Because not everyone can charge at home and in cities people will rely on curbside charging, for which Tesla has no answer.

The question will be: how big is the market of people who can afford a Tesla, but live in an apartment building with no possibilty to install a charger in the garage.

I don't think it's a live threatening issue for Tesla, but at some point they will need to solve it. I guess adapters will do.

That's not right, the only "proprietary" connector is Tesla's, every other connector is completely open. Tesla claims theirs is open, but clearly not enough for others to adopt it. The non-Tesla connectors, none of which are proprietary or unique to a manufacturer:

* J1772 "Level 2", the slower 240V AC that's common for home charging (this was incorrectly labeled as "type 2, thanks for the correction jsmith45)

* CCS - fast DC charging, the form factor is Type2 plus a bit of an extra shape.

* CHaDEMo - a separate fast DC charging connector
Because they can’t sell their cars in locations where they haven’t built out a supercharger network, which is still most of the world. The more interoperable standard will win there. Starting a supercharging station worldwide is very different from doing it in a few first world countries.
That's the general idea but some care is needed to account for any trends and to account for the natural variance in the numbers.

For example the 2019 numbers subtracted from 2018 numbers wouldnt be zero. There will be some systematic trends, seasonal variations and some unexplained fluctuations. This requires some model fitting that uses not only past mortality data but also the usual macroeconomic data. Once you are at a point where you see that there are no systematic pattern in the error between the predicted number and the actual numbers, that this error is equally likely to be an over-estimate as an under estimate, then you would be in a position to use the model.
On the subject of libraries on large code bases. I think one should be careful on deciding what goes into a library and what goes into an API/Service. Both allow you to share code. But there is a difference on who controls the deployment in prod. For example if you need to change a business rule, you can change the code, and when the API/service is deployed the rule change takes effect. However in a library you make the change and deploy the library but it is up to the apps that include the library to decide when the change is deployed in prod. As the owner of the library, you no longer have control on when it is deployed in prod.
Thanks for the insight! Though the fact that understanding this requires me to learn two new acronyms might hint at the problem with customer adoption and perception.
Discord seems like a good choice for communities, but I've never seen a company use Discord for internal company chat, whereas almost everyone seems to use Slack or Teams.

Anecdotally, I see Slack as something I use for professional purposes, and Discord as something I chat with my friends on. I have Slack on my work Mac, and Discord on my personal Mac. I see Slack as an extension of Skype for Business/Lync/other business tools, and I see Discord as a better Mumble/MSN Messenger.
Study "market making" in the stock and options markets.

The most important concept to understand is

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

That is, you make money trading if you have a predictive model and use Kelly to turn that into bets.

See this book

https://www.amazon.com/Dr-Beat-Racetrack-William-Ziemba/dp/1...

for a strategy that still works and an example of "predictive model + Kelly". (e.g. that strategy still works because anybody who masters it and would scale it up goes on to Wall Street and plays for bigger stakes)

Tesla's overall mindset will likely keep their charging technology and approach ahead of other networks. Faster charging rates, more charge stations, better maintenance. Complying with a third party standard means they will not be able to lead.

In my view, they've always seen charge stations as a profit center and opening to other makes improves the return on that investment. As long as Tesla is selling all the cars they can build, this would be a net positive to revenue. It's also consistent with Musk's overall goal of hastening the transition to renewable energy.

How Nine Covid-19 Vaccines Work
I did say “likely know”. The point was not so much who the targets of state level actors are, but if you are a target there is not much you can do about it. The resources they can invest, especially against a smaller but more critical company, is orders of magnitude more than that organization can afford to defend against. There just isn’t a lot you can do practically to defend yourself from those kind of threat actors at smaller business. I think medium to large business have way more tools at their disposal.

Not sure I follow your logic. Watts is essentially using deductive reasoning:

1. The set of beliefs that are true are not equivalent to the set of beliefs that promote fitness

2. The brain is designed to promote fitness

3. The brain may hold beliefs that are not true

You are saying that Watts' statement is undermining itself, that the conclusion undermines either of the premises. But neither 1 or 2 is in contradiction to 3.

Now he takes the conclusion a bit further and argues that not only may we hold untrue beliefs but that with time we will hold a substantial number of untrue beliefs. He does not justify this in this quote but again, this statement is not contradicted by 3.

Or are you saying that since he argues that the brain lies to us then we can't trust our brains which in turn invalidates any reasoning demonstrated by a brain?
Yeah, PDF can play embedded sound files. It is an overly complex format. Its character encodings are defined by embedded CMap files, which are a restricted subset of PostScript. It includes by reference the CCITT G3 fax standard, PNG, JPEG, JPEG-2000, JS, Deflate, TrueType, the PostScript Type 1 font format, a separate richtext format that isn't PDF for annotations (ISO 32000-1:2008 §12.7.3.4), and several other things. In different contexts it represents line endings as \r, \n, or your choice of either of those plus \r\n. And the 3-D models thing isn't an extension; it's in the base spec (§13.6), although the actual 3-D format is ECMA-363, which is included by reference, like Deflate and JPEG.

But it's nowhere close to the complexity of the entire web stack, not within an order of magnitude. It's much, much simpler.
But some volunteer fire brigades have also a club to finance the fire brigade through donations and member fees. The members of the fire brigade are also members of the club, so they are partly paying for their own services and equipment.
This is the reason for monorepos.

It's not about migrating APIs or coordinating deployments. That's an impossible problem to solve with your repo. It's to update libraries and shared code uniformly and patch dependencies (eg. for vulns) all in one go.

Imagine updating Guava 1.0 -> 2.0. Either you require each team to do this independently over the course of several months with no coordination, or in a monorepo, one person can update every single project and service with relative ease.

Let's say there's an npm vuln in leftpad 5.0. You can update everything to leftpad 5.0.1 at once and know that everything has been updated. Then you just tell teams to deploy. (Caveat: this doesn't really work as cleanly for a dynamically typed language like javascript, but it's a world wonder in a language like Java.)

I can't fathom how hard it would be to coordinate all of these changes with polyrepos. You'd have to burden every team with a required change and force them to accommodate. Someone not familiar with the problem has to take time out of their day or week to learn the new context. Then search and apply changes. And there's no auditability or guarantee everyone did it. Some isolated or unknown repos somewhere won't ever see the upgrade. But in a monorepo, you're done in a day.

Now, here's a key win: you're really at an advantage when updating "big things". Like getting all apps on gRPC. Or changing the metrics system wholesale. These would be year long projects in a polyrepo world. With monorepos, they're almost an afterthought.

Monorepos are magical at scale. Until you experience one, it's really hard to see how easy this makes life for big scale problems.
> Your electric car is only as good as the density of its network

Presumably this is somewhat true for marketing and removing obstacles for potential EV buyers, and in practical terms, for long trips. But short of those long trips, the network is not a big factor in the quality or usability of the EV.
Pretty much yeah. I guess there are some deductions which need to be filed manually as the government would have no way of knowing about them. Like if you have a really long commute to work you get to deduct a certain amount per KM from your taxes.

But mostly these days, unless you run a company, you don't really have to change much about your pre-filled tax statement. Only once have I experienced that my housing association made addendums to the yearly tax report that needed to be changed in my tax statement.

I also lost some money on micro loans last year that apparently I had to file deductions for myself, but it amounted to so little money that I just let the state keep that money.
Workers do not demand appropriate wages commensurate with their value at all times. I recall making $7.25/hr and having colleagues "doing well" by making $7.50/hr. At the time it was not uncommon for "good" employers in the service sector to promise something along the lines of a $.25/hr raise every 6 months to a year.

Now the problem with this is that the effect is to lower expectations for wages by taking advantage of financial literacy. Someone working for them for 4 years receiving a raise every 6 months earns $2/hr more. The employer/seasoned employees point to this and say that a starting wage $2/hr higher is unreasonable. Unfortunately the fixed rate wage increases diminish over time, and if you think that moving into management/higher level positions would entitle you to more money... then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

When employers mirror this strategy or take other similar approaches, then you end up with wages that are depressed relative to the value of the labor being provided ( or the opportunity value if that labor was applied to other activities, or used more efficiently ).
I'm trying to appreciate your analogy, but perhaps Tesla charges are better than the more open version unlike Betamax.

Author of Jester here.

I agree that a nice website would be great to have for Jester (and I do intend to create one), but I think you place far too much importance on Jester having one. Jester/HttpBeast is used in production by big web apps[1], why doesn't this inspire enough confidence and possibly even more than the other web frameworks you've mentioned?

I think there is an inherent bias that all humans have for shiny design, you should definitely keep it in mind when choosing a technology.

I created some big apps in mod_perl back in the day, and although I don't use it at all anymore, looking back I do appreciate the sigils.

Especially in the modern era of type safety and type inference, it can be hard to tell what variable "is" just by looking at its name or assignment. Whereas `%names` gives you a clue.

On reflection, my biggest critique of Perl is also its biggest strength: it's just so easy to use regular expressions. It's such an important language primitive, people use regex everywhere.

Unfortunately, even experts miss regex edge cases, and when regex fails, it can fail spectacularly. Then future-you (or worse, someone else) has to parse and fix that massive regex you wrote after drinking two espressos.

In general, clear beats clever. Even if it means your clear, lengthier solution is actually slower.
I would think it'd be very hard for Betamax adopters to switch their machine and their collection to VHS, especially if they lived in an area where there was mostly Betamax retailers.

Compared to the geography of Switzerland, it makes sense to talk of a trans-continental railroad in the US and is absurd in relation to Switzerland. You can put three Switzerland's (or one Portugal) in the Mojave desert.

To put it another way, Europeans haven't built high speed rail from London to Baku for similar reasons. The tree lined cloisters where political theory makes all nation states equal is not a good model of physical reality.Swiss rail hasn't connected Bern to Baghdad.
I get your point. But this is exactly what Russian information sources are trying to make everyone believe (that "it's not exactly as clearcut as that", almost a literal translation of the phrase they like to repeat so much). I can presume that your information sources got most of their information from Russia-influenced media, and this pretty much expected if they were in the East at the time everything started. But the truth is that, once you peel back the informational disguise, it actually is very clear-cut.

Probably similar to how organizations go through the approval process for Google, Amazon or Microsoft. Once the company is approved, any of their services are green lit for use at the company.

I could see Salesforce approaching it from that direction. Good investment that gets them in the door of more companies.
Aside of what the other commenters replied (in support of the assertion), please bear in mind "Blindsight" is a scifi novel. Peter Watts is not a scientist, he's a writer of fiction. Whether he believes what he wrote in his book is uncertain, but remember this is primarily a work of fiction.
I meant it literally. I've had dreams where instead of a normal language, I dreamt in C++, as if it was a human language. Instead of spoken words, a header file was changing in my mind, taking shape to match my thoughts.

This confusion is caused by the different notions of problem: there are "decision" problems and "functional" problems. What grandparent asked ("what is the shortest path?") is a functional problem in nature, whereas P & NP are classes of decision problems. A (more or less) equivalent decision problem version of above question would be "is there a path of length at most X?", which then is of course easy to verify if a potential solution is presented.

Pi is nice, but also used hardware would do the job. At least in Western countries old Core2 Duo business desktops are basically worthless by now, and such laptops don't exactly cost much either.

What solutions are there for those sorts of folks?

Really interesting article. I'm quite convinced that digging through a heap structure is an excellent way to discover 'new' or 'unexpected' knowledge for oneself.

"Journalism" doesn't tend to reward this. It is a tautological statement than faster is better, all else being equal, for any type of work.

In this case, the article is by a guest author. They are not a journalist and this isn't, technically, "journalism".

"Journalism" also isn't monolithic enough to warrant the accusation that the trade itself is lowering its standards across-the-board. There are plenty of examples of deeply researched stories or elaborately crafted features on anything from pop culture to science to politics. While some publications may have succumbed to the easy fix that is viral content, and many local papers are but a shade of their former glory because nobody cares, the are plenty of publishers who escaped the other way, to quality.

Your complaint about selective quoting also really isn't really about anything being rushed. I presume you could lock the author in a dungeon for a few hours and they might be willing to say whatever you want, but not because they suddenly agree with it.

If you disagree with the author and work in AI, I would suggest that it isn't entirely impossible that the topic of cognitive biases is relevant here in more than one way.

The price of the Twikes is absolutely ridiculous. You have to be an idiot or an absolute enthusiast to buy one because with every other vehicle you get a lot more for the money.

I wonder how they got to that price. Obviously no economy of scale here but still, I can't create a business on the grounds that I will only sell like two vehicles per year, so I need to make them ridiculously expensive to make my company sustain.

Even if I totally manufacture that machine it will never be so costly.
