I like the "smart, but not wise" quote from Kahn in regards to their utility as permanent living spaces. When everything in our material culture is built around straight lines and right angles, domes just don't use space well. But for temporary structures that don't need interior walls or substantial furniture, they work great.

Also, 8m is pretty big in my eyes - I've made two geodesic domes, one 3v 24' (~7.3m) diameter and one 4v 32' (~9.7m) diameter, and even the 24' was a pretty decent bit of work to fabricate and assemble.
Oh that's nice! I actually had an idea for this on the drawing board at some time, great to see that it has been done. The blocks I had in mind were more universal though, and easy to put together with just hand tools, these look like they would be nice to create using a CNC driven block factory, a bit like a roofing company makes joists using a CNC driven chopsaw.
That would probably result in 99% of the population effectively being genocided. If the government is farming kids they'd probably only want eggs/sperm from the people most likely to produce high earners who can pay lots of tax. Healthy, tall, high IQ etc. 99% of men and women wouldn't qualify and their genes would go extinct.

It's hard to find people interested enough to write publicly about something but having no vested interest in an issue. To that end, I still prefer to read things from people who I would disagree with rather than those I agree with, as it forces me to refine my beliefs and examine them more closely: can I actually find clearer evidence to reinforce what I thought I had believed that was in conflict with what I read? Can I refute it? Can I understand why they reached a different conclusion than me?

Sometimes I'll find that they were indeed making up an alternate reality or misrepresenting things. Sometimes I'll find something where the arguments being presented are unrelated to the data being presented. Sometimes I'll find disagreements in values leading to different interpretations of the same data. Sometimes I'll find that I learn something.

It does take discipline to do this, though: with many sources I have to be on high alert for anything that seems like it's trying to invoke my emotions to get me to agree with the article.

In the case of this article, I went and read their source material (the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety report on this: https://clkrep.lacity.org/onlinedocs/2019/19-0603_rpt_dbs_%2... ), and found that the article fairly reasonably summarized the report. The last two paragraphs of the article are where most of their opinions are interjected, and I view their claims of the motivation of the backers with some skepticism. The claims about safety seem in line with what I could glean from the report, but I'm not very sure I understand the nuances of analyzing fire statistics across diverse neighborhoods.

Not even switching to a Mac. Get them a iPad with Touch ID. They will gradually switch from using a computer to their iPad. Touch ID is still generally 10x better for non-tech people. A single button to return to a clean state / Home Screen. ( Unfortunately this button is disappearing )

If they want to print something, get them to email it to themselves. No need for complicated file transfer or AirDrop. They understand email. And they will use email.

The absolute worst thing is WiFi. I still wish we have simple consumer solution that actually provide 99% coverage 99.99999% of the time. And that is why some of my family members prefer to use unlimited 4G / 5G. It just works. In certain ( ASUS ) WiFi router, there is an option to allow routine restart. Having it restart once every week during sleeping hours could reduce router crashed / not working issues to zero.

> I really enjoy the feeling of driving it

I am curious how much Tesla fans are impressed by Tesla-specific qualities of their vehicles vs, say, the exhilaration of driving an electric car. For many, Tesla was the first EV they have ever driven. I can understand thinking that your car is superior after associating it with the EV experience. For what it's worth, I don't own a Tesla, but I do drive an EV and it is the best vehicle I've ever driven.

You'd be surprised.

No, there are many places where you want to think twice about responding to violence with violence, because if your violent response is deemed exaggerated, you end up being the one worse off on day of judgement.

Technically I suppose you could get away with killing if it can be shown that your life was in immediate danger, and not in the "old hobo waves a knife so cop shoots him in the back from thirty feet away" way like in the US. In practice that never happens, because it is very difficult to show that the only thing you could've done was to kill. Even if someone had you at gunpoint. Someone waving a rock or a knife? Lol no, unless you emerged out of a struggle with stab wounds or broken bones.

It doesn't make insulin. Not a replacement for the pancreas yet. Insulin is a fantastically complicated molecule and costly to life to make. Cells in the pancreas have to be doubly sensitive to glucose. They have to make insulin from sensing glucose, and they are more easily damaged by glucose.

> Tesla is priced for future expectations.

What future expectations? As it is priced right now, the only way that makes sense is if Tesla starts selling more than _every other automotive manufacturer, combined_.

That's insane, and not going to happen.

"So short the stock", people say.

And then Tesla fans act like shorting TSLA is something akin to a capital crime and at the very least should be forbidden by the exchanges or the SEC, from the reactions that come from it.
The problem is I don’t want to move (great house, low mortgage, great area, etc.). There really aren’t any other major companies within 300 miles and all the smaller companies in the area don’t pay anywhere close to what my company pays.
Around the time the word 'blog' was being coined, I did terrible things to the guestbook CGI script from Matt's Script Archive in order to make it easy for a small staff of writers to update a news site I had started about Nine Inch Nails. I later migrated to a Perl Script called 'News Publisher' by someone named Grant Williams - it's basically a static site generator that runs on Perl and flatfiles. Around 2008, I ported the whole thing to C# & SQL Server, but in the process, refactored and cleaned up the Perl code, and figured - why bother with the big underlying shift? So it's still what powers that NIN website two decades later.

My current daily driver is a Model 3. I think Teslas are a great gateway to the world of electric vehicles because they get people interested in the concept and introduce them to how driving an EV can be. I don't plan on my next daily driver being a Tesla due to Tesla's QC and fit & finish issues, but I am absolutely looking at other EVs like the BMW i4, Polestar 2, and even the Toyota bZ4X/Subaru Solterra.

A lot of that "innovation" is just "move fast and break things". Tesla has pushed out and then reverted how many FSD betas in response to issues? It's not surprising that so many people are disconcerted by the concept of being an unwilling beta tester for Tesla (by virtue of sharing the road), a company that clearly has disturbingly little acceptance testing for the software they're releasing.

I've worked a bit with woodpanels insulated with styrofoam embedded within concrete. They weren't nearly as fireproof as brick or full reinforced concrete but compared reasonably well with just woodframe or steel (which was the worst of the lot).

As you already observed, it's all about the insulation, and even though the foam itself may melt the concrete will survive the initial roasting and that just leaves you with a bunch of gaps in the concrete which makes it insulate much better than solid concrete would.

You'd have to set up a proper test to determine the amount of insulation you'd have to add (I'd absolutely hate to have to drywall a surface like this). One way to do it would be to stucco the inside. But depending on the thickness of the walls you might not need much to achieve the amount of structural integrity required by the fire code, these are not going to be multi level buildings anyway.

Edit: I did some more digging and found this image on their website:

http://www.i-domehouse.com/product_type/img/01-04_2.jpg

So it appears that the foam core is just foam, nothing else, so there is no interior structure other than the styrofoam. This won't pass building code or fire code for structural integrity anywhere that I've ever built something. I can see them using these for emergency shelters but not for permanent occupation without more internal structure. They do show a resort built with these, I wonder where it is and what kind of building code they operate under. The cement backing is just a thin layer applied to the outside of the panels, so indeed, when they get too hot the interior will melt and then you're just looking at two thin bits of cement without any kind of reinforcement. It would likely collapse immediately if they did not take any precautions.

Fire safety is not something I could find any information on in their pages, they do mention excellent earthquake resistance, which I totally believe.
Well, sometimes joyfully written code can be less than joyful for those who have to read & maintain it…

Tesla's current market cap only makes sense if they're producing more vehicles than every other US manufacturer, combined. That's a little more than "but not by much".

OP is complaining that Amazon is marking the refund as a return when it is not a return. "incase there are sellers that are having to pay return fees"

That's the potential fraud part, which makes sense to me.

Also, OP is complaining that they are cancelling the shipment in the first place instead of rerouting. That part isn't fraud but it's bad customer service.

Also, OP was possibly lied to about item damage, which is really bad customer service.

Their heat pumps and giga press are first of their kinds. They were things the old players said would never work and are now trying to adopt.

I have been programming in C++ for decades and I am humbled every time I read Scott Meyers "Effective Modern C++". I still can't figure out when an r-value is different than a universal reference.

The quote isn't an argument against IQ. Here is a 3 minute video of Kay elaborating the idea:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI9rPNxFG5Y

You'll notice he presupposes that IQ exists, is real, and is important. He just also notes that its effect will be dwarfed by having access to paradigm-changing ideas and knowledge.

"If you can get a supreme genius to invent calculus, those of us with normal IQs can learn it"
Ok, what's the catch?

We see new ideas for home building all the time, dome shaped, 3D printed, using shipping containers, etc... and yet, everyone in the world still builds vaguely box shaped buildings with wood, bricks or concrete.

All these new things tend to have issues with at least one of condensation, insulation, overall cost, convenience, weatherproofing, local availability of materials, durability, safety, etc...

Dome houses are far from a new idea, neither are plastic houses, I have never seen them except as a novelty or experiment. I don't know what's wrong with them, but if there were good, we would probably see more of them.

Modern construction techniques are well optimized and adapted to the local environment, using several layers, with materials serving a specific function like structural integrity, insulation or weatherproofing, with good value. If you want to sound fancy, you can call it composite materials.
No-one is advocating for "massive populations", so you're pretty much throwing shade on a straw man. Anyone suggesting that Australia, for example, could handle more people, is still thinking in terms of economic, social, and environmental stability.

On the contrary, though, advocating for population reduction is inherently classist, since this requires government management, and ruling classes will inevitably protect their own ranks first.

The result of such modes of thinking is not academic. The UK's prime minister, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, is not the hapless buffoon he plays on camera, and his COVID management policy disproportionately kills the poor by a factor of 3.7[1].

Inequity of survival is the actual consequence of any managed population reduction.

Oh wow yeah, I really agree. GP - I think this is a great idea, and from your description here on HN it's really clear how to use it, and I thought parent commenter must be overstating it, but no it really looks like I might be supposed to enter where I want to shop, rather than what for.

It would help to preload some products (popular/trending at the moment perhaps?) I think or show some categories. So that it looks more like Amazon or any single shop, but the search gives you results from many.

I've wondered before why Shopify doesn't do this fwiw. Why isn't there a central shop entrypoint for all Shopify shops? Bit of crossover with Etsy perhaps, but probably the more serious end and beyond.

doors refusing to open, or more scary, opening while driving.

I guess that's what happens when you have an entirely "software defined" car --- software bugs, because they're more common than hardware ones, can cause far more problems. Do Teslas have the two-stage latch that I thought was a mandatory safety feature?

You're both sort of right. There was something that was released under the name COM+, which was a bunch of services on top of DCOM. But what became the .NET CLR was also internally called COM+ (or part of COM+?) under development.

see https://wiki.c2.com/?ComPlus

I think what happened might have been similar to what ended up happening with the .NET name later - there was a name associated with an umbrella strategy, a bunch of different technical components were under development associated with that strategy, but only some of them were released before the strategy changed again, while others were repurposed/repositioned to be part of the new strategy.

This is a common pattern with Microsoft product/feature naming and I think it's one of the reasons everyone including Microsoft developer relations people routinely comment that Microsoft "not good at naming things". It's continuing now with UWP and WinRT, where those names are actually used to refer to a bunch of different things that were once part of a now-defunct Windows strategy - some of these things are now deprecated, while others (like the WinRT core language interop model) are still the basis of most new Windows API development, but this is very confusing to developers because of their association with
the abandoned overall UWP strategy

The grid in rural areas suck, in general. The reliability is terrible and there may not be enough capacity for everyone to start charging their vehicles when they get home from work. Rural people also tend to drive many more miles (and sometimes much more energy intensive miles), and range can be a serious challenge. If they’re hauling, range is significantly diminished, and it’s not like you can throw a few extra batteries in the bed for when you’re out of juice. With a diesel, you can throw a 100gallon transfer tank in the bed for under $1000 and make it clear across the lower 48 without stopping (though that’s not normally what they’re for).

All that said, electric has promise. Longer vehicle lifetime and less maintenance is a huge plus.
