You imply that Tesla is premium nameplate and therefore won't grow in the future as much as other, non-premium, nameplates.

That's not true. Tesla's cost to value ratio is the best in the business. Yes, you can find a cheaper electric car but it'll also be a much worse car than Model 3.

If you spec VW's ID.3 or ID.4 to the closest Model 3 / Y, you'll find that you're paying about the same for less (less range, smaller screen, software that is generation behind, no supercharging network and more).

Additionally, Tesla's profit margins are the best in the car business (not just electric car business) while reports say that VW is loosing $3-$4k per car and doesn't expect to have them profitable until 2025.

Or compare the prices of just unveiled GM's Hummer EV with prices of Cybertruck. Hummer is 30-50% more expensive.

The first truly mass market car, the one that tips the scale towards electric cars, will also come from Tesla, not from any other car maker.

Tesla already announced $25k in 2022. No-one else is even close to producing a decent EV at such price.
In a lot of "what would AI replace" studies they always talk about how it will be low skill jobs that suffer.

Two observations: 1. A lot of "management" is readily automated, look at uber, it automates the dispatcher and keeps the manual workers. This idea could be extended further up the management ladder, its just that middle management is more of a stakeholder to the consultants pushing automation so they focus on eliminating workers.

2. The real scary thought to me is not manual jobs being automated, but rather humans only being used for their spatial reasoning and grasping abilities and having all other agency automated away. Anecdotally this may already be the case e.g. in some warehouses.

> Imagine being invested in some story and only receiving 8-10 min of it every week

I agree with all your points except this one. Rick and Morty is essentially 20 minute episodes released weekly, after commercials. If you took out long pauses, transitions, and other filling, I'm sure you could get it down to 15 minutes of punch. I'd add a lot of video creators like game of zones, alt-shift-x, theinternethistorian, also fill the punch of 15-25 minute content released weekly/monthly, are ravenously popular.

There is room for ~10-20 minute content but it may be harder to market/monetize.
What a bunch of self marketing bullshit. There is no single software development job description. Some people have lots of clients, others have lots of tasks. This is a list a kindergartener can write.
That would be a huge problem. You'd see freeways entirely congested with trucking instead. Freeways that are congested enough as it is. We need to build a grade separated passenger rail network.
It's hard to know exactly what about Quibi failed.

Argument 1: No one wants short-form video. YouTube has been the master at this market, TikTok too! I think there is plenty of space for more short-form content.

Argument 2: No one wants to pay for streaming content. Netflix and Hulu have plenty of varying length content that people willingly pay for.

Ultimately, Quibi itself was weird. Correct me if I'm wrong, but their marketing strategy was, high end short form content, code for Hollywooy-esque content. There's nothing wrong with this style of content, but when I watch something short-form, I expect it to keep my attention when I'm actively holding my phone.

YouTube and TikTok content are both edited to be high paced and leave little room for air. That keeps it engaging when you're on your phone because you just can't look away. If I wanted to relax after a long day, I want to sit on the couch and turn on the TV. That's where typical Hollywood content fits in. Lots of space in between spoken dialog, music, and more reflective pacing.

Quibi tried to give you TV pacing, but short-form format and ultimately that was rejected in the market.

Why on earth didn't they test this thesis before blowing through a billion dollars?
I’m sure Quibi has debts. They may end up selling them for less given the limited terms or free the content back to creators sooner.

Advice for Continuing with Second Degree
Hello all, I'm hoping to get some advice for my situation. I've entered a second degree (in CS) program at the University of British Columbia while working full time. My first degree is a BSc in Econ. Basically I'm wondering if I should continue with it, or instead focus on self teaching and contributing to open source/building a portfolio.

I quite like my job at the moment (public sector data analysis, with experience programming in R & SQL) and am not willing to quit to study full time, but would like to move into a software development role. Although I'm doing well enough in the one 4 credit course I'm taking, my mental health is not at its best and I'm finding it very difficult to manage work, school, and life. The program I'm taking is great, UBC has a top notch CS department, but it must be completed in 4 yrs.

The concerns I have are 1) getting burnt out, and 2) finishing the degree without having relevant work experience/a portfolio due to only having time for coursework. Another bachelor's degree takes a long time, especially part time, and I'm wondering if, given I (think) I have some aptitude for programming, my time would be better spent putting a dent into that 10 yrs of learning by doing that Norvig talked about. I would do this by working on large open source projects, reading lots of code, and studying (at a more manageable pace, from good sources like those on teachyourselfcs.com) CS theory. The thing holding me back from forging my own path is the worry that I would never be taken seriously without a formal education in the subject.

Any advice/thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

That's not a bad argument against using TOML, and I'm inclined to agree that TOML is more verbose than it has to be for heavily-nested maps-of-maps-of-maps.

Which you can pretend is a strength, since I consider doing that an anti-pattern. But it is a valid critique.

However, the TOML they offer as a comparison to the StrictYAML is probably auto-generated (they do say "serialized TOML equivalent") and it's quite a bit noisier than it has to be.

TOML deliberately has a couple of ways of writing arrays, and a one-line short format for maps: you're supposed to alternate these, and this technique could eliminate most of the repetition in that particular file.

I still wouldn't choose TOML for a complex tree of user stories where the keys are all long strings of English: that's an example of the kind of thing where you might talk yourself out of using it!

Here's the counterpoint I want to offer: stories of YAML "configuration languages" escaping confinement and becoming headache-inducing repositories of monstrous complexity are practically cliche at this point.

Part of why that is, is that you don't pay for that complexity "up front": It's just a nice list! It's easy to read!

I would add one thing to TOML if I could: it should default to a string for the value part of a key-value pair, if it can't make anything else. So

my_val = 42

Makes a number,

my_string = "42"

Gives you a string, and

my_regex = ^\"(\\.|[^\"])*\"

lets you handle regexes without the obnoxious double-quoting problem, while removing a lot of the verbosity and ceremony from the format.

I don't think subsidies will be the driving force behind electric vehicle adoption in the US - the lower tax burden and higher discretionary income make them less relevant, especially against the car & status symbol culture. Some of my climate change denying family members switched to a Nissan Leaf some years ago for financial reasons, even with an hour long hilly commute with ~3k feet net elevation change. They got a plan that gave really cheap power at night and really expensive power during the day and came out way ahead even before including the state subsidy - although they drive their cars for upwards of 10 years so the subsidy was a sweat cherry on top.

I think the driving force behind EVs long term (decades) will be power companies trying to balance the grid between peak and non-peak loads. What better way to install massive amounts of expensive storage than to put their finger on the scale to incentivize their existing customers to pay for it themselves, all without hurting profits? The big thorn is that the infrastructure to support that is pretty much nonexistent, but there are plenty of steps in between such as smart chargers that only charge the car when signaled to. In California alone, there is potential to sell hundreds of thousands of electric vehicles that can provide backup power during the ridiculous number of blackouts we've had and will continue to have for the foreseeable future as the utilities upgrade their innumerable fire starters (utility poles).

Unlike Europe's highly integrated grids, the ones in the US don't have a network of aluminum smelters, pumped storage, and other industries set up to take advantage of variable power pricing with high enough density. As the variability between peak power production and baseline consumption throughout the day increases, I predict we'll see other more stealthy market incentives push people towards electric cars.
> I don't think you would be willing to pay the amount of taxes you would need to, to completely redo the railways haha.

This premise feels wrong: The Swiss, German, Chinese, Spanish experience is that people pay to have high speed rail services, and the G20 economies in that list pay high marginal rates of taxes just fine, for this outcome.

The "you" here is conditionally the "you" of current social mores America. It by no means is the only recent experience of America, under presidents to Reagan, the top rate of marginal tax was significantly higher than at present, and people paid.

Perhaps, if Americans were made to pay more supertax they would discover sooner than you think, how few people it inconvenienced (Bezos) and how many it benefitted.

"you" might be surprised how low the increment was on your tax base, to fund the state investment your country needs, taking into account the superwealthy, and corporate tax evasion.

> Why can't distros be a package of microkernel + drivers?

Performance. Basically, the required amount of context switches (since all drivers run in user mode) impacts performance and cache use in a negative way compared to monolithic kernels. Whether this is still a significant issue with modern designs, I don't know, but that was the argument back in day (i.e. the early 90s when Linux came about).

I feel Katzenberg over estimates how much people care about big celebrity names, their entire focus was "how many celebrities can we cram into our shows", rather than making the stories/content compelling. The obnoxious advertising of celebrities being like "Hey look at me!" only signaled how shallow and bad their content must be.

Celebs often let their success go to their head thinking they're the reason why movies they have been in were successful. But the real reason a movie is successful has more to do with directing, writing, editing and all of the background work that was put into it.

Why subscribe to Quibi to see Celebs embarrass themselves with cringe content, when you can see them do that on instagram for free!

No need to worry about actors or crew being exploited. Happily, the union makes sure of that! (E.g. in contrast to the tech world.)

OP may be referring to ledger growth and mining costs mean fewer and fewer miners have the ability to compete. I believe this leads to "de-decentralization" when resource costs continue to grow far beyond what only the biggest investors can afford.

> I was roaming, when I was there, and that was definitely not cheap

Roaming prices are effectively set by your home network, not the foreign one. My network (Vodafone Ireland) charges a flat fee of 5 euro a day (with a fairly miserly 500MB/day data cap) for most non-European countries, for instance, but some other Irish networks have completely different pricing structures for it.
Not just you. Firefox is my main browser, but for a growing number of JS-heavy sites I've been using Safari instead. These are not necessarily ad-ridden either, but rather interactive apps (Jira, Whimsical, etc.) were FF is getting super laggy and it's a real distraction. Sad how much faster Chrome and Safari behave on them :/. This is on a new 2020 MBP with plenty of RAM.
That chart shows Tesla at 54% which while a majority is just barely so. So I still strongly disagree with your statement that 46% of sales is "vanishingly small" as you asserted in your original post.
That sounds like it could be that you're running out of memory.

Open the Activity Monitor, switch to the Memory tab, and watch the Memory Pressure graph as well as Memory Used. If memory pressure isn't green, or memory used is close to Physical Memory, you're using too much. In that state, the whole MacOS GUI can become rather unresponsive, fitting your description.

> And electric cars are actually responsible for even more emissions - not from burning fuel, obviously, but just manufacturing it releases more carbon dioxide than an average gas-powered car will in its 25 years lifecycle.

I don't believe this is true. This video crunches the numbers pretty thoroughly:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RhtiPefVzM

"The main takeaway from this video: Electric cars certainly aren't any worse for the environment than gasoline cars regardless of where your energy comes from, and in the vast majority of cases, they are vastly superior to gasoline cars."
We are aware of the interest and I think we're generally in favor of it, but nothing specific to announce about timing.

Didn't know you could do this with Firefox. Thanks for the tip! Curious — have you ever heard of Shift (tryshift.com)? It pretty much does the same thing, but with everything (Gmail, Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, etc.). I use it at work so that I don't have to sign in and out of all my Google accounts.

Namespaced system labels (e.g. gmail:trash, gmail:bin) with one canonical representation which is actually stored in the database, these can be aliased in the backend to all of the localized labels.

Not sure about the situation in Switzerland, but it might not be the same network. I use a somewhat more expensive provider (20 euro topup/month for 10GB data, unlimited everything else), because the one that does it for 10 euro is using a different tower network with poorer coverage and much higher congestion (at least in the areas I'm concerned with).
I was curious about was what is the fly.io container orchestrator that runs this edge architecture and were there any challenges implementing this on that? Cheers.

They're a great, innovative company. They're mostly focused on smaller stuff - 150kW and below, although I think they did some larger bespoke projects earlier.

For larger stuff my favourite company is Exergy (www.exergy.it). They resurrected a format of turbine - a radial outflow configuration - that lost to axial turbines in the early 1900s, recognizing that it had special advantages when used with organic fluids rather than steam.
is this really easy to anyone else?
Why does it matter? If you want to read scheduling code of linux, no one forces you to read 5M+ lines of driver code. If linux was just a microkernel, and distros shipped drivers, you'd still have to read roughly the same number of lines to understand linux scheduling. If you want to read the entire linux code, you can still do it, just ignore the driver code if you're not interested in them; otherwise in your scenario you'd be reading driver code in distros as well.
He'd show up at seances chastising the participants for believing in such nonsense.
I learned I was tone deaf when playing the game Myst in 1993 when I was eight years old. There was a puzzle[1] in which you had to listen to a tone, cross a room and move a slider until you heard the same tone. I knew exactly what had to be done, but I could not match the tones even after many attempts. Finally, I had to ask for my mom's help.

I carried the belief that I was tone-deaf with me for a decade or more until I happened to replay the game and found that as an adult, I had no difficulty completing the puzzle whatsoever. Apparently in my case, tone-deafness was a temporary condition of childhood. I wonder how many people have a childhood memory of not being able to sing in tune or complete a musical puzzle and believe they are tone-deaf for the rest of their lives.

> It used a RB211 gas turbine to drive the compressor. Capturing the waste heat from the exhaust stack of that engine gave us 7MW of net generation, at a cost of $30 million, and much lower operating expenses to boot.

the main issue here is actually such a low efficiency turbine - an efficient one wouldn't have such an easy capturable exhaust heat to start with. One can understand that a gas turbine on a plane for example has weight limits so you can't tack on additional turbine stages, etc. to increase efficiency, yet for ground based it would only be about increased capital costs of such a turbine - so that means that running inefficient turbine is cheaper, i.e. the energy/fuel is still very cheap.
How do you think they decide what to build inside those major product pillars?
> there was something off-putting about YAML. It was a markup language claiming not to be a markup language.

The acronym literally stands for "Yet Another Markup Language".

Edit: To comment something less pedantic, the article doesn't really go into anything specific it doesn't like about it. It's sort of like when my brother comments about how awful the vim home web page looks. It's still a good web page. I don't know why people are commenting about aesthetics in YAML if they can't pinpoint a particular functionality problem.

That said, I'm not blind to the many warts and weird edge cases and dozens of different ways you can specify a string in YAML. I hope something more elegant comes along that's still not as draconian as JSON (simple, elegant, hard to write strings, no comments).

Yeah, I really should not have put Splunk in this list because it shows perils of trying to make on-premise software run in cloud vs. SaaS-first mindset.
Fair point however that still means non-Tesla electrics are 39% of those sold. I strongly disagree that 39% is vanishingly small as the OP asserted.
