Once auto manufacturers spool up EV production and buyers start buying more EVs, companies like tesla are just screwed. So screwed. They kick started a trend but I don't think they are in a position to hold their market share for very long.

A company like Ford has manufacturing facilities around the globe. Tesla makes their cars in a tent, and Rivian is delaying their first order until 2023 despite securing all this funding. Manufacturing is a huge challenge, probably a harder problem to solve than actually designing the EV. To even get the manufacturing capacity that ford has today would cost these companies probably an order of magnitude if not more than what Ford paid to build out this capacity decades ago, given the increases in costs of land, labor, and construction globally over those decades.

Best case would be for Tesla or Rivian to lease manufacturing space from an automaker, at which point they always lose out in a price war vs a company that owns their own manufacturing space and doesn't have to lease it from a competitor.
Just remembered OS/2 Warp.
Show HN: Keygaen – Go WASM PWA for PGP
Hey HN! I just released keygaen, a PGP web app. Using it, you can sign, verify, encrypt and decrypt data with PGP in your browser. It also supports key generation, imports and export. Written in Go for WebAssembly and works fully offline thanks to the go-app package - no data ever leaves your browser.

I'd love to get your feedback :)
All of the top CCP officials are billionaires, with the top 100 approaching $10 billion each.

Note that their average salary is $20,000/year. You can do the math - their wealth represents 100,000+ salary years each.

Now you see why Marxism is so popular with American academia.

A huge price inflation in ICE is perfect for making EVs more affordable from a perception standpoint.

When the drivetrain cost drops well under ICE (pre-inflation, which should happen with Tesla in about a year depending on 4680 production) and charging takes off, ICEs will look completely noncompetitive.

If solid state batteries become feasible and/or LFP hits the magic density number of around 200-250 wh/kg? Look out. The bottom is going to fall out.

I think the valuation is driven by the delivery vans rather than the R1T.

The world desperately needs electric delivery vans. Rivian already has Amazon as a customer and as an investor. That's an outstanding combination.

The R1T is a super heavy, niche pickup truck for wealthy American households (DINK?) who like camping in style. It's not a truck for the industry, and it will not come close to the F150 in utility.

I totally agree the Cybertruck is a design from a comic book and I have no idea how it would pass pedestrian safety regulations. But the Cybertruck being a bizarre vehicle doesn't imply there's a big market for the R1T.

Yeah, I had a clever rejoinder having something to do with Jewish immigration rates in 1816...and then I read the rest of the article and realized that it was probably one of the less egregious errors in TFA.

The like:dislike ratio is so important when picking a tutorial video. If I see a video on replacing my headlights has an awful ratio, I'm going to save myself the time and find a different video. YouTube has been disappointing me for years now, mostly with their hiding of things. Subscriptions don't work the same as they used to and recommended videos take precedence over everything else.

The issue is that it's so critical to learning these days, and so much of the entertainment I consume comes from it. Can't say I'm surprised though. Social media has it's positives and enjoyable properties, but in the end, they will manipulate the platform in the most fiscally advantageous way.
Do you support custom layouts (including big text boxes for certain fields, or at least a pop up zoom), and embeddable subforms?

It sounds like dealers choose how much to borrow. If they borrow less, banks get less interest, meaning less income, unless they replace it by finding other people to make loans to.

> There are varying opinions when it comes to how to handle VC associates — one of the strongest coming from Paul Graham, who in sum suggests you never take a call with one. It’s an opinion I often hear repeated by other founders.

Is that still relevant today ?

What PG said was :

> But an associate is not a VC. They have no decision-making power. And while they may introduce startups they like to partners at their firm, the partners discriminate against deals that come to them this way. I don't know of a single VC investment that began with an associate cold-emailing a startup.
No, I don't think so. But it's not because of the chemicals or machines. There's not really any demand for it. Most hobbyist "ICs" are fully digital and can already be realized on an FPGA. For simpler applications, you can probably program a microcontroller to do what you want.

Integrated circuits are appealing to industry because they're integrated - they can be smaller and they reduce cost (long term; still need the upfront investment). These are important things for many products, especially in RF, but they aren't really driving factors for hobbyists.

That being said, people are trying! http://sam.zeloof.xyz/second-ic/

Yep. Developer tooling has been making massive strides over the last six decades, all focused on the problem of making information (aka code) easier to manage. Dendron builds on top of this and applies it notes.

There are two reasons why we have this guideline:

(1) Supercilious putdowns of other people on the internet are among the lowest quality type of comment; and

(2) Grandiose generalizations about the community are nearly always just the result of a few (or maybe just one) data points that the speaker didn't like. They're nearly all bogus, which is why people with opposite likes and dislikes express exactly the opposite general conclusions. Again, this is among the lowest quality type of comment.

With most open source hardware efforts, like this, it's not really so much circuit design as it is just code. All of the open source efforts I've seen revolve around digital circuits, which are written in some kind of RTL and turned into an actual circuit by completely automatic processes. It's still great, and I fully support them, but there's a massive amount of non-digital that's crucial to getting these systems up and running. Not to mention that even if you have an open source CPU RTL, for example, you'll need access to a closed-source and often NDA-blocked PDK (process development kit), fabrication company, etc. I remember seeing some efforts at open sourcing the PDK part as well, but remember being unimpressed.

Dealers have a line of credit, like a credit card, that they use to purchase inventory. They pay it back as they sell cars, and run it up as they buy new inventory to replace it. So the overall loan balance roughly represents their current unsold inventory. No inventory means no loan balance, which means no interest payments to the bank.

Apple isn't here to be end-all-be-all for their customers. They are there to sell products and services that make sense for their customers.

If others undercut them or provide more comprehensive service, then that's a market Apple has decided not to compete in now. Good for their competitors.

Absolutely. Getting ratio'd is one of the few ways users have to express displeasure. They took away video replies, comments are often disabled, but they can't pretend everyone likes their video. At least they couldn't until now. That Verge PC build that would destroy your parts if you followed it? That horrible soulless YouTube Rewind? Logan Paul's "sorry I exploited suicide victims for views" video? Dislikes are a force for good. I can count the videos I've seen unfairly disliked on one hand.

The direct exposure in itself is not very high as other posters have noted, however the way the CCP is handling this and general market reaction can have serious impact on confidence and in turn financials markets can react globally .

In combination with high U.S. inflation, slow economic recovery in the aftermath COVID-19, labor shortage/great resignation/ supply chain challenges , there can be potentially large domino effects, however is hard for anyone to say how bad it can become, or will we be lucky.

an important thing to note, everything in the typical interview programming assessment is covered in one DS/algo class students usually take their sophomore year.

Not athenian democracy, because that had hierarchy inherent in it. But yes, we believe in Direct Democracy.

>Direct democracy might work well for a city state where even poor citizens are independent land owners,

One of the principal beliefs of Anarchists is that property is theft[0]. So no one would be an independent land owner. Everyone would be equally involved and have equal rights as we would all be members of the Commune/Council/Community/Collective/Union/whatever term the community wants to use to describe their collective. I prefer either Commune or Union personally.

>But I'm not convinced it would work for a large nation where there are enough powerful bad actors that they can use marketing and patronage to get control of the political process.

A lot of people have this idea that Anarchism would break down at larger levels. And that's kind of true, but we have organizational techniques to avoid this. One such technique is the idea that you have your commune and it's you and your neighbors or coworkers (you can be in multiple communes) and it will be a small commune where everyone knows each other. This is the group that handles most of your day to day governance and issues. These communes will federate with other communes, and create a commune that are represented by a member of each member commune. These representatives would represent the will of their source commune in the larger federation, and can be instantly recallable if they start making power plays or decisions that the source commune doesn't agree with. There could be multiple levels of these federations, each keeping the group in session small (less than 80 people) but no one really being in a position of power or permanently having their job. Each commune that's part of the federation can choose how they choose their representative. Some may want the most charismatic person. Some may choose at random. Some may consider it a duty of the members of that commune and so it switches every few weeks. These representatives don't get special perks or privileges for being chosen. They just represent their federation and their commune in order to expedite the process.

Also, Anarchists do not believe in the concept of the City State, or the Nation. Borders are violent[1].

You think that it is barbaric that a dislike button is not available on one single platform? Because that is what the other comment was about. It was about the dislike button.

> Right after I finish installing everything, boom, it's found more updates.

I've always thought that's because the newest ones are dependent on some of the second-newest ones, so it couldn't install them before the dependencies were installed. And the reason it throws those at you immediately, "boom", is that it hasn't really "found more updates" after installing the first set; it knew about these ones too, from looking through the list it made for the first update, and just held them back for a second round.

Just my speculation, though, so could be totally fucking wrong.
