I think that depends on an assumption that existing auto makers cannot repurpose and retool their empires to produce EVs. Tesla is far behind them from that perspective.
You cannot reduce ownership of a stock to discounted cash flow. Owning shares (mostly) comes with shareholder rights like voting. To me it is pretty obvious selling more of those rights than exist is fraudulent.

A dirty secret about ICE cars: they benefit from huge subsidies and the public paying its externalities too.

We'll ride a lot more public transit and bicycles when cars of all types pay their true costs.

Another dirty little secret about Tesla and Musk: they aren't helping the environment. Helping the environment means fewer cars and of those we can't get rid of, make them electric. Their strategy is more cars. That is, the tactic of electric is useful within a strategy of de-growth, but they have a strategy of growth. In fairness, they are a car company. A meaningful strategy to shrink the market would require changing the playing field, which would likely have to come from outside the field -- government or leadership at the level of Mandela or Dr. King.
Regarding regulations LORA tries to address that problem, from Wikipedia:

LoRa uses license-free sub-gigahertz radio frequency bands like 433 MHz, 868 MHz (Europe), 915 MHz (Australia and North America), 865 MHz to 867 MHz (India) and 923 MHz (Asia).
This seems somewhat counter-intuitive to me. Could you maybe go into how creating a second company, Tesla-2, would have zero effects on the original Tesla's future cash flows and stock price?

In my naïve view, TSLA's future cash flows have value because the company is expected to sell a lot of cars that:

1. No one else makes (or practically no one, such that TSLA has a majority of market share)

2. Many people want to buy.

Now, supposing TSLA would be able to service all the demand for its cars, how would a competing TSLA-2, presumably offering identical cars (or of identical value at least) not affect TSLA's future cash flows?

All things equal, if two companies sell products that are basically the same (same quality, price, etc), wouldn't that split the market in two? I wouldn't expect to see people buying twice as many cars because there are now two companies producing them.
Looks like it's language-agnostic (or at least ALASS is).

They are 'OK', I wouldn't say they're excellent. I have an RTX 3080 (prior to that I had a 1080Ti) and games crash more often than I would like.

Fair, but let’s remember that we live in a country where that’s the norm.

For example:

I should pay taxes to support the military to defend the Petrodollar and our allies in the Middle East to keep the oil flowing.

People suggest how you have to live your life all the time. The above is a trivial example. I don’t want all this oil to power all these cars putting carbon in the air? Why should I have to live my life this way?
Attacking OSS Using Abandoned Resources – EvilPacket
The credits are temporary insofar as other automakers are starting to make their own EVs. How is Tesla going to make a profit when nobody needs to buy its ZEV credits?
It does though. They would not be eligible for credits if they didn't sell electric cars. And why would we discredit them for being out ahead of sound government policy, unlike other makers who lagged tremendously behind? That's somehow a negative, that they're working to solve an important issue quickly?
The theory is presumably that better to explicitly state that you won't assert patent rights against users of the software rather on rely on implicit patent grants. Plenty of IP lawyers are fine with the implicit patent grant in something like the MIT license but there's also a school of thought that, if you intend to grant a right, why not say you are so there's no question for lawyers to debate over.
What's the difficulty in separating those two things?

I'm not talking about entities or countries... I'm talking about human beings with names.

On one side there are people that deprive others of their rights. For example: That includes Xi Jinping. It also includes every person that helped overthrow Iran's democracy. It includes US citizens that attempt to deprive others of their voting rights.

On the other side you have those that advocate for human rights. That includes MLK Jr; Gandhi standing against the british; Tutu against apartheid; the Hong Kong protestors; etc. It also includes everyday people in China that work and advocate for human rights.

This is the core routing issue. If you don't have centralized system to locate a "user", then the only alternative is to broadcast all messages to everyone, which is not a scalable solution.

Actually, there must be methods for distributed routing. How does TOR finally map a hidden service to an IP address?

Maybe there can be a dynamic DNS service for user accounts on an anonymous messaging network?

> There is a really simple reason for not allowing naked short selling and that is the potential for effectively creating a divide by 0 error, when the short sellers have to cover their short

The point of a naked short system is that short sellers never need to cover their positions.

Naked shorting allows any credit worthy institution to create synthetic shares as long as they continue to pay the dividends. That’s what makes it IMO a superior system. It eliminates the disruptive problem of short squeezes. Shorts can never get recalled, because they’re simply synthetic cash flow streams.

Overall we want more short selling in the market, and therefore want to remove as many constraints to short selling as possible. Short selling improves price efficiency[1], increases liquidity[2], reduces corporate fraud[3], and helps protect against speculative bubbles[4]

> Nothing they are describing, if you ignore histrionic language like "counterfeiting", seems especially nefarious.

It sure does to me though:

First of all, there's the whole self-fulfilling prophecy thing. On a technical level, everything borrowed is eventually given back, so the effects should cancel out in the end.

The problem starts when the borrowing and selling of stocks happens at a scale where it influences the stock price. At that point, you're a) actively hurting the company b) expecting to profit from it c) sometimes without even expecting the stock price to fall if it weren't for your intervention.

Like, I don't see how financially hurting others for personal gain is not a bad thing, but what makes it even worse is that these might be companies producing actual goods, driving humanity forward, and this is being hindered by economic parasites that are only throwing sticks in peoples way.

It's easy to understand why many believe this should definitely be illegal, and why people without much knowledge of stock markets would expect it to actually be illegal in the first place.

This is the equivalent to shouting "fire" in a crowded theatre... intending to loot whatever people leave behind.

No, what they say is false. As @Dumblydorr says, "Tesla wouldn't be eligible for credits if they weren't selling electric cars".

How’s that good for consumers? They get stuck with Tesla exercising market power and in some instances dictating implementations. As much as I find Tesla innovative, I don’t want them dictating EV infrastructure.
Same for me. ProtonMail has been very reliable. We all have a “I want this now feature.” For me, that feature is automatic detection of events in email, with a simple prompt “add to calendar?” implemented.

2) I value IMAP far far far more than I value their special flavor of encrypted email. If they'd let me turn the latter off in exchange for IMAP without the crazy converter, I'd have chosen Proton when I was cutting Google out of emails.
Yes, i already knew about the Pi0...

I'm kind of close to this project.

There's two things:

1. Pi0 is not powerful enough to run a decent OS (say lubuntu, for example) and let's not even talk about starting a LibreOffice instance or a normal web browser.

2.Even if Pi0 was powerful enough, that thing works as just an accelerator for the ZXOS... it does not allow one to start another OS that allows one to do regular work.

It's a terrible shame, if you ask me.

If developers had a bit more vision on their very first release, ZX Next could now be the Pi 400...
Very similar to a pioneering case:

> A notable early use of a blind analysis in physics was in a measurement of the e/m of the electron, by Dunnington. In this measurement, the e/m was proportional to the angle between the electron source and the detector. Dunnington asked his machinist to arbitrarily choose an angle around 340°. Only when the analysis was complete, and Dunnington was ready to publish a result, did he accurately measurethe hidden angle.

I agree on the mechanism. If the objection is that someone can influence the price of an instrument without owning it (like in short selling (although in short selling you can borrow the instrument and then short it)), then should the argument be that put options should also not be allowed without ownership of the underlier too?
North Korea is an apt comparison because the country has very strong ties with North Korea.
You post screenshots of your app in progress for feedback. Scammer dupes those, rushes app into store, and when you finally launch, they "were there first" and requests your deletion on those grounds.

So, I suspect Apple just wants to stay out of it, let courts decide based on a collection of evidence (and whomever has the money to pay for lawyers, and time to do all the proceedings), and profit no matter who wins.
This is the exact rationale the US uses when it supports dictatorships - "we're just choosing the least worst option". It's not exactly a convincing argument.

The fact is is that what's happening to the Rohingya is a a genocide - and ASSK says nothing or even worse, tries to dismiss it or make excuses. As Desmond Tutu said in the statement I quoted, if the price of her position is silence, that's a price too high.
Or in other words, "gas-guzzlers will continue to get more expensive as each one sold subsidizes a Tesla."

Makes sense really. From ML; the test data are an unbiased estimate of the performance of a model and you can use it get PAC (probably approximately correct) estimations of your performance. There are three (4) powers at play here, the confidence [1], the error bound [2], and the number of data points (and model complexity [3] but that is not relevant when we compare a single model against test data). Your performance is exponential in the number of samples you have (meaning more data gives you exponentially better bounds and more confidence), alternatively, for a fixed sample, you can have either high confidence, but weak bound, or small bound but low confidence. When we consider the training data as an estimate of the expected performance, we also take into consideration the class complexity.

The moment you touch the test data you have tainted it because your brain can do a crude search on the space of solutions and reconcile them after the fact. This is why any preprocessing and cleaning is parameterized on the training set and then applied to the data, that also includes the class of models you can consider and is why you never select final models based on their performance on the test set; it becomes biased.

You Shouldn't Compete on Price

Agreed. One of the reasons is that the option has a risk and therefore there's a cost associated with managing that risk and taking on the trade.
It's of course totally possible to learn a language without learning to write, since that's historically how people have always done it.

But note that modern societies aren't very accommodating to illiterate people. Even language-learning resources like dictionaries tend to assume that the user is able to read and write.

On the other hand, if you just want to visit as a tourist, you could do that without any knowledge of the language, just relying on English signage in touristy areas and Google Translate for simple conversations. It might detract a bit from the experience if you visit an old temple and can't read the inscriptions, but then again most Chinese people can't read the Manchu inscriptions on Qing dynasty buildings and still enjoy visiting them.

But if you want to stay longer or want to travel off the beaten path, not being able to read and write can be a real hassle. Fortunately, 4000 different characters isn't actually that much. You probably know tens of thousands of English words you learned over the course of a few decades. If you learn five to ten new characters per day, you can reach 4000 in a year or two. The hardest part of language learning is actually doing that little bit of daily practice.

When I started learning Chinese, I used https://apps.ankiweb.net/ with the Chinese support addon and added five flashcards every day (not always new characters, most words have characters in common) then worked through the scheduled number of reviews, using a notebook for writing practice. After two years, I moved to China as an exchange student and was able to get around fine, even though I still had a lot to learn. Sometime later my notebook was completely filled with writing practice, at which point I decided it wasn't really necessary anymore.

If that much grinding turns you off, try applying it to something you enjoy. E.g. pick a pop song you like but don't yet understand, get the lyrics and work through them word by word. Or watch a drama with target-language subtitles and keep your ears and eyes primed to notice common words. (Although those might not always be the most useful, e.g. the protagonists' names are probably not something you need to remember.)

But I don't know what has made you struggle with language learning in the past, so maybe that advice is not at all useful to you.
