YOU obviously don't follow Tesla very closely. When the great grandparent said "Tesla's revolution is a more automated assembly", they were flat wrong which is something Elon himself admitted. Tesla tried to go big on automated assembly and failed.

I have watched most all of Sandy's videos; they are orthogonal to assembly automation. The exceptionally impressive things Tesla have done in later revisions of the Model 3/Y (particularly the octovalve and the rear body castings) are related to advanced manufacturing methods which reduce part counts. Not factory automation.

Sandy is very good at styling himself as a premier industry expert—and he's quite likely one of the greatest automotive manufacturing experts on YouTube. But I don't think most serious automotive manufacturing experts are spending much time posting on YouTube...
To this day you can find people speaking in tongues and hearing God speak to them, et cetera, et cetera. Again, no drugs required. People are wired for worship and all they need is a little peer pressure to guide them.

I think it's fair to say that, even though it's not part of the English writing system, "tilde" is the standard name of the mark in English now when English-speakers who are familiar with it want to discuss it:

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

This includes lots of detailed discussion of the mark under the name "tilde", including names of Unicode characters that include this term. Wiktionary also views it as an English noun borrowed from Spanish.

Admins can though. I see a recurring pattern of this in U.S. politics or politics-infested parts of reddit: mods of /r/PoliticalHumor or /r/MurderedByWords can make a pro-D. echo chamber out of their subreddits, but an attempt to make a pro-R. echo chamber of the similar temperature would be quarantined/banned/whatever.

For an outsider, it was quite disturbing to see how dissenting opinions on U.S. politics were silenced on reddit in a matter of couple of years (2017-2018, I guess?). I do not care about U.S. politics that much, but erasure of dissent is scary.
It's worse. They actually believe that.
If you subscribe to Roger Penrose's theory, at the point of infinite expansion, the current "Aeon" will end and a new big bang will happen. As best I understand it, at the point of infinite expansion, there are only photons. Mass no longer exists therefore scale no longer exists. So an infinitely huge universe becomes indistinguishable from an infinitely small universe.

> Steel frames are generally lighter

I’d rather see numbers on that. My cheapo MTB is sure as hell not light. Depending on how much I have to pay for the materials, bamboo one might be lighter and provide higher quality of ride at the same price point (not counting work).
I think it’s more like the balloon analogy or baking bread analogy is required because there’s no good way to explain what we observe without either analogies or math or unintuitive descriptions.

That doesn’t mean there can’t be a higher spatial dimension that our observable universe is part of; we just haven’t observed it or can’t observe it.

I guess we’re sort of like ants crawling on the surface of an opaque, seemingly-indestructible balloon. We’re pretty clever ants, but we probably aren’t gonna peer inside the balloon anytime soon.
I have always been thinking what the role fact-checkers act in our way of consuming information. Every time I see "fact-checkers" exist it is to reiterate the view of the readers, or even worse, to assert bias.

It's like critical thinking is never taught to or discovered by them.

A gas-lift monitor arm from Amazon (€30). I always find monitors too low, and I bend my head forward too much, especially when standing at a desk. This ends up causing me shoulder tension, or I end up slouching on the chair so the monitor is at eye level.

Now I don't have any problems! I thought given it was relatively cheap (last time I looked half a decade or more ago they were closer to €100), it would not be very good and wobble, but it's rock solid. 10/10 would buy again.
It also seems that there is generally a shorter collective memory about veracity in news stories. The prime example to me is Bloomberg's seemingly baseless story alleging Chinese hardware-level hacking of US computing equipment. More than two years later, and Bloomberg still has not retracted the story [1]. It doesn't seem to me that Bloomberg has been discounted as a reliable source of news in the general discourse due to their reluctance to admit to their mistakes in their reporting of this story. At least in this case there is an apology.

This is a problem of legislative mechanism. The way U.S. and state gov'ts create and pass legislation is a playground of perverse incentives, opaque procedure, and the worst aspects of gamesmanship.

One immediate fix would be for strict party line votes being the norm. It would remove horse trading from the equation: a majority party would pass the legislation it wants to, without adding extreme elements to negotiate away, or riders to buy critical swing votes. The result would be more coherent legislation that can be judged on its merits.

Google has a big stick which they’ve used to whack marketing and management with.

Listening to these developers rant about what is probably the fastest and most user friendly effort while they push out stuff that makes yours eyes bleed is ridiculous.

All web developers should all be forced to browse with Adblock off and no auto play block.

Mgmt if it shows a tiny bump in some ad click metric for a quarter will shove a popover out while they burn the long term value in the web and their sites.

The fact that google has to push these types of things is embarrassing.
Rumor has it that certain religious groups on Youtube have their own apologists appointed as moderators. They censor channels that speak critically about their religion.

The problems with that are:

- agreement with any criticism in that religion is apostasy, so the moderator must 100% of the time delete the post/video to protect themselves, let alone their religion.

- the contents of most religious texts contain what is considered today to be hate speech, so quoting, even exactly, from the text can get your entire channel banned.

- some religious texts are considered to be the perfect word of god, so pointing out logical inconsistencies is something not publicly debated before (again, apostasy.) Those religions are incapable of processing these holes. In response they're either compartmentalizing the cognitive dissonance (ie. brainwashing themselves and others) or scrubbing/softening online versions. ie. moving away from the "perfect word of god." You can see where this leads.
Different take here. I think they should stick to the computer/operating system of a car and either take a large stake in an existing automaker or license the technology to several of them.

Actually _making_ cars is doomed to be a failure. You need a massive workforce and very large factories. It is fairly low margin compared to even computer hardware let alone software. Then they have to support these cars which means you need a massive service network. It really is a bad bad idea.

Making a car with the likes of Magna is just plain stupid. You can’t get any sort of volume to make the car cheaper and get the OS into the hands of millions of drivers.

Here is what they should focus on:

1.) Sensor suite for self driving.
2.) AI computer for self driving.
3.) Main computer and screen(s) for navigation, car controls and games/audio/video apps.
4.) Autonomous software.

Work directly with automakers from the ground up and design the vehicles jointly with them to ensure the systems feel native rather than bolted on.
Thing is--you are assuming that both sides want to exercise rhetoric.

The weakness, and it is a weakness, of the generally liberal discussion participant is that they very often want to discuss what a thing is and what it means. Wonkishness is a positive trait in discussing policy, but it means that rhetoric, no matter how openly disingenuous, has to be addressed; the consequences (or the inanity) have to be dissected, that's part of why they are there.

Incidentally, this is what leads to the current state of affairs--the side that is unmoored from any pretense of reality can say whatever the hell they want and will put the other side into knots.

It isn't clever, and it is frustrating because your advice is good, but it is real.
> I'm not sure what your issue is with their statement. Regular maintenance is important, and will extend the life of the components. That's true for all bikes. People that spend time & money on a quality bike are willing to maintain them.

I keep my musical instruments in padded hard cases, in climate-controlled rooms away from direct sunlight. That kind of treatment is not remotely practical for a bicycle if you're actually using it as a means of transport.
You can't focus on the display but you can focus on your instrument cluster in your dashboard? They're pretty close to the same distance away in most cars. If you have trouble changing focus then what you need is a HUD, not a traditional instrument cluster.
The Atlantic and The New Yorker are both first class magazines and I would expect nothing less of them to deal with their mistakes in a public and accountable fashion. Contrast their response that of many mainstream magazines that never post a correction, much less a retraction.
I do like tesla, but I strongly agree about the display.

I test drove a model 3 and ... couldn't buy one because of the dash.

I think there should be - always - status in line of sight of the driver.

The model 3 dashboard in the center of the car is just a bunch of bathwater with no baby.

Some people won't care. I've had friends say they got used to it.

I can... almost... think of it like an off-road motorcycle with a handlebar and no instruments.

But personally I couldn't buy in.

Related, I think the controls on the model 3 have also been over-minimized. The scroll wheels have the feel of a $3 computer mouse, and autopilot overloaded on the gear selector is cheap, not elegant.
Learn you some CUE for great good
It's a incremental process.

You model a certain experimental ("discovery") thing, then you implement it then you analyses the result then you change the model etc.

And sure in many cases in practice people might not skip the modeling but don't properly write it down in any later one usable way. Especially during initial experimental discovery phases. Which isn't good. But understandable and can be fully ok. Honestly especially for boring simple web API's this is pretty common. It's just important to know when to stop ;=)
That title is disingenuous at best, it could easily be three avocados and toast, anything you want. It’s about business meal deductions, and for a guy like me who works in sales, it’s a big deal because I eat out a lot with people and I get a lot of business done that way.

“ Since the 1980s, businesses have only been able to deduct 50 percent of their meal expenses off their federal taxes.”

“ Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin included the meal deduction as a White House priority in negotiations, two people with knowledge of matter said.”
>if the application reports it correctly supports scaling, Windows will let the application handle scaling

In contrast, unless I am severely mistaken, MacOS has the application render the window normally, then applies a scaling algorithm to the output when the user has set a scaling factor (which on a Mac is set usually through System Preferences > Display) that is not an integer. (I.e., has set fractional scaling.)

I much prefer how Windows and Wayland do it. (When I use Windows, I have the luxury of free choice in the apps I use: I spend .99 of my time in VS Code, Google Chrome and a few recently-written Microsoft-provided apps like Settings. A Windows user who needs old apps or apps written by less sophisticated developers might have a much worse experience.)

In fact, I am leaving MacOS after 11 years largely because of its relatively bad implementation of fractional scaling. I find it too blurry. (If my lifestyle required the use of a laptop, I might have stuck with Apple.) But I am unusual in ways that probably make a good implementation of fractional scaling much more valuable to me that it would be to the average user.

> R&D spending? Guess which healthcare companies spend the most on R&D? It's not the American ones. It's all the European ones. #1 is Switzerland's Roche. #4 is Switzerland's Novartis. #6 is France's Sanofi. #9 is the UK's AstraZeneca. #10 is the UK's GlaxoSmithKlein. [1] This is yet another failed talking point.

Roche has over 8000 employees in the US. https://www.roche.com/careers/our-locations/americas/usa.htm

A handful of giant international companies who obviously make a big fraction of their money in the US market (selling at higher prices due to the lack of price fixing) do not provide a useful metric. Try overall stats, such as here: https://efpia.eu/publications/data-center/the-pharma-industr...

And that'd just pharmaceuticals. The US has far greater dominance over other areas of biotech.

"Borrowing" a book just means you can view it on the clunky web reader for one hour? Other online librarians (for the lack of a better word) like Proquest lend books using the Adobe Digital Editions platform, I think that would have been a better approach.

Edit: So it appears OpenLibrary does lend through ADE, but this feature is not applicable for all borrowable books. Some can only be borrowed for one hour, at least in this redesign.

> roots in these platforms optimizing for engagement.

I don't think so. This pattern has been observed, and has been a problem, since well before the modern eyeballs-and-engagement-obsessed era of the internet, and before ads were even present on forums at all. What you're describing makes it worse, but even in its absence there is a certain vocal subset of humanity for whom dominating a discussion is its own reward. As a forum grows eventually you will attract one of these people, and from that point on the discourse of the forum will be determined by Survival Of The Loudest.

> That is what the data shows, plain and simple. I'm not really interested in quibbling over vague claims that racism has little or nothing to do with it, as that's clearly false.

I understand why it feels that way, but all this data does is show correlation. As soon as you attempt to draw any meaningful conclusions about causation, the data is lacking.

I think the focus on racism is detrimental to the truth because it forces a feedback loop: we're tracking the race of victims of police shootings so that we can show more correlation that feeds back into the same narrative that racism is the problem. There's no data that shows poverty level, education level, etc. in these shooting statistics. If being poor increased your chances of being shot by the police, it would certainly explain the numbers, but since we're only interested in the race variable, we'll never know.

So here's the thing - there is nothing wrong with touchscreens.

Regardless, despite 4chan's "lack of moderation", with the exception of /pol/, the level of racism and hate you see isn't anywhere near what you would see on voat.

Of my last three employers, one had a dept/team policy of a weekly on-call bonus. The on-call person got a few hundred bucks extra (taxed, but still...), and there was a budget line item for it. It was a pretty nice token of appreciation. The other two - one had an on-call rotation no extra bonus but an informal comp time policy if you had a bad night. The other had nothing. The expectation was that the two guys on the team were on-call all the time. "Oh, we'll probably never call you."

Ironically, of the three, the one with the on-call bonus budget was the one where you almost never got called.
