I agree that the new actor wasn’t nearly as strong, but I think a well written season with all the same flash and a full budget to do it would have saved it overall. It is really a shame that they hamstrung it like that. It would have been smarter to either leave it as a miniseries, or commit to a quality second season. As it is now, I’m less likely to recommend it and I add caveats to my recommendation. They eacked out a few more viewers by making a half assed second season, but hurt the brand long term. Which is what I think they are missing in general, that they are not properly counting the people that leave or fail to recommend Netflix because of a culmination of half-baked and abandoned shows that finally break the camel’s back.
> 4x a week on the 6pm to 2am shift

And who takes a massive quality-of-life hit for not being able to eat dinner with their family 4X per week, as well as a physical health hit for having to switch their sleep cycle so often. Per my other comment I was thinking that maybe the government had some controls over doing things like night shifts for non-essential work, but wasn't sure, and welcome insights from people who understand German labor laws about why Tesla's operation is OK but 24-hour stores are mostly nonexistent even though they would theoretically also operate by the same type of shift schedules.

In the US I am surrounded by 24-hour supermarkets and that's because the US government doesn't give a crap about the existence of night shifts for non-essential things, and I thought initially that the lack of 24-hour supermarkets in Germany was due to explicit regulation against that practice, but I may be mistaken.
And it won't have taken a 433B market cap to provide that kind of value to it's customers, absolutely incredible

> Tesla's strengths lie in battery technology,

At the moment, and likely for the next 5+ years, the EV industry is going to be dominated by battery technology. Batteries determine pricing, speed, charging speed, and range. You can't have a great car if you can't nail those things.

BMW & VW have managed to make EVs which are great in every other way, but without getting the basics right, nobody is buying.

> ...an army of blind supporters...

Tesla has some glaring issues (IMO largely around self driving and quality control), but they've nailed the things about a car that people care about: Price, Performance, & Range. Complaining that people like Tesla's while ignoring the obvious advantages Tesla brings to the table just points out your own biases.

BMW's best EVs have 60% of the range of the bottom end Tesla and only marginally better performance. That makes it a bit difficult to point at Tesla and say they are successful due to "Blind Supporters".

Agreed. Which is why I mentioned simplicity being a benefit - if you already have a monolith that you are seeing issues with. But the parent said "You don't need microservices to do this."; this solution isn't much different from microservices.
It has nothing to do with that whatsoever. Who specifically do you think is concerned about civilians being a little too rebellious?

As usual, the truth is far less interesting. But, it has nothing to do with civilian unrest or authoritarianism at all. You are probably mistaking incompetence for malice.

Then again, most people still misunderstand what PRISM actually was.
I think you're asking the wrong question. E2E is actively harmful to videoconference beyond two participants. A waste of time is an euphemism, I bet you that it would actively hurt many metrics/teams if done and these would push to have it reverted.

A videoconference has to be able to adjust audio and video quality in real time between participants. E2E is a technical barrier to that because the streams are encrypted and harder to work with, it is possible to have E2E but it's hard work and it's resource intensive and it affects reliability.

My Facebook account was banned multiple times during an 8-year period when it was 100% inactive. Each time they demanded more invasive forms of verification. First, verify a phone number. Then, upload a picture of my driver's license. Finally, I had to upload a picture of my driver's license AND a secondary photo of myself that was supposed to be taken right then for that purpose.

I will never consider using any service that requires a Facebook account, nor should anyone else.
> The psychological toll of not feeling like you’re “all-in”

I'm bootstrapping my own SaaS solo and this one hit real close to home. I've been at it for a couple of years, and as of Feb this year it became a nights/weekends project as I had a great opportunity for a full time job that I couldn't pass up.

Life definitely gets in the way and makes me feel like I'm not working hard enough, but it's a hard balancing act with a full time job. Plus having a wife who's pregnant with twins (our first kids), so just another wrench thrown in there!

No doubt it'll be out of date, but I wouldn't call it obsolete, it'll still be useful. We had a footworker guy from the Census who went around double checking all the vacant units to ensure they didn't shirk their census obligations. They would post these shipping label looking things at the doors and door steps of the units asking them to complete their census forms by whatever deadline was listed.

The guy knocked on our door asking about these neighbors to which we pointed out their moved, died, etc. For the ones who moved he got down to asking about roughly when they moved because residency counts up to some month, like April or something I forget. It was definitely earlier in the year by a few months from when he went double checking on all the residents. Depending on our memory for when the guy moved out he was going to count him as a resident even though he may not even have been in the state anymore nor filled out a census form apparently. We directed the fella to the Managers office to get more precise dates than the rough stuff we had in mind. I remember the guy seeming to be troubled and flustered that there were a boatload of vacancies he had to comb through and didn't want to invest too much time hunting down facts about various residents. We wished him well and he went on his way.

Dasatinib + quercetin has been shown in a clinical trial to remove senescent cells in humans in much the same way it does in mice [1].

High dose fisetin (i.e. take a whole bottle of the stuff at one go, not just a couple of pills) works about as well as dasatinib + quercetin in mice, but absent published results from the presently ongoing Mayo Clinic trial we're all dubious that will translate to humans, given how widely these sorts of compounds have been consumed, tested, and assayed [2].

Plenty of shows can be good with just one or two seasons, and more is worse. Freaks & Geeks: 1 season, amazing. Ditto UK The Office. Fleabag: 2 short seasons, amazing. The OA: AMAZING first season with a complete coherent ending, then they had to make a bizarre, scattershot second season. Ditto Killing Eve (how many damn times can she get killed lol). Downton Abbey: PLANNED for 3 seasons (pre, during, & post wwI) but it was so popular they just rambled on for ages until it looked like the scripts were being pulled directly from tumblr ("beloved character came back from america! for a wedding episode! plus: PUPPIES!!" literally).

So I don't totally get the "cancelled too soon" argument. The OA should have not run to even 2 seasons.

There's a trend of not producing art or even something original, but producing "content." For example someone asked me if The Mandalorian is good. "It's star wars Content" I replied. "If you like star wars, and want Content, you'll like it." Is the plot novel? Is it original or compelling? No, but boy it's fun to see yoda puppet and more Content from the SW universe you've come to know and love!

A lot of these series may have run their creative course & while megafans want more "Content" it's the same thing as something being cancelled too soon, and most people aren't megafans.

Sure. Lambda isn't great. There are trade offs.

I'm not gonna try and say that it should replace containerized applications (I would choose those 9 times out of 10 given the choice). Unfortunately, there are cases where there isn't a choice or Lambda is still a good choice (like maybe the grandparent's image resize thing, probably depends on a lot of things).

I tend to think of a Lambda as a custom piece of cloud infrastructure. So, in addition to unit tests, I just test them like I would any other Terraform module. I use Terratest to deploy a stack containing the resource under test and a surrounding harness. In this case, maybe the Lambda, a source bucket, a destination bucket, a DLQ, logs, etc. Then execute my test cases, poll for results, do assertions, etc. When it's done, Terratest destroys the stack.

"There is no planet where the valuation of Tesla makes any sense."

This is the typical mindset of investors who look backward--P/E ratio--while attempting to value a growth company.

Electric vehicle penetration will soar from 3% to 20% by 2025. Tesla volumes will soar alongside from 500K to 3.5M. That equates to 2025 EPS of $18 ~ $900 at 50x (2x P/E to growth ratio) and $600 present value.

"Their battery technology is all from Panasonic"

Panasonic manufactures 2170 and 18650 cells. Tesla provides the formula for the chemistry of those cells, and creates a proprietary pack from them. Tesla also has multiple breakthroughs with the introduction of its 4860 cell, now being produced at the Roadrunner facility on Kato Road.

"their self-driving technology is behind Waymo"

Waymo's release of "public-but you can't sign up" self-driving ride share service is a specialized solution restricted to a specific area. Deep NN require vast amounts of data that is well labeled, Tesla has an advantage here.

"Other car makers have access to most of the same technology and much more experience mass-producing vehicles."

OEMs will need to spend billions to retool their factories to produce EV. As EV penetration rises they are left with useless equipment, technology and engineers. Massive amounts of capital will be need to retool factories to produce EV specific platforms. Converting ICE platforms to EV has proved to produce inferior product. OEMs have little software expertise. OEMs may have had superior manufacturing skill, but with Tesla's cell-to-body, and metallurgy breakthroughs allowing giga-castings that replace hundreds of parts and processes this is no longer true.

It's a fantastic comparison of the Detroit school of testing (what you and I believe) vs the London school, which is simply a different mental model about code and testing and mocks especially.

Framing the differences this way make it clearer why some people might disagree with us, and it's not because they're stupid or wrong- they just have a different school of thought on the matter. This doesn't excuse, however, the people who are doing a little bit of both and they don't know why, and they're getting the benefits of neither side of that coin.

The trouble with this is that after a while, people stop watching anything made with their special sauce at all.

We were late to the Netflix party in my household. We got it to watch a few big name films and shows that we weren't so keen on that we were going to buy them on disc (which we did, and still do, for "keepers").

When they started making their own shows, I watched a few, but nearly all of them ended up disappointing either immediately or after jumping the shark within a season or two. The words "Netflix Originals" are now a synonym in my mind for "probably won't be worth it, let's watch something else". Frankly, I don't even bother scanning that list on the home page for stuff to watch any more, unless I'm looking for a specific show that I already have reason to think I'll enjoy.

Sabotage??? Wow, that’s quite an accusation for a company that’s, you know, a company. You might have an argument if they kept quiet about plans to monetize the product later, but that allegation is laughable.

If you’re not comfortable with the terms, don’t use the product. They’re being upfront about their plans. This anti-commercial position is hypocritical.
The Valve Index is hands-down the best headset.

They're dipping their hands into many fields. What is the basis for thinking they will do better than the established players? Why should I buy a house from Tesla when there are many mature modular home manufacturers.

The goto thing is one of my pet peeve, somehow it caught on, maybe it made people feel good so they can look down on others.

>largely borne no fruit in terms of protecting our freedoms and safety but have instead eroded them.

If we actually want to convince people that this needs change, we need to hold both sides of the debate to the same standard.

The next step is to look for concrete examples of how this erodes freedom for a normal American citizen. Otherwise you are arguing one theoretical with another and most people will tune out.

The submitted title is subtly editorialized to the point of being incorrect. The article only says that the phone surveillance program did not prevent a single terrorist attack. It does not say that PRISM did not prevent a single terrorist attack. These are very different claims.

Have you not noticed the uprising occurring in the US currently? That is people, who did not leave, staying and fighting.

I'm not saying they're to blame for all of the problems. What I am saying is that people of comfort, which is a group that people who can leave are among, have historically benefited tremendously from the exploitative system that makes our country "bad." Now that its ruined here they simply want to run off, commonly to another colonial power, to live it up there.

That is not a fetishisation with fighting, that is a sober observation that the masses are being oppressed and that if they want that to change they will need to confront their oppressors.
