How near does it need to be to be near an all time high? If we say within 5% then it looks like, outside of the catastrophic period between 2000 and 2012, the graph spent the vast majority of its time there.
I agree Tesla is overvalued, but try looking at it this way. There are cars, and electric cars. They are separate, and you shouldn't mix the numbers. Care are obsolete, and will be gone in the future. Maybe soon depending on the global fear level around climate change.

Cars are the horse and buggy market. Electric Vehicles are the entirety of the future car market. If you have 0% of the horse and buggy/car market today, but have over 50% of the electric car market, you are very well positioned for the future.

I'm exaggerating. The horse and buggy analogy is flawed (VW, BMW, GM, Ford, Toyota, Honda, etc are all real electric car competitors). But just looking at Tesla vs the petroleum car market is also flawed. The reality is in the middle, with Tesla well positioned to be a top electric car manufacturer, but not to dominate the market.

Not strictly on topic, but...

Right about the time IBM came up with their PC-AT (16-bit 80286, 10MB hard disk, yes: MB) HP came out with their version, same price, same specs, name started with a "V".

Over the course of the following year, each and every hard disk in every PC-AT failed. IF and ONLY IF you had paid $200 extra for a service contract (about the price of the drive) then, WHEN it failed, you could pack up and drive your PC-AT to whichever city had the nearest IBM service office, and they would replace the disk while you waited. Sorry about your data.

The HPs came with disk drives that didn't fail.

Guess which company ended up with the better reputation -- for "excellent service".

It is said the failed drives (made by Conner, IIRC) became an artificial reef offshore of Boca Raton.

My CS program included a class that required us to exploit compiled code. Phrack Magazine and loads of other public resources probably have ideas like this for concealing data. Kids I knew in Junior high and high school were writing password stealers for Windows that would just iterate over every HWND (or whatever Windows 9x called handles) looking for inputs of type password, and concealing the app and the results.

It doesn't take a great deal of sophistication to come up with some of these things, just a bit of cleverness and exposure to the possibility of cleverness.
I came to speak highly of the 2011 film. I remember rushing to read the book before the film. The cast was just perfectly chosen, Oldman makes a perfect Smiley. The pacing and the intrigue are just palpably juicy. It's been an annual watch for me, luckily Netflix still stocks it.

> Some uses of hydrocarbon cannot be easily replaced by renewable electricity but most can. When a cheaper substitute is available, demand and price drop.

Assuming they can maintain that level of supply as demand drops. Some the economies of scale they operate with will be lost as demand slows and then the logistics that requires large and ongoing investment may slow considerably, although much of the latter is probably outside the 20 year horizon.

It could play out very differently on the consumer side though. If electric vehicles became 50% (or some arbitrary significant percentage) of the market then a lot of local gas stations will close, the ones that remain may have to start charging higher prices (again losing the logistics and scale advantages of today). There may be some tipping point where the whole retail side of the industry finds itself in a death spiral where gas stations are charging more and in less locations, making oil powered cars less convenient and driving more people to electric vehicles.

The impression that other car manufacturers make right now is that they're playing catch-up while Tesla has been getting the electric part of the car right for years (while having issues with the rest of the car, as expected).

There's a good chance that "old" manufacturers with decades-old processes will have a harder time adjusting to an electric world than the hard time Tesla will have figuring out the rest.

Also, Tesla isn't just a car company, they're also a energy storage company. Which I suspect is a massive market too.
I don’t know if any Apple engineers are around here, but an option for restrictions in iOS where you can block applications from appearing in the App Store that include in-app purchases would be a good solution to this problem. Then even if you let your kid download apps on their own they can’t fall into this trap. And if they were in an app and accidentally clicked on an ad for another app it wouldn’t resolve.

(Family Sharing and Ask to Buy are supposed to fix this by sending the request to the parent’s Apple ID, but I don’t know anyone who uses that feature with young kids. And it’s not easy to set up, since the kid needs an email address AFAIK).

Hmm. I'd be more curious about the mechanisms of how it's consumed and whether there's anything I could do to avoid it. Or changes in production that could be made to avoid it.

Since there were big headlines ~2010 about food in plastic heated in microwaves, I've switched to using glass containers for leftovers. Does that decrease the amount described in this article? Or is this some other mechanism of plastic consumption?
The SR-71 used a different jet fuel than normal, special engines, and likely required a lot of maintenance.

The SR-71 program was cancelled because satellites were good enough, and the above maintenance plus over a dozen dedicated tanker airplanes (for the special fuel) made them a headache to operate.

One of the most impressive things to me about the program was that after a certain date, all flights were done in radio silence, including multiple refuelings. A TLA told them that the radio calls were being tracked by Russian trawlers around the world.

IIRC there were some bike lanes like this in Berlin the one time I visited. I've never seen them anywhere else.

I think the best way to make bikes safe from cars is to give them their own separate infrastructure. What I worry about is that the infrastructure will be taken from that available to pedestrians. Where I live (suburbs near Boston) there are already too many roads without sidewalks. I've already gotten into more arguments than I can count with cyclists who believe an explicitly multi-use path near where I live either should be or already is bike-only. Maybe if "share the road" cyclists were also more willing to "share the path" I'd consider them allies instead of hypocritical rivals.
I'd like to see this tested in court. You can't enter into a contract without knowing you're entering into a contract. Opt-out vs opt-in is a big red flag.

Big loss, he was so much more than a spy thriller author, he was a scholar of the German language and literature, lead an interesting life and always had fascinating interviews. And his books weren’t so much spy novels as a gritty, realistic look into the world of espionage, crime, British high society etc. Its often pointed out but who but Le Carre could have come up with George Smiley, a soft spoken, frumpy bureaucrat who gets cheated on by his wife and yet is somehow heroic.
In many jurisdictions there is also a legal minimum speed stated within the statutes, often based on some value below the posted limit. They are often unknown to most drivers (and cyclists) because the minimum speeds are almost always not placed on signage on the roadway. But legally, there is often a minimum speed as well as the more well known and visible maximum speed.
What Elon actually said, if you would listen to him and not just over react to tweets as you seem to do, you would know that what he said was 'Tesla currently doesn't justify that stock price, you have to believe in its future execution' and he also added 'I believe we will get there and eventually the stock will be higher then it is now'.

And its also funny that people relentlessly shit on Elon for the few predictions he has gotten wrong, and ignore all the correct predictions. Funny how that works when you constantly prove everybody wrong but nobody remembers all those idiots who were wrong. Elon himself says he is giving median outcome predictions, half of his predictions are assumed by him to be wrong.

Also funny how one accident of a system that save countless lives is used to shit on him, but giving him credit for the countless lives that the system saved are ignored.

You should reevaluate your priorities.

The problem - for customer, at least - that it's hard to find the "quality" of the product. We think that a hundred years ago that was implied, and products without enough quality lost on the market; today the opposite is true.

Can we somehow take into account all those advancements which happened over last century or so in materials science, electronics and software etc. to build a quality-meter for an arbitrary product? So customers could better understand what it really is - that is, how long and well it's going to serve under what conditions - for what they are paying X dollars today?

This article was about advertising and selling the "fun of driving" in a era that was much different than today. Your complaints have nothing to do with what the author offered:

"Many people who don't really enjoy cars are now..."

"Even those who enjoy driving should not be allowed to have too much fun and take risks on public roads"

You've conflated the author's story into something entirely different in order to complain about something that has nothing at all to to with what the author was sharing.

You know, if you look for something to complain about everywhere you look you will always find something to complain about. That is one of the easiest things ever to do.

I think you should re-read that article with the intent to learn and feel and experience what they're sharing because it's not about you, and you completely missed what it is about.

Equality is sexism if you are used to privileged treatment. Women are used to get there way in schools. You'd get higher marks just for being a girl. Female teachers mark down boys. They get their own spaces while male only spaces are shut down. Then when it comes to higher education women get almost all scholarships even when they are 60% of college gradates. When it comes to job opportunities you have affirmative action, female only quotas and so on.

> You may not realize this, but when someone says "I am reasonably certain that X," they are not, in fact, generally asserting their certainty. They are, in fact, asserting X to be true.

No, they are claiming that they have a belief (implicitly, often, a justified belief) that X has a high probability of being true, unlike stating merely “X” which denotatively is a claim that X is true without qualification.
I invested because I think their vision and execution will lead to them selling a ton of products and services.

Their vision is much bigger than the auto industry. It is to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy.

I like their execution so far with the model 3, model y, and their focus on making a ton of batteries efficiently.

They seem to be one of the most innovative companies in the world: superchargers, solar roofs, power walls, energy storage, electric cars, self driving cars, etc... and their innovation seems to be based on inventing on principle as coined by Bret Victor.

The environment may be in flux with the financial markets frothy and governments are devaluing money, but I sure like this company’s prospects. I assign them many multiples over GM, Ford, etc... In the last 10 years, Tesla has started selling energy storage, power walls, solar roofs, etc..

Let’s try to be charitable, shall we? Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, even leading experts in low-level algorithm optimization. Lemire was upfront about making a mistake, and not at all defensive about it; if you are reading it that way, it’s just you.

It is clearly the case that the M1 CPU/SoC has a significant performance advantage in typical branchy single-core code, but much less advantage if any for certain kinds of heavily optimized numerics. Beyond that high-level summary, it’s good to dive into the details, and spark discussions.

Everyone is just now getting their hands on these chips, learning how to work with them, and trying to figure out how to best optimize for them.
Or why we should be concerned.

The 20% policy definitely still exists. I am puzzled that there are so many comments saying it does not.

I did a 20% project 2 years ago. My goal was to get into a new area of the company since my then current role was not going anywhere. I worked 20% on the new role and 80% on my existing role, so no extra hours required.

I worked on a project that ultimately failed, but I got to know enough people in the new domain that I was able to find a project to join in that area. So as far as I'm concerned 20% is a great (and ongoing) thing about Google, even if it does not lead directly to new products.
