That's kind of a hurtful thing to say about the author who I'm sure has good intentions. People who reach to medical literature for a sense of identity it's symptomatic of a deeper issue that deserves a certain degree of compassion, although in the case of aspergers syndrome I don't people would embrace it as an identity if they knew what it used to be called. Elon Musk was hiding it this whole time.
> Ah yes, the ol' "raising success by lowering expectations" trope. This is a great way for some politicians to get kudos for promoting "equity" while at the same time shooting our economy in the foot.

It's also a great way for people to graduate with decent grades and then wonder why they can't actually get a decent job. Jobs - at least jobs at companies that survive - are going to hire based on whether people can do the work. If that work needs certain skills, they're going to hire based on having those skills. They're going to learn fast that they can't hire based on a piece of paper that alleges that a person has those skills.

The result of this will be testing for job qualification, kind of like the schools used to do. It's just going to move from the school to the employer. And those who couldn't pass if the schools did it won't pass if the employer does. But they're going to be worse off, rather than better, because they won't find out that they're missing something important until after they've missed the main opportunity to learn it...
They do some real time image processing now, I noticed when I went to a taping of the view. You can see the two screens on the camera (taking during a break). I'm not sure what they're doing exactly.

Literally! I can count on one hand the number of interviewers who have asked me about my past work experience. The most important thing seems to be whether I can regurgitate various tree operations on a whiteboard. It's only a matter of time before they cut out the middle man and start hiring candidates by (university_ranking, hackerrank_ranking) in lexical order without as much as an interview.

> Also - not sure if it true - I heard that most Tesla controls are touch screen, and as a person who does not want to take eyes off the road, that probably would not work well for me. I could do almost everything during driving in fractions of a second without looking, purely with muscle memory.

Mostly true. Depending on which model you have you'll have varying level of controls on the steering wheel. (Think media control, whipers, cruise control, etc.) You also have decent support for voice commands, but I find that way too cheesy.

It's definitely not for everyone but I prefer the touch screen/clean dash look over traditional "cockpits".
You're redefining the term here. Yes, the employee might say "this is bullshit" to low pay and long hours, but the term "bullshit jobs" is meant to refer to jobs that have no tangible benefit to society. These jobs are typically mid level management type jobs that could be eliminated if not for our society's sense that managers are necessary.

Cf. Arguments about the financialization of the economy and correlation of per capita lawyers in a society with that society's impending doom.

When I bought my 2000 Honda Insight, I was harassed, verbally assaulted and (in several cases) purposely run off the road. People were seriously offended by a hybrid back then. I warned everyone back then that rode in my car. My mother and future wife experienced it first hand.

I think there are 2 things going on with Tesla… the first is similar to what I went through and the second is simply jealous have-nots. You can criticize something you don’t prefer, but once you cross the line and harass/threaten, you’ve officially become a piece of shit.

Awww shit.

>The widespread occurrence of signals exhibiting such [1/f] behavior suggests that a generic mathematical explanation might exist

From the article you linked... That's kind of scary. To be honest, one of the things we have done with ads as the medium of exchange with some IT services is inadvertently dedicated some of the smartest minds of our generation to "Figure out the addiction function". Look what we've done in 26 years, imagine what we can do in 100 years.
not a car person and I also haven't used a touchscreen based car yet, but yeah I think the lack of haptic controls at least in my mind would make it a lot harder to operate the radio, AC, etc. safely without having to take your eyes off the road. I don't get the appeal of the touchscreen beyond looking fancy.
> One would hope that automotive software is held to a higher standard.

I do wish it crashed less but it is worth noting that if the media unit crashes the car is still functional (gear shifting, driving, blinker, etc.).
Cruise control is the absolute worst on my Model 3, I've had to stop using it on my most frequent highway route, Highway 1.

It will randomly stomp on the brakes as hard as possible, when there's a slight curve and a car in the other lane. It's terrifying to me and to all passengers. Completely unusable. (And still you will find me in other comments here saying it's my favorite car I've owned... there's a lot going on here I guess.)
Also, as of 2021, Consumer Reports rates the Model 3 like this: https://i.imgur.com/En8Yqv4.png

For your comment below "folks are buying enough Teslas to support the production capacity of Tesla" ... that only means that Tesla is not producing more then what they can sell?

(Note: I posted my reply above because HN/dang won't let me post a reply below)
And we liked it! (not really)
Is yours a model year 2020 or an older used one you got last year? I haven’t really had any software issues and certainly no “phantom braking” over a i molar time period on a 2020. The Spotify integration initially sucked but has vastly improved with later updates.

My main quality complaint is the road noise. The tires just howl and the wind is loud at highway speeds. I wish I’d waited a few more months and I could have gotten the double pane glass.

Regardless it’s been a great car.
Not necessarily [1]. COVID vaccines particularly give you far higher neutralization titers than a prior infection.

[1] A glaring counterexample to your hypothesis is Brazil (Manuas) where prior infections (as high as 60%) didn't stop the P1 variant from ripping through.

Great take on user interaction and design.

If someone feels this idea seem far-fetched, think about how applications or sites make you feel when it belittles you for mistakes made in an input, dropp all your progress because you followed the misplaced button, or use the ‘cute but sad animated animal mascot’-dark pattern when you want to cancel an account.
> Average sale price of a new car: $39k [3]

From your third page, https://www.experian.com/blogs/ask-experian/what-is-the-aver..., the average price of a Hybrid/alternative energy car is arguably more relevant than comparing to all new cars. The avg price of a new of Hybrid/alternative energy car is $28k not $39k.
As an owner I love Sentry mode (especially if you set up some automations to offload it and merge the video streams).

I wish the blinking lights was configurable though.
It's unfortunate because of all the platforms it is one that gets the most human interaction in terms of real thoughtful humans willing to discuss things. I've tried a lot of platforms and dev.to is the best as writer from this perspective. Medium has better stats but that is about it.

It's super unfortunate that the best place to write is also the place most blocked. HN isn't the only one. Reddit also by default blocks dev.to. There are plenty of low quality articles on both sides.

I think the moral of the story is that there is too much garbage out there and a computer algorithm is incapable of making the distinction. HN is fine risking being behind the curve if it saves it readers from wading through it. That's a fine tradeoff but means it leaves things on the table.
Oh nice. I really hope they bring other Microsoft Home titles to the Archive. I keep an old 32-bit laptop exclusively to run titles like Microsoft Dinosaurs that just don't work right on a 64-bit processor.
Like it or not, perception matters. Take accents as a similar and more obvious case: rural accents will often cause you to be looked down on, and so some find it extremely valuable to deliberately adjust their accent (in some lines of work, it’s pretty much essential to hone a certain accent). So it’s often worth at least contemplating such feedback, if you care about being taken seriously. (But don’t get too hung up on it if you’re just a normal person, either.)

Just to emphasise this the more clearly: I’m talking about facts of life here, not ideals.
How do you know that is what the average person likes or what they think? Are there any studies for these?

I don't entirely agree, averages are useful for decisions like deciding if I want to move to a new city, or deciding what type of job I want. But I want a great fit when I'm looking for a new job. If I have an average job that I don't have strong feelings for, I don't need to accept the first good offer. So I can wait for something I'm really excited about.
> The Johnson & Johnson vaccine does not use mRNA

It uses DNA delivered via a non-replicating adenovirus vector, it's the first vaccine of its kind to be given any form of approval in humans in the United States and maybe the fourth in the world all in the last year. It is still "new technology" in a similar fashion to the mRNA vaccines. For the new=scary=bad crowd it isn't much of an improvement.
I had this "game" growing up! As I recall, since I guess it has been 25 years, wow, only the preset autopilot stuff was something I could do. I recall trying to fly from Earth to Mars, or something, and getting very frustrated. I was too young to know that rockets just don't work like video games depict.
Buying direct from Thermoworks is not a great difficulty.
I got interested in 2600 programming a few years ago, it's really fun. I never got around to making anything of interest, and I've sort of lost the drive to try. But even though I'm not programming, or even playing it much, it turns out the community is just really cool in general. I still browse the Atari Age forums daily and there's a really great Twitch channel, ZeroPage Homebrew, that's usually live a couple times a week. The developers of the homebrew games are usually in the chat, and sometimes even OG developers are on the show. David Crane has been on a few times. It's the coolest online community I've ever come across.
Phantom breaking mostly occurs near overpasses/signs above the road. AFAIK it's from radar false-positives.
The touch screen controls are mostly ok. I'm a huge proponent of knobs and switches as well but I've mostly been able to make due.

The two biggest issues with touch screen controls for me are windshield wipers and temperature.

You can turn on the wipers on the left hand stalk which is good for when some truck splashes your windshield and completely blinds you. The automatic wiper sensor is...not great.

I find the temperature controls hard to use without taking my eyes off the road. And the number of times I've accidentally turned on heated seats while trying to change the temperature...why on earth is that button so prominent?
It's always just that simple. Say goodbye to 90% of restaurants and most small businesses - problem solved!

> I doubt Samsung is gonna come even close to Apple in performance

Why not?
The Model 3 is priced comparable to a BMW 3 series. The only maintenance you have on them is tires, air filter, wipers, windshield washer fluid, and eventually brake pads. There’s no engine maintenance, no oil changes, no premium gas, no transmission issues, no timing belt, starter, ignition, etc.

If you look at an actual cost of ownership comparison, the Model 3 actually compares favorably to even a Toyota Camry over 5 yrs of ownership. Even in expensive electricity places like CA it’s still way cheaper than gas. The up front cost is a bit higher, but long term it’s cheaper.
I don't think I have to drive a Tesla to conclude I hate those things, because my experience with pretty much every other product I've used has consistently re-enforced how much I hate them. There is no circumstance in which I would prefer to have to use a touch screen to change my window wiper speed, or seat heater. And I still miss my old manual transmission civic because shifting gears is fun, and because it wouldn't try to cut power in the snow, or keep me in my lane when I am intentionally moving out of it. I don't even use cruise control or lane keep assist, I want to be the one driving.

Pretty well every time I interact with a device that tries to replace some physical controls with a touch screen, or automation or something I think it is a worse experience. Except for Phillips Hue, that is pretty awesome. Although I still have full control.
It's common in the Northern California tech industry. People will prefix questions by saying "Question" or statements with "So". It's sort of phatic, like a header that prepares the listener for what's coming. No one would take offence at it there.

However, I agree that it is out of place in a demonstration video since people are looking for the info in the first place and already know what's coming.

Would you mind sharing where you're from so I know which region I should be careful to not offend people by speaking like this?
I've had a model 3 for 1.5 years, I've never had such issues.
Thanks for confirming Dang!
Mind you, I haven't used this in too long, but when I did I don't recall any issues.

And the average EV has an average sale price of $42k, why would you choose hybrid over that?

I would agree that a hybrid is a far better comparison than a Porsche GT3, glad you do too. That was kind of the point of my comment...
Tesla certainly has its issues to resolve, but among the biggest problem for me with buying a Tesla is that it represents the gradual but seemingly unstoppable transition of car ownership becoming very much less “ownership,” the way that had happened with software and computers in general. The actual QC issues do seem somewhat serious, but having been inside of a Model X I can 100% understand why someone would be more than happy to deal with an abnormal amount of service issues in exchange for the experience; to this day I would not be surprised if there are no strong direct competitors. Last I looked, most electric cars focused on budget, and I’ve heard newer more luxury focused options still come up a bit short.

I’m not a car person. I have only been in a few “luxury” cars. The Tesla was definitely the defining, “OK, I understand why people enjoy this” moment for me. The amount of torque is terrifying, and it doesn’t really feel like it attempts to emulate the limitations of a gas car in any way. It feels very futuristic.

Compared to my Civic, it’s obviously a hell of a time. But there are some points worth noting. The Sensing feature on the Civic sounds like a nice additional safety feature, but it is pretty abysmal. Of course you wouldn’t expect it to be anything like Waymo Driver or Tesla Autopilot, but even as a safety feature its value is tenuous, very occasionally doing things that could be dangerous (like automatically firing the brakes during a sharp turn...) And the Civic is a well-respected line in terms of being cheap and fairly reliable from what I understand, but there were a litany of hardware and software QC issues in at least the 2016-2018 range. Again, you can’t really compare these two vehicles. But the Civic is a vehicle you buy because it’s a safe choice, yet you could easily end up spending thousands to fix climate control components that should’ve been recalled out-of-warranty, or have issues with software-controlled brakes failing (not in a safety-critical way to the best of my knowledge, but there are some bugs, which makes you feel a bit uneasy...)

I feel like Tesla owners know what they’re getting into: it’s buggy, it might even be insecure, and there are even ethics issues at hand, but it’s luxurious and it feels like the future. Not too many people sell the future in entrenched industries. A Tesla is rare, and I think that is probably why it generates so much hype...

I could probably afford to buy a Tesla. However, I’ll pass. I would like an electric vehicle, but I am just going to hope that there’s an option more down my alley in the future. Maybe there will be an option where you actually own the car you buy, even! Let’s all keep donating to Louis Rossman, on that note...
Which begs the question, why do they hit the front page so often? What's the allure? Do readers expect to find anything except mild disillusionment and a faux-deep revelation that spending fourteen hours a day staring at a screen is bad for your mental health?
Interesting read. One small observation,

> The Book of Revelation paints two outcomes for the future of humanity: catastrophic apocalypse or a new heaven and a new earth

I think Revelations is describing one big event only. It starts with descriptions of what the world will look like before the end (with beasts and the worshiping of the beasts etc), it goes on to describe how Jesus comes down and initiates what is basically the end of all civilizations on Earth, and then on top of those ashes, "New Jerusalem" comes down for all of the ones who survived the final judgement.

I don't think Thiel could save anyone from this, or at least it would not be your normal interpretation of the Bible. The final judgement is inevitable.
You drive a beamer? That seems odd (image search it). Perhaps it's that thing there the local language mistranslates something.

Regarding the 'everything else seems heavy'-feeling: that is exactly what it feels like to me as well. Not in some absolute term of 'therefore it is bad' but the difference is quite present. With a lot of cars it seems like driving it is an effort, and it is presented as being an effort and almost praised as a universally positive property of the car.

At the same time it's very weird to see the polarisation within the world of car users as if you can't have both. If I were to drive to get some job done, I really don't want to drive 'with effort' or have a car that 'shows some effort'. I want to get from A to B and do the thing I wanted to do, not 'work the car'. That is a strange realisation when you drive a lot of previous-generation cars and don't have an issue with that right up until the moment you get the ease of an EV that just 'does the thing'.
Happy to share. I’ve worked as an “analyst” which basically has boiled down to creating 15 minute slide decks detailing player behaviors/patterns, which ideally would be used to scout upcoming opponents and look for weaknesses.

The easily digestible stats like KDA or gold/min are relatively useless in this regard which is what I meant by them being low hanging fruit.

So I’m currently in a situation where I’m curious on how to best quantify or develop a series of metrics that can prepare teams for their opponents. The current system of watching vods, taking notes, and making slides is rather dull if I’m being honest...and really not paradigm shifting. If you’re interested I can show you videos/presentations/figures.
1. No. I'm also speaking from both sides of the table, as a hiring manager I could never be offended by someone simply looking to gain the greatest benefit from their employment. I won't say it can't happen, however, because every service team is different.

2. Well, over the course of the last few decades, I think probably most of them, having started out building dialup services in the '90s on shelves piled up with USR Sportsters, to principal engineer for a multinational service provider; developing various appliance products; developing global-scale provisioning & monitoring tools for transit and hosting services; helpdesk; operating a LIR; dating RIR staffers; standing up new IXPs; SRE; hiring; designing data centers; M&A due diligence; post-M&A systems convergence; webdev; postmaster. My concept of "full stack engineering" starts with racking the servers, or perhaps even before that: getting the business case approved and running the RFP. Never been a peering coordinator, though, I'm not demonic enough.
> COVID vaccines particularly give you far higher neutralization titers than a prior infection.

Do you have a source for that?
Local software != map data, necessarily.
Yeah, "pioneered" was too strong of a word. I'm sure there's no way he could've been the first person to come up with the idea. He was just the one who widely popularized the attack and released a convenient tool for it.

For anyone who remembers it, "Firesheep" also had a big impact, too. It didn't do anything special or novel whatsoever, but it was a really easy-to-use tool that drove home to the average person just how dangerous plaintext HTTP was. Lots of people immediately started using it in school classes and logging into everyone else's Facebook and Twitter accounts. I'm not sure if it was the direct cause, but I know not long after that, all the big services began switching to HTTPS for everything rather than just login and payment pages.

There's probably some startup lesson buried in there...
2020. Phantom breaking is real and incredibly scary. I've heard reports that it is more likely near overpasses but every time it's happened to me I've been on an empty eight lane highway (thanks COVID traffic) with no overpasses in sight. I find myself rarely using autopilot in traffic because if it phantom breaks, I'm going to get rear-ended.
There's a Whose Line Is It Anyway bit from a couple decades ago where Wayne Brady (musically talented, athletic, young, black guy) says "How come there's no one who looks like me on 'Friends'??" The audience says "Aww" in sympathy. And then Colin Mochrie (balding, awkward, white Canadian guy) repeats "How come there's no one who looks like me on 'Friends'??"
A lot of people are very derisive, and that's easy to do while sitting from a comfortable chair on a keyboard. but if you're taking a manual labor, you will suffer the consequences down the road, all that and without insurance.

And sure, clearly staring at the sun (or a screen) for hours on end isn't good for anyone's eyesight, but at least there's glasses.
