Zapier has, but the intentions are mostly to ease out the process, than being a complete no-code tool to create automations. However, their marketing tries to sell themselves as no-code platform for business folks.

The motive is not yet very clear to me but from my initial intuition they can be used to initiate some data-processing pipeline, I guess? If anybody can throw more clarity, please leave a reply.

Now as you can see, much like how a "Process" can mean many things in many different context, the term "Workflow" can mean a lot depending on the context. Any software that calls itself the ultimate workflow solution is just a lie. It's like calling something an "ultimate process engine" - doesn't make sense.

Well, the UK press is demonstrating quite clearly it is not particularly interested in this case despite the repeatedly shocking behaviour of the judge.

>The current model is really "app rental", and it's inherently customer-hostile.

Additionally, it doesn't generally speaking fit the actual usage and that is something that irks the customers.

Take car rental as an example their pricing (right or wrong) more or less used to be on a per day basis with a certain (logical ) amount of km included per day and excess km paid extra at a given rate.

Now they are mostly on a per day basis with "unlimited" kms included.

The amount of the "unlimited" is clearly calculated on historical data/averages, etc. and the result is most of the times an affordable rate, often considered fair by everyone that actually runs it for a near to the average distance.

You still have a few that rent the car for several days and drive it for only a fraction of the distance and a few people that take great advantage by driving the car for a much greater distance in a short period, but they are a limited amount of "extremes".

With an app, as you say in an "app rental" agreement, you probably have a much larger amount of people that will use it very rarely and (if it is a good tool) a much larger amount of people that will use it every day, all day.

The first category won't be happy.

Somehow these social media giants from the west would be allowed to collect crazy amount of data on their users, but tiktok would be deemed illegal.

Yes. It’s a separate issue.

If there was a real concern for users privacy and safety this would've been taken care of awhile ago.

Yes. The concern is over the entity exploiting the data, not the exploitation of data itself.

All this is just war drums that try to seem like privacy concerns.

I had watched that a bit earlier, it is excellent. I am definitely aware of the vast expanse of music culture though, I think my use of the word musicality could better be replaced by the word substance.

I think saying western Top40 lacks musicality within the context of western music is a totally fine thing to do though, because it's not that it's something different and good. It's trying to be western music, but it's derivative and shallow interpretations of it. Western music being a broad brush, including many of the subcultures of music contained within somewhere like America.

Top40 is often the crap versions of the good stuff that's out there, cheap versions of the culture that dwells beneath. My main point is that it's popularity is not because of musical excellence regardless of what that excellence is for the given genre/culture, it's manufactured popularity through repetition and distribution. Sometimes they pick good songs to pedal, so I'm not saying Top40 contains zero good music. It's just not a good representation of the state of music culture by any means.

It's hard to talk about music without seeing it through your own experience, because it is a language you share with those who know it. Adam Neely about his Jazz Ambassador tour, said he felt he could connect only tangentially with the Mongolian performers. There was some crossover and they could speak some of the same musical terms, but there was much of their musical language that wasn't immediately compatible. Sort of like a French language speaker sometimes interjecting English words, you can hear them but you can't intuitively know the context, and unless you knew both you couldn't really comment on how well the sentence was executed. But of the genres that end up in Top40, I typically know good music in those genres, so I feel I am able to comment on their quality.
Trade concerns are not really a huge issue with Belarus. This isn't Russia, or even Iran. Pipelines would be the main issue.

I disagree about why the EU isn't a major player in this. Economically, and even militarily the EU is quite powerful. In terms of political stability, the EU is on par (or perhaps even better, at this particular moment) than the US. Certainly more stable than Russia.

The issue is that the EU does not see itself as a polity, in this sense. I do think it's starting though.

A big problem is that it's hard to be effective. Sanctions rarely work.

It seems like the nth example of cases where isolating a vitamin as a pill, is not a substitute for acquiring it in the normal way for our species. We are not descended from nocturnal species, as our vision system and other characteristics show. We are evolved to spend a lot of time outdoors. The fact that we have been told for 30+ years to avoid the sun, is an awkward example of experts being incorrect. It happens, even in fields where experts are normally correct, and nutrition is not one of those fields. Keeping a non-nocturnal animal out of the sun all the time, is likely bad for us, in ways that are measured (but not necessarily caused) by vitamin D levels.
> I like to think it's an opportunity. If you're able to combine domain expertise from your first career with a solid grasp of CS fundamentals and a good day-to-day working knowledge of your toolchain, that can make you a pretty rare interdisciplinary candidate. Perhaps that then informs how you market yourself and to whom.

Indeed, you're in the best position to solve attorney problems with programming.

But another approach to consider is augmenting or skipping the candidate part and build it yourself. Identity a problem you had, solve it and sell the solution/tool to other attorneys. Even if the selling part doesn't do well enough, you'll learn a lot and have a valuable resume booster.
> The fact that Tesla has an automated means of enforcement is a big part of why this is coming up at all. They don't have to wait to figure out what the courts say; they can use software to do what they want till they're explicitly forbidden.

True. And until the law says otherwise, they can continue to do so.

> You're not wrong that the court of public opinion can be vindictive

This cannot be overstated. I don't entirely agree with Tesla's approach (as an owner of several of their vehicles, and having to go through contortions to get some issues resolved), but I understand the why.
