TSLA was matching the profit criterion for a while but was left out because it was too dependent on gov incentives. Which is fine but it is an active decision. As they are not making this kind of arbitrage for other companies relying on gov interventions and gov policies as well.

As technology oriented website users, I think it's likely most of us are familiar with Joel Spolsky's advice to never do a big rewrite [0].

Regardless of the faults of current policing practices, the fact is that they represent centuries of judicial, legislative, and social work by many thousands of individuals. It is dishonest and absurd to believe that such a system can be adequately replaced by "something new I dunno lol". Cultures and traditions embody solutions to problems you don't know exist. "Cultural revolutions" have always and everywhere exposed the gaping wounds of the past and revived ancient problems that were once solved.

The difficult and tedious work of persistent mutations and small improvements is historically the most reliable method to improve the lot of humanity. But it's not as exciting or sexy as "burn it all down" rhetoric, and people do want to get laid.

I think most of the US had much less strict "lockdowns". I think the most restrictive it ever got in my area was that gatherings of 10 or more people were not allowed, and to actually get it enforced, you probably had to go way over 10.
It's a very meaningful distinction. If you have a put option, the stock can go to the moon and back multiple times, and you can still end up in the money on the strike date. If you have a short position, you're going to get margin called on the way to the moon and it's "game over".
Options are time-limited and expire so you're betting that it goes up or down BEFORE a certain date.

You can buy very cheap out of the money options at small fractions of the cost of the shares by making bets that TSLA will drop hard in the next year while the market thinks that in that timeframe it will not.

Most of the time you lose money doing this.

Time it right, though and you can make 10x returns, but you have to be right and the rest of the market needs to be wrong, which is often unlikely.

But even if you're right in the long-term you need to also get it right in the short-term.

I don't think I'd be betting against this market right now, there's no guessing how irrational we'll wind up getting. Post-pandemic I would guess we'll have even more of an irrational bubble around back-to-normal, and a rising tide lifts all the boats.
If I ordered a bike from Amazon and got a box like that, I might just figure "oh crap, they sent me the wrong thing" and process a return without even opening it. And then be highly confused when it happened again with the replacement.
That converts the digital signal to analog and back again, which isn't ideal.

Possibly worth noting that Burry is not the only Big Short figure to openly opine that Tesla's pricing seems way out of whack compared to its fundamentals. Steve Eisman (aka Mark Baum in the movie) was publicly short Tesla for a bit. I think he ended up closing out and losing money at some point with a rueful "It's very hard to short a stock that's a cult."

It's possible both of them are wrong and Tesla has fundamental value at a level they were unable to analyze. Or it's possible that Tesla's future will be determined by things beyond fundamental value. But it's also possible they're right on some timeline.

Amazon and Apple are WAY WAY WAY different companies than Tesla.

Apple has dominated high-end smartphones for over a decade. Amazon has dominated eCommerce for that time and longer.

Tesla dominates EV, which is a tiny portion of all auto sales. There is about to be huge competition in the EV space from legacy auto manufacturers and a car is not the same as a phone.

There are plenty of cars with a WAY better driving experience than a Toyota Camry but it's still the best selling sedan on the road. So really hard to believe Tesla can win by offering "premium" driving experience.

As someone working on a cross-platform, cross-language packaging tool (https://github.com/spack/spack), it's very appealing to not have to build for every OS and Linux distro. Currently we build binaries per-OS/per-distro. This would eliminate a couple dimensions from our combinatorial builds.

We still care a lot about non-x86_64 architectures, so that's still an issue, but the work here is great for distributors of binaries. It seems like it has the potential to replace more cumbersome techniques like manylinux (https://github.com/pypa/manylinux).

With a put option, you pay premium in the form of "theta decay" over time. If Tesla stays flat, you lose your entire premium, and on a stock like TSLA with high implied volatility, that can be a very expensive proposition.

Similarly, with a short position, you'll be paying a borrow fee which will vary over time based on short interest.

Long before the 787, ETOPS allowed the 767 to cross the Atlantic in the 80s.
In other areas they're already trying. e.g.

if (o instanceof SomeClass) {
o.someClassMethod();
}

Following this line of reasoning I could want to assign it to a local var:

if (o instanceof SomeClass) {
final var s = o;
...
}

An analogous situation arises with null:

if (o != null) {
final var s = o;
...
}

Making the type of `s` a non-null type of `o`s type.

The annoying thing with Java language development is that they just don't seem interested in rounding it out with consistency/completeness.

I wish the recent history of Palestine were different too, but it seems unkind to use language that implicitly blames Palestinians as a people--or the factions that now hold power--for these issues. Literally any people on Earth would probably have a similar history, and be in a similar (or worse) place with respect to government, if they faced similar pressures for such an extended period of time.

I didn't say you said 'haters' that's a stylized/flourished way of saying an opposing viewpoint. That's why it's in quotes. If anything it was self-deprecating/deferential with respect to my biases. Jumping in with "that's not how logic works" is certainly a valid thing to call out as whining or complaining because again it's not particularly civil. Off the basis of your misinterpretation you once again accuse your counter-party of 'hallucinating.'

As I said this thread is over and should in the future you decide to have a civil conversation I'll happily engage.

I built a PHP library[0] for Amazon's new Selling Partner API, because none of the existing libraries were feature-complete enough for the projects I was working on. To my surprise, it's actually picked up some steam -- ~400 installs (and lots of email/GitHub questions :) so far!

It's really fun having a tool that I created get some use.. I've benefitted a ton from the OSS community, so it's nice to be able to have that relationship go the other way, even in a small way. Plus, I've learned a lot about Swagger/OpenAPI, and the many quirks of Amazon's seller-facing software.

> Hamas, which took control of Gaza and proceeded to murder leaders from other Palestinian political parties

You appear to be misinformed. Hamas won regular elections (considered such by international observers, who also reported obstructions from Israel). Hamas then kept respecting the ongoing ceasefire with Israel and started softening its stance towards it, offering a permanent ceasefire, while on the other side Israel campaigned to put the Gaza strip under the strictest embargo. On June 8th, two days before the end of the ceasefire, Israel killed an Hamas official in an air strike.

I have been reading through the Commander Keen source code. https://github.com/keendreams/keen

Sprites have precomputed shifted versions so they can be drawn with fewer than 8 pixels alignment.

The number of cached sprite versions can be set per sprite, and ranges from 1 to 4, so sprites can never be placed at odd pixels.

EGA has hardware scrolling to compensate for the 8 pixel wide bytes, where you set the ”pel panning register” to a value from 0 to 7. For some reason, Keen Dreams ANDs this with 6, removing the last bit. I’am guessing it is to avoid stuttering when the player sprite moves sideways at the same speed as the viewport is scrolling.

> Lithium-ion batteries are very compact, but they cannot be considered sustainable and bring safety risks

C'mon this is silly. The dominant safety risk of a small vessel (and all of these are small in modern terms) is capsizing in heavy weather, with the loss of all hands.

LiFePO batteries, built into a bank with really excellent waterproofing, would be quite adequate to the job. If lithium battery technology in general proves to be unsustainable, we may as well pack up and go home, because decarbonization isn't going to happen.

Taking the average specific energy of LiFePO from Wikipedia, we get 12.5kg per kWh, almost five times denser for a proven technology you can buy off the shelf. 4.4 tonnes for the larger battery, compared to 9 tonnes for the smaller saltwater battery sketched out in the draft, and 21 tonnes for the larger one. That's 16.6 tonnes of additional life support the ship can carry; stowing a ship is a classic knapsack problem, there's no such thing as an "acceptable" amount of tonnage and volume to leave out of the equation.

Using saltwater batteries here would be an ostentatious stunt. Arguably that's what this whole thing is: an ostentatious stunt. But it doesn't have to be, it's a good proving ground for much larger sail ships, and a thousand tonnes here, a thousand tonnes there, pretty soon you're talking about real cargo. Electricity requirements should be very much sublinear with cargo capacity as well.
"It is aimed at what it calls "creators" - writers, painters, musicians"

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Very soon the app's investors will realize that there's no money in musicians, but appeal to lowest animalistic desires - power, greed, lust - is where all the money are. The app will morph to cater to that: it'll become more addictive and more extortive, i.e. more "engaging" in the corp double speak. Investors will get massive returns, the crowd will get another amplifier of their lowest desires.
“Our goal is to make money, and not creating problems for society,”

It's a pretty big problem for society when hospitals, universities, and countless business have been ransomed.

Hopefully shutting down a majority of the East Coast's pipeline capacity will be large enough that the US finally uses its deep pockets to do exactly that.

> Light rail is for the rich. Done. Every time the rich want light rail it needs a transit oriented development, pushes out the poor, and saddles the new rich with a development tax.

Wouldn't that indirectly decrease road congestion for those that need/choose to drive? If more people in a densely populated area are taken off the roads, that seems like a win for both the drivers and for the transit riders regardless of income. Lower income folks being displaced seems like another discussion.

> Now think of all the startups, do they all work in a centralized location, nope, because any centralized location is running a huge facility and is a huge company. Think Facebook.

I'm not sure I understand your point here. Is it that startups can't afford to work in a central location? I personally have worked at startups in downtown areas, and know many others that do as well. Being somewhere central helps their candidate pool since some people are unwilling to drive when transit is available to them. Also I'm not sure how being in a central location requires a huge facility.
> What war crimes are hidden by low quality satellite images that would have been exposed by high quality images?

““Deliberate targeting of civilian objects and extensive, unjustified destruction of property are war crimes. Destroying entire multi-storey homes making tens of families homeless amounts to collective punishment of the Palestinian population and is a breach of international law," Saleh Higazi, deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa at Amnesty International, said in a statement.” [1]

Having high resolution satellite imagery would certainly help determine what has been and hasn’t been targeted.

Name an example, and name the effect that was significant enough to the upshot of the song that mixing the stereo channels down to a single mono channel would lose prime information for the listener.

I'm not saying there aren't examples, but I want to listen directly to an example you would consider severely degraded if heard in mono (i.e., stereo channels mixed down to mono and then just copied to two channels).

If you're interested, check out the listening tests section at https://hydrogenaud.io where experienced testers contribute results to devs trying to improve various lossy codecs.

It often depends on the source material -- some sounds are harder for some algorithms to encode, leading to increased bitrate if the codec supports VBR, or perhaps artifacts of not, or if there's insufficient bitstream available.

Unsurprisingly the newer codecs usually manage to sound better than MP3 at significantly lower bitrates. Remember the only point in lossy encoding is to save space / bandwidth -- it's literaly why MP3 et al were invented.

Is this something we're actually going to see in reality?

Call me a cynic, but I've seen innovative new designs for commercial planes since I was a kid, yet here we are nearly 25 years later flying planes that look like they're from the 1950s.
I study aerodynamics, so some comments:

- vertically-stacked wings (biplanes, triplanes) are common, but I've never seen 3 non-stacked wings. Not even the Nazis were doing that, which is a red flag for this project actually.

(I think it was France that passed a law that airplanes required at least 2 stacked wings around WW1, as monoplanes had too many structural failures at the time.)

- more wings mean more lift, but also more drag

- one advantage of more wings is that airports support only certain wing spans, so winglets or more wings is a work-around for that. (The result of winglets is mainly to effectively lengthen wing span.)

- very thin wings aid in penetrating the sound barier. This is a subsonic plane in terms of speed, but more accurately it's a transsonic plane (mixed subsonic and supersonic) over certain parts.

- I don't see the second engine, but if it has two, that's adequate for most oceanic operations because other small jets are allowed to do that, and ETOPS. (If ETOPS regulations apply, then engine reliability history is examined.)

- If the engines are too close together, then an uncontained engine explosion can destroy the other. This is fairly common for engines mounted near each other.)
