> people are not internally consistent

There are those with cognitive dissonance, i.e. those who will actually verbalize contradicting thoughts. However there are also plenty of people whose thoughts are fully consistent and logical. That said, those people will still behave contradictory to their thoughts.

> You won’t cajole people into reconciling their beliefs into a cohesive elegant whole

Logical arguments won't work on persuading an illogical person, that's true. However you don't have to live with it. There are plenty of other options besides logical arguments. There's bribing, coercion, and manipulation. Emotional appeal being a really successful technique in the manipulation category.

> .. and that includes yourself

Indeed it does. Logical thinking is great, but primarily done by the left brain hemisphere. I often witness myself doing things while thinking to myself how this wasn't the plan and how I still don't agree with my actions. That's because my plan was made primarily by logical thinking with no extra steps. However there is plenty of manipulation I can do on myself. For example if I have cookies that I shouldn't eat, the more effective strategy is to throw them away the first chance I get (to increase friction, the right hemisphere seems to love laziness), as opposed to thinking that I can always keep myself from eating them with pure willpower.
Odysee
Never let a bad decision get in the way of a good story.

I'm always thinking about "Create vs. Consume" => make sure it's at least 50-50, aim for 80-20. Most men I've met on death beds regretted doing nothing.

Do I truly understand a problem space or am I just making a water-cooler level of abstraction? Dig deep, down the bolts, or shut up.

Are the kids happy? is the wife happy? Then I'm happy. People remember you by how you made them feel.

And this last one is controversial, even within me: prayers are not lost to the woods.
This is fascinating. I’m curious what other common items incentivizes theft in this manner.
Perhaps you should have tried asking if I had read the comment, which I have. I just interpreted it differently than you did. The principle of charity would have most useful if we had applied it to this discussion.
That may be true of you.

Other readers may have a broader range of skills and face different requirements.
For me the one killer feature of Tesla that isn’t brought up often enough is the UI display and that they actually keep the car updated and push out improvements. Similarly to how you see other manufacturers being able to assemble a better car (for now IMO), I trust Tesla on the software front because I’ll be damned if I’m buying a car with a crappy stock Android OS or similar until proven otherwise.

> people were idling with full batteries, blocking my use

How? If you’re at full and the Supercharger is at high capacity they start paying idle fees. I mean I guess someone can sit there for no reason but that’s a surprising story to me.
I presume it will melt, like any other expanded polystyrene, the very second it reaches 100° Celsius.

Right. And vaccination won't help very much if they change their mind after they get sick.

i don't know exactly what Chomsky means by 'mass popular action', but i suspect that 'mass protests' are just one of literally innumerable -- practically-speaking, hundreds or thousands (??) -- of things/tactics/campaigns/'actions' that whole lots ('mass popular') of people can do.
> These are unserious, self-contradicting arguments, intended to muddle the issue.

Not really? Literally 95% of Windows malware executes from one directory - the AppData directory. By enabling Applocker, built into Windows, you can block 95% of observed samples. There's no contradiction there and I'm giving very explicit, practical advice.

> The fact that corporations sign up to take on responsibility doesn't make them any less victims when they're attacked.

Well it kind of does. When corporations don't actually suffer due to the attacks but their end users do, it's the end users who are victims, and it's the corporation who is often at fault. Again, this is legally the case, it's why we have ISO 27001, GDPR, etc.

> In sum, you're going to ridiculous lengths to absolve the actual criminals here by moving blame to the victims. We should all be angry at the companies, not the actual criminals.

I don't think my lengths are ridiculous. I've mentioned two very simple policies that any corporation can start rolling out today.

I'm perfectly fine blaming criminals, it's just a really silly place to start. If you want to solve geopolitical issues, power to you. But, again, we should (and do, legally) hold companies accountable to secure the data they hold.

Your argument is incredibly black and white and advocates for a completely impractical response. Most corporations are not in a position to impact geopolitical incentives ie: companies can not easily budget for "make certain countries not hack us". For massive companies that can absolutely be part of their approach.

But just because the hackers are at fault doesn't mean the companies hold no responsibility.

As I said, individuals should never be blamed for a breach. They take on no responsibility, ethically or legally. But companies do.

If you want to pretend otherwise, ok? It's denying some pretty obvious moral issues, as well as some well defined legal ones, but everyone is welcome to their own system of ethics.

Of course it derives from Edsel Ford's fortune, but that does not imply that the foundation advances the interests of Ford the company. Per the foundations history[1], it fully divested its stake in Ford the company by 1974.

No, the concrete it appears to be embedded in should stop that from happening, it is essentially a hollow panel at this stage with a dense concrete surface layer. That's also why then can have those tensional elements in it, if you tried that with 100% styrofoam it wouldn't do anything other than rip the elements apart.
Explorative notes because this provoked some thoughts and opinions of my own.

1) Value them like a lottery ticket. Now what? They are worth nothing or something. You won't know until they are actually drawn in 4 years. Waiting is fun, right? You're happy to wait for your bonus?

2) Do you enjoy working there? Right now they are chains binding you to the business. Is that an issue? If you get bored and it becomes just a pay check, can you start a suitable side hustle so you stay awake?

3) They're worth nothing at all. The business goes bust in two years. What opportunity cost did you pay? What other actual paying positions did you pass up?

4) Is the business sane enough to last another 5 years? 6 years? Other than your salary, would you actually invest in the business if you could on the market? Are its fundamentals valid? Does it actually produce cash flow? It seems like it is progressing. You worm for them. Are they progressing in your perception? Could you convince me to invest? What would you say?
> Being told the built in 3G modem will have to be scrapped and replaced at my expense

This is exactly why I don't like to buy devices that are coupled to unnecessary electronic components or batteries. For instance, a high-end speaker or headphone can last decades. Make it connected and battery powered, it'll be in a landfill within a couple of years. Environmental disasters in the making.
Is this the general consensus of their attitude towards quality? Curious if people think this is an artifact of SV culture to move fast?

Having previously worked in safety critical spaces in aerospace and automotive, this lackadaisical attitude to QC is a bit foreign to me.
Had an opportunity to drive one recently (2020 Model S). Felt very high-tech. If you love speed and acceleration in a straight line they’re wonderful. But the sort of “fit and finish” and general comfort was… not what I would expect from a car costing $40,000+

The real risk for Tesla is probably other manufacturers catching them on range. Once you have EVs in the same price range, with roughly the same capacity Tesla starts looking like any other car with a bunch of gizmos instead of comforts.
But masonry doesn't work (there or anywhere) by insulating -- they use it for it's high thermal mass, which let's you effectively use the cool night air to keep the building cool during the day.
There's a lot of abstraction needed for a unified app platform, as a lot of it is communication with hardware layers.

It'll probably end up like Flutter at best. But there's a lot of code that people haven't wrote, and both mobile platforms are changing fast enough that there will continually be more code. To expect a solid unified platform is to expect no further changes on the native layers. Something like a new method for exif would still be quick to port over, but a change like scoped storage means older code would have to be rewritten. On top of that, there's a lot of undocumented behavior when you go deep enough, and the problem becomes squared with an abstraction layer.

It's not impossible, but it's a variation of low code, with all the ups and down.

I would like to see more declarative programming though. I think GPT-3's prompt engineering sets a good example of what could be. We're still thinking like machines, except machines will be thinking like children in the future.

Eh, they have praised Tesla models tons, too.
I realize this is a mental model thing, which makes it more of a heuristic, and I believe this one is correct. However, I finally had a situation recently where it _was_ the compiler! I submitted a bug report and a patch and now it’s no longer a compiler error!
I once worked in an office building that was a two story geodesic dome. It was mostly OK, except that the curved walls could be annoying especially on the second floor.

I had a second floor office and it was hard to find good use for the space against the outside wall. Anything tall, like a bookshelf or lamp, had to be quite a ways out from the base of the wall to get enough vertical room.

A desk would have fit in that space, but who wants a desk facing the wall away from the door so you are working with you back to anyone who enters your office?

I ended up putting a couch there. Unless you were quite tall there was little chance of accidentally bopping your head when trying to sit down or get up, and it only took the tall people a couple of hits to learn to be careful. :-)

Domes are cool looking on the outside, but require care to make work on the inside.

They probably work better as houses than office buildings, because the designer of a house can better anticipate what each room will be used for and arrange it so that things you'd naturally want against outside walls are things that would be OK with the curves.

An office building has a lot more variability from tenant to tenant, making it more likely that the tenant's things won't work well against the curved walls.

My main concern if I was considering a dome for a house would be maintenance and repairs. For example if it has a shingled roof and developed a leak could any average roofing company deal with it, or would I be looking at calling in specialists? Probably best for a dome to get one that is not essentially a conventional building in dome shape, like the office building we were in, but rather something like the domes in the article.
Ford has almost $100B debt and $46B in cash with net profit margin of 2.3%, gross profit margin 8% with revenue down year-over-year. Tesla has $14B debt with $16B cash 5.2%, gross profit margin per vehicle is 30% with revenue increasing >50% year-over-year. Tesla is priced for future expectations.
I doubt it. Neither plaster nor cement are ideal thermal insulators, and 100° Celsius is not much in the context of a raging fire. I don't think a fire will need much time to deform the EPS panels in these buildings.
Motorised seats moving automatically can be very dangerous.

SpaceX StarLink satellites used by GPS to pinpoint location on the Earth
I think it’s misleading he mentions Spacex. They’re purposely doing a low enough orbit that the satellites will naturally decay in 2-5 years.
Truth but the solid bricks insulation is so poor that it’s comparable to that of the wooden siding =)
I’m referring more to the parent’s BMW/Mercedes/Range Rover. I totally get why people would put up with Tesla’s teething problems. I don’t get why people put up with shoddiness from other car brands, unless they’re so rich that they can afford to buy a new car every couple years.
That's what insulation is - a material which changes its temperature more slowly than another material. You can do that by being a big thermal mass so that heat transfers but takes a long time to have an impact as a kind of thermal 'flywheel', or you can do that by making heat transfer in the material slow by having a high 'insulative value'.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_mass if you aren't sure what we mean.

My house is cool in the summer because it's still warming up from the winter.

That doesn't work for wood - which is just the same temperature as everything surrounding it - so boiling in summer and freezing in winter.

From a geopolitical standpoint that would cause SpaceX an incredible amount of trouble since they have to get government permission in every country they want to operate in. Lots of countries would not easily grant such permission without major strings attached.
> I think it's a mistake to ask non-experts to prioritize things they don't understand.

Exactly right, for the most part if the business has enough trust in engineering to do the best they can, the technical strategy to realise business value is up to engineering, including 'debt'.

The most effective strategy I've seen so far is my current employer. We split our time across the quarter. 60% to core product focuses for the quarter, 20% to ad-hoc requests from the business, and 20% to 'tech improvement'. The latter includes personal growth for new engineers related to our stack or exploring new tech, improving our current tooling, and addressing areas of 'tech debt'. This split is agreed with the business, and the tech lead in a team is responsible for maintaining the balance and has autonomy here too - often we see areas of debt that impact our product focuses so that becomes core for example. It takes trust on all sides but seems to be working well.
If I were an Eastern power and I were falling behind in the space race (due to the success of private companies in the West like SpaceX), intentionally triggering Kessler system doesn't seem like the most improbable policy.
Given that there is a highly virulent novel virus, the odds are stacked against the anti-vaxxers because if you believe that you can somehow avoid getting infected then you are not calculating probabilities properly and so you are underestimating the odds of contracting the virus and surviving, i.e. the odds are stacked against them and they don't realize it.

Now, how exactly am I using the phrase incorrectly?

I frequently struggle with insomnia. I sometimes take sleeping pills, however, I feel I've developed a tolerance. I'm also scared of the side effects described on https://www.canadapharmacy.com/. So I'm in search of natural alternatives. I was also strongly recommended THC. I think I should try it.

Now and then I get reddit as a search result in google and without non fail the discussion goes nowhere. No one on reddit has any idea what the hell is going on. At least they are consistent. When reddit shows up in google you can assume you are on on own. Kind of like being behind the moon.

Every car I've owned in the last few years has a setting to move the seat when you open the door so it's easier to get out. This isn't Tesla specific.
Polystyrene filler for concrete foundations is pretty much how it is done these days.
I agree with your point about the unit of work mattering, but songs aren’t chapters, so I’m struggling with the comparison. My (limited) understanding of the music mastering process is that tracks are deliberately added after a full, final mix is made, but regardless of the how, if Adele’s preference was for the entirety of the album to be listened to in one sitting, then it should be one track. If I wished to read a book out of order, sure it wouldn’t make sense, but it’s my prerogative to do so as the consumer of the content.
Same here, I went to my local convenience store the other day, and the cashier short changed me by 5 cents. So I took out my gun and shot her in the face. I mean - this was totally justified since they broke the social contract and stole from me.
Harvesting 21st century's most valuable resource -- the best and brightest people -- from disadvantaged countries is horrific. It's colonialism, in my opinion.

I'm always astounded by people in rich western countries boasting about how they poached all this talent from some of the poorest countries on earth. Like, yeah that's great you got another doctor for your healthcare system that spends billions of dollars extending people's lives by a few months. Guess that country she came from where children regularly die of easily preventable diseases won't miss her. So long as we don't have to wait more than 10 minutes for an ambulance when we have a boo-boo and get to see a doctor immediately at the ER f- everybody else.

Though as you say, I don't judge everyone purely based on that greed and selfishness. They all have their failures and blind spots.

I don’t think people were overly critical because of the “fake it till you make it” bits. Rather I think they were critical of what appeared to be a serial hypocrisy between what was being preached about “the we generation” and what he was actually doing behind the scenes. That’s what the “Billion Dollar Loser” mostly focuses on. The S1 was also one of the most jaw droppingly bad S1s in the history of IPO attempts, which caused potential investors to flee literally overnight.
Responding to two of your comments.

> I personally imagine for reading one's own writing, just like listening to my own singing, the exact "pain points" you feel would also be felt by any audience and therefore are the most valuable feedback you could possibly receive...

Curious if you've actually received the exact same feedback from someone else listening to you sing vs your own thinking? Realize that might just be a stylized example. But I'm a drummer, and over many years of playing in front of people I've observed that they didn't notice the "paint points" I noticed. Lots of these things are relative right?

> I view it as inappropriate to put pen to paper to publish about something I've only put passing thought and research into, so this point is a bit facile.

A Tesla model 3 in Australia costs more than a brand new Lexus IS300 Luxury. I tested both (and the Tesla S, just for the hell of it), and despite really really wanting to own an EV and leave ICE behind forever, I left with the Lexus.

The quality difference is difficult to even put into words, even against the S. The Lexus feels like a $100k car, yet costs 3/4 of that. The Tesla S feels like a $50k car, and costs more than double that. The 3 felt worse than a Corolla in every single way other than performance, but if I wanted a fast vehicle that's built like crap I'd just go buy a used sports car and at least I'd be able to get parts for it and get it serviced/repaired without it taking months.
> How? If you’re at full and the Supercharger is at high capacity they start paying idle fees. I mean I guess someone can sit there for no reason but that’s a surprising story to me.

Because the idle fee is less than some parking garages cost? Or less than the convenience cost of moving the car?
