Your opinion on Tesla is built based on twitter hot takes.

> spool up EV production and buyers start buying more EVs, companies like tesla are just screwed.

That's what people have been saying since 2016. Yet Tesla sells almost 3 times as many BEV as the second best.

More then basically all other non-China companies combined.

Other manufactures have announced their scaling plans publicly, turns out they can't magically make EVs. You severly underestimate how difficult it is to suddenly build something totally different that depends on different suppliers and supply chains.

If it was so easy, why are they not doing it. Why are their plans by 2025 still below what Tesla is doing now in many cases? If its so easy according to you.

> Tesla makes their cars in a tent

They built 1 final assembly line in 'tent' that was actually a pretty stable fixed structure that pratically is almost no difference to a traditional factory building. The guy who did that was well respected manufacturing engineer that since built the factory for Lucid.

The CEO of VW just had an emergency meeting saying that Tesla is doing better in manufacturing then them. I bet you have heard 1000 times about the 'tent' and nothing about the CEO of VW point out that they need to do better to keep up with Tesla.

Tesla is doing fantastic at manufacturing and scaling manufacturing, this is a simple fact. Tesla next generation factories are even a significant step beyond what they have done in China, and that factory is doing amazing.

Tesla is vertically integrating battery and car manufacture into the same buildings, nobody else is close to that outside of maybe BYD, they have actually made innovations in body manufacture that is beyond what anybody else has, and its not close. Tesla electronics is way beyond any other companies.

You seem to have built your opinion of Tesla in 2017 and not adjusted to what actually going on since then.

A 'lease manufacturing company' simply doesn't exist that could help Tesla. The best one is Magna Steyr and they couldn't come close to building what Tesla can.

I think this must be a US phenomenon. My used car in the UK costs me about $600/year plus $0.14/mile (including fuel, taxes, inspections, maintenance, depreciation, parking, insurance). And that's in a country with ~$0.09/mile in fuel taxes.

Granted this is not the average cost of car ownership but a car chosen for low total ownership cost.
Homework is worthless, but establishing a precedent that you should ignore things teachers ask you to do is pretty bad, too.

(Indeed, one reason homework may be harmful is the way it can create an adversarial relationship with teachers and condition students to ignore teacher suggestions and feedback).
If they want to have an effect on mortality rates, they would better make food producers figure out a way to get people ingesting less sugar.

American children are actually getting cirrhosis! It's the single greatest health crisis of our age, no exaggeration. Over half of Americans have symptoms of Metabolic Syndrome, what they used to call "fatty liver disease", a precursor to cirrhosis and numerous other ills.

Now that we know saturated fat is not only totally harmless, but important to health, maybe stop promoting low-fat diets, and dis-incentivize advertising "low-fat" and "non-fat" food, which is typically laced with sugar instead. And, maybe make promoting sugar without fiber to minors a felony?

Ironically, being a music producer myself, a whole bunch of the things in my mastering FX chain are intended to simulate the inaccuracies of analogue equipment that, by happy accident, enrich timbre with warmth through mild saturation, with sparkling high end by emphasising upper harmonics.. I have a whole cavalcade of painstakingly simulated tube amps and preamps, old analogue compressors/mixers/EQs, tape machines, delay plugins that simulate the artefacts of old bucket-brigade chips and the warbling of tape delay systems. Professionals and studios would have 10x as many doodads to, technically-speaking, fuck up the accuracy of the sound in some way.

Have you ever done a DIY project around the house? There is a lot of trash out there, and the dislike to like ratio is a great way to quickly parse out the crap without 1) reading bottom barrel youtube comments or 2) watching 22 minutes of nonsense at 1.75x speed.
If this is seriously what you do when something underneath you fails, then you aren't writing in the domain of software where errors really matter, and you're probably better off in a language that has a gigantic try/catch handler around everything. In that case you may as well just log (or not) and ignore the error in Go as well then.

At high scale, you want to perhaps try your query a few more times, backing off exponentially, maybe even round-robining (or more complicated load balancing) among different targets. Throwing up your hands and 5xx-ing a request that easily is not something you can afford at high scales of traffic where small outages happen _all the time_.
If you already have the round filled with someone then I would just prioritize specific individuals to add to the round. It’s not necessarily worth talking to other vcs since most of them would like to have a larger % of the round.

But for associates you would likely say the same things as you would say to the partner. Associates can’t make any decisions so they have to make a compelling case to the partner, and the partner has to make a compelling case to the whole partnership. Also talking associates means the partner is not interested enough yet, if they were they would probably want to talk to you themselves.

Depends on the fund and your stage but in early stages investors looks at the team, product and market. Each vc has a different order of preference for those 3. If the big enough market exists and team is the right team to build the right product. More proof or traction you can show the better. Also growth month over month is generally more important than absolute numbers. Flat or slow growth can look worse than no growth.

Personally I think timing makes all difference. Fundraising when you have your story together and have some good traction but not too far along for the stage or getting to a point with where many vcs are already somewhat interested and hammering your email and at least one of them is close to give you a term sheet or given you a term sheet. Then you can round up the interested ones by saying that there is term sheet or a term sheet incoming.

The most important recruiting information is missing. You have to be a full-blown fascist, and you have to keep up with your lies. Never tell the truth.

All the books by Ex-CIA confirm this. That's why they mostly recruit out of known fascist families or universities, like Yale. Being ex-military or drug or mafia killer should also help.
Good write up.

There is a cult around intelligence we really need move beyond, given that it is predominately an inherited trait, speaking no more or less to any individuals self-worth.

Proportional representation of various (tribal, ethnic, gender, religious, racial) groups would actually be the anomaly in nature, not what the parent is identifying as an issue.

It is always math and but never nursing. That alone may shed a little light on our biases.
Huge sympathy on the math thing.

For my boys, we went outside school to various providers of math offerings for gifted kids. But quality is rather variable.

Being ahead academically doesn't mean you're ahead developmentally. Rote practice to avoid mistakes and do really systemic work is useful sometime around ages 12-14 -- during first algebra classes for kids on the normal plan. But courses for gifted 10 year olds taking Algebra I at e.g. CTY tend to lean even more into the "rigor", which my kids survived but it was unnecessarily difficult. Instead, they should be looking for ways to shorten problem sets and approach problems from various angles.

That is, whether you can keep a 9 term polynomial straight and avoid swapping signs or coefficients is really a measurement of attention span and focus, not understanding of algebra... and students that are way ahead in math are probably slightly ahead in attention span and focus, but not to a degree commensurate with their mathematical knowledge.

(We really like Art of Problem Solving, though it's pretty intense).

It seems like, given that this is the only post by the account, they made an unrelated-to-their-public-face account and posted something deeply personal technically publicly visible to an account with no attention paid to it, and then somebody came upon it and shared it widely.

(It's also possible that medium has a "drafts" feature with unlisted-but-accessible posts that they kept it in and someone somehow found a link to it? I don't know, I don't use medium, just spitballing scenarios that fit.)

I don't quite understand the desire of people to post something somewhere public but not at the same time, but I have seen people do it before. (That is, I understand the desire when you are, for example, deliberately attempting to circulate information that would be troublesome if linked to you, but less so when you don't actually want it to propagate?)

Thinking more on it, I suppose it might be akin to a long-form version of the catharsis some people found from things like PostSecret, wherein people's short snippet darkest secrets were anonymously shared for other people to consume without being linked to the originating party.

Hm. Interesting. The newer navigation systems are based on Android I think - right?

My GF has a 2008 Lexus with a GPS/nav that is definitely not Android. All the maps are onboard on a drive. She actually can't update her maps anymore because the physical ROMs or whatever stopped being produced a few years ago. I'm assuming that newer cars just download their maps from (somewhere? Is this connectivity part of what's sold as a "navigation package"?)

There are other reasons I'm not a fan of newer cars (auto-braking, too much fly-by-wire stability/antilock/nonsense pushing your pedals when you don't want them pushed, and "hill hold"). But disabling the tracking stuff would make it more palatable.

Ironically, my radar detector knows exactly where I am and communicates with a network all the time when it's plugged in. But that's for my own joy =D

> Previously, you had to be a serious cyclist to access this speed (and corresponding ability to simply exist on car-dominated roads), but now almost everyone can.

Wow, interesting that they frame this as a positive. I'm a general advocate for e-bikes but this has been the absolute biggest drawback I've noticed with them: e-bike riders suddenly get all of the speed of a very fit cyclist but absolutely none of the road awareness.

Most "serious" cyclists in my area generally behave pretty well, or at least when they're breaking the law they are usually doing it in a way that has manageable risk to them (I'm not approving it, but I understand it's calculated), while I've seen a lot of ebike riders do some phenomenally dangerous things because they just didn't realize it was dangerous.

I don't necessarily blame the ebikes for this -- I just think riding on "car-dominated roads" requires some experience rather than just more speed. Ebikes aren't a replacement for safe infrastructure.
Oh no, I have seen a lot of people on social media who have completely fallen for the misinformation around this case who are completely convinced he is guilty of murder and being found not guilty would be due entirely to white supremacists on the jury or the bench or some other conspiracy theory about the police or prosecutors involved in the case.

They have become completely divorced from reality and not even linking and quoting statutes and case law or footage and transcripts from this trial or photo and video evidence from this case changes their mind. They've been literally brainwashed into not believing their lying eyes, it's like flat earthers and anti vaxers. It's really scary how effective this branwashing is and how so many gullible people fall for it :(
Setting my Firefox to search via DuckDuckGo years ago now leaves me just to read about these new dark patterns, rather than having to experience them in person. There is often much discussion about 'the quality of results od DDG' but back then after a few days I had no issues with DDG and now after a few years I find Google search results and layout just strange. Fully recommend.

I've used Scala in production codebases and it was common to just "let the EitherTs handle the exceptions". What ended up usually happening was swallowed exceptions that nobody bothered to handle and log because it was much less idiomatic Scala/FP to actually log what happened underneath than it was to return the first error that happened by short circuiting the EitherTs in for/yields (Maybe and do notation, for Haskellers). So we'd get 5xxes and log lines like "row not found" and have absolutely no idea why.

I see a lot of the same issues in Rust code today FWIW. People just keep bubbling up errors and at the toplevel say "fuck it" and dump them, without _actually_ building a reasonable error chain to offer the programmer a story behind how the error happened. The fact is, error handling in any language is tedious. Whether you do it with a sum type, a product type, or Go's error values, either way there's going to be lots of verbosity and boilerplate.

The thing about ebikes is they sit in a speed niche that hasn't really been seen before, and it's going to cause lots of problems.

Before ebikes, you either rode a bicycle, or moved up to a motorscooter or motorcycle, which are much more regulated. The problem is, ebikes are stealth motorscooters. They go really, really fast, for sustained periods of time, and yet are as thin and quiet as a pedal bike.

I just started riding motorcycles and you are told that you should ride as if you are invisible, and it's totally true. Ebikes, however, are even worse. You're still going 30, 40 or more and yet, you're even less visible to traffic and less protected should something go wrong. This is going to be a huge issue as these things get more popular. Which they will be.

My son and I are getting really into ebikes and e-dirtbikes and e-motorcycles. We're building our third right now [1]. They really are a totally new and interesting area which, like how Tesla changed perceptions of electric cars, ebikes are going to do the same with two wheeled vehicles. For those of us in temperate areas like California, it might represent a real fundamental shift in how we all commute. Laws are going to need to be changed quickly.

For those of you interested, definitely start looking at all the activity around ebikes and e-motorbikes online [2]. There's a quickly growing community of enthusiasts who are building their own bikes from scratch, modding/upgrading their off-the-shelf bikes, converting old dirtbikes and more.

It really feels like we're at a tipping point. Even HN has had several articles about it in as many days, even though I think most of the articles and conversation really missed the point: Ebikes are a 10x innovation and we should really be thinking of what that will mean.

When I worked on Call of Duty (~7 years ago) almost all of our source images were TGA. The runtime format that almost all games use are various block compressed formats (BC7, ASTC, etc) and usually these are grouped in some kind of package/archive format (although engines are moving away from that in order to stream at the asset level) and lz4 compressed on disk.
I was curious how Windows handled process teardown not too long ago, dug into it, and realized it just kills the process instantly. Which seems both brilliant and awful at the same time. Any idea how other systems handle teardown?
Training someone is a) time-consuming b) not a guarantee of success. Yes, perhaps the OP would take that approach, with hind sight being 20/20, but hardly the obvious conclusion to come to 6 months ago.

I have been patiently training someone for 4 months. He's not getting it. He's not ready to deliver. Whether that's a reflection of my training skills, or him, i dunno. Whatever, but I'm tired, and now have to go through the pain of letting him go and beginning the search anew. Wish i hadn't taken the risk.

Before buying the device? Sure, if you want. You would be aware that those wasted cycles and wasted network traffic are part of the price.

But what about the rest of us who aren't like you, who bought the device without knowing before hand that this theft would take place?
I would also like to read your thesis.
Could control-surfaces theoretically be used while still under atmospheric drag to help circularize the orbit. You would definitely have to have delta-V to spare but it seems like you could deflect air to produce a thrust (anti-)radially while sufficiently far from the perigee but still under enough atmosphere to get a decent thrust.
Two of these things are kinda the same

Or even closer to Beijing in Tianjin's new financial district. Actually, the tallest building in China is an incomplete sky scraper in Tianjin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldin_Finance_117), which hasn't had any work done on it since 2015 or so (similar to North Korea's Ryugyong Hotel).

> but you really don't get close to a neutral perspective from most of the Western media.

If anything considering my 9 years living in Beijing, western media holds off on a lot of crazy things that happen in China. No one would actually believe the reality, they would think it was all made up (e.g. the incomplete sky scraper in Tianjin).

>a car chosen for low total ownership cost.

I own and drive a car that I bought with the intention of owning and maintaining cheaply, too. I am fairly anal about maintenance, so the costs associated with that are actually inflated from what they could be.

I live in Southern California, apparently a very expensive place to be.

I own a reliable used car that I bought for fairly cheap (sub 5000usd).

I pay about 82 dollars a year for registration, and 85 dollars a month (with a good DMV history) for insurance.

I spend around 1200 dollars on maintenance a year generally, but it has been as low as 500 a year.

So, 2400-2900 a year after the initial purchase. It's more expensive than some places -- but not ourageous.

Licensing is a lot cheaper than Japan, at least.
