> I look at it and I think it's not as much as I could have done with my time and talents and energies.

Is it a problem if it is?

I see people I know writing books, getting great jobs, etc. It doesn’t make me think I’m capable of those things. Long ago I realized that I’m mediocre, unexceptional, and that if all I do is have an OK job and scroll through the internet after work until I die, it is what it is.
Honestly, though, I'd rather they have a revenue stream than not. Premium connectivity doesn't add any kind of necessary features; it's all just sort of nice to have.

The main experience is free and the premium connectivity fee helps pay for that infrastructure.

I had premium connectivity for a few months and didn't miss it one bit when it expired. navigation still works great and THIS really is a killer feature for Teslas as it makes roadtripping a breeze, since it's well-connected to the Supercharger network's status. The non-premium connectivity also helps facilitate payment for the Supercharger network, so it's not just a pure burden for Tesla.

I'm pretty satisfied with the service fee structure for Tesla. I'd rather have reasonable fees for things that make sense (like Premium connectivity, which has to pay royalties to geospatial mapping companies, artists, and a non-trivial data usage, or Supercharger which uses electricity and requires the chargers to be maintained by technicians) and a long-term sustainable financial situation than free, but crappy and declining, service. And certainly am glad it's not requiring me to pay for super simple things that should be free.

(So the AT&T fee for non-premium connectivity can partially be paid for by Supercharger fees since that's what it helps facilitate. ...supercharging ALSO being reasonably priced, less than equivalent gasoline for a comparable ICE car)
I don't know if that's completely fair. I agree that San Francisco fails as a "true progressive utopia", but it feels like this is maybe a kind of "no true Scotsman". Labelling things is hard, but as far as "progressive utopias" can and do manifest themselves in the United States, San Francisco is probably as close as it gets.
Toronto is very similar. Outside of the very dense core, but still very much in Toronto proper, you can get lost in forests and ravines and have to be on the lookout for coyote!

Everyone always deludes oneself. Even cynics and realists end up having their own versions of the reality. Also, risk, success, and financial success are completely irrelevant to each other, thus cynical attitude really has nothing to do with it.

Aren't there entire abandoned cities, and yet-to-be-filled suburb developments in the world? Are autonomous driving companies not using those, stuffed full of "stunt" drivers who are employed to do nothing but simulate regular city traffic?
The tipping point that made me unsubscribe from Bernie's mailing list was when he used billionaires spending their money on launch vehicle R&D to make a personal attack:

"Jeff Bezos has so much money that he says the only way he could possibly spend it all is on space travel. Space travel. Have you ever heard of such a thing? It is absolutely absurd."

As someone who has heard of such a thing, it seems absurd and shortsighted to criticize someone for doing work that helps bring us closer to being a multiplanetary species. Even though I'm sure there's an ego aspect, I think it's still laudable that Bezos is blowing his fortune on space travel instead of buying yachts full of cocaine.

I don't think the anti-space rhetoric is unique to Bernie either. Representative John Culberson was a huge proponent of exploring the moons of Saturn and Jupiter. He's played a pivotal role in funding the Europa Clipper mission. His opponent ran attack ads criticizing him for funding space exploration. Her ad said that she'd focus on spending more money on local pork projects instead of hunting for extraterrestrial life.

You buy a NFT at the ground floor. You know it's worthless, but you also know about hype. You go on Twitter, tell your friends about NFTs, shout about them from the rooftops. The price goes up, you sell before the reality distortion field collapses.

I didn't mean to say it was wrong to have expectations.

I should have elaborated I guess, but tried to keep it short.

I have high expectations for people and things that are important and close to me, and low expectations for things not as important to me or out of my control.

It doesn't mean I don't care about some of those other things at all. It's just that I only have a limited amount of mental and emotional energy to spend, and I try to spend it wisely.

Edit: hmm, maybe I'm sort of a cynic if I have low expectations. But I don't really think of myself that way. I try to be optimistic and focus on things I can do and not dwell on what I can't.
This is a little exaggerated. Most papers have to be somewhat readable to be accepted into journals and notable conferences. The fact that the layman cannot understand an advanced biology paper is nothing new. I'd wager the scientific paper "golden age" the author cites as having such readable papers were not very readable for the general public of the time. It's just we are taught those things in elementary school and so can see the concepts in those older papers much better than the people of the time can.

Can you explain what you mean with the German milk market? You can't buy fresh milk anymore?
Sure, but it's for Tesla stuff (often for stuff consumed on the app itself, so where else would they put it?) and it's not intrusive. You're right that it fits the standard definition, but this isn't the kind of annoying internet ads for 3rd party stuff that people associate with app ads.

I ate an apple. My favorite fruit is apple. I have an apple in my backpack. The teacher has an apple on her desk. I saw an Apple. I picked up an Apple. I threw the Apple away. I mean the Apple fruit.

Hehe, the autocorrect was smart enough to understand some places where it shouldn’t capitalize the word “Apple”, but it mistakingly capitalized the word for a lot of sentences as well. In all of the sentences in the paragraph above I wanted the lowercase variant. I am typing this on an Apple iPhone.

A single ad now on a network connected device is no guarantee that it will remain that way. Especially as it becomes "optimized" for revenue from all possible sources.

It is unfortunate that the rest of this stuff is so infested that a single ad (for now) seems reasonable.

One can see the many positives in life while also pointing out the hopeless state of affairs we've created.

Everyone deals with grief differently. There's no shame in being a nothing-doer, a wailer, or a destructive rebuilder. There is room for all options. I think that if you look, you will find plenty of people who are attempting to build and do, if that's what you prefer to see. You might even be able to contribute, if that is your wish.

> Entirely sustainable colony on its own have never been achiewed before.

First, we don't need to have entirely sustainable colony initially. We can send serious amounts of supplies and rotate crews for a long time - ISS, while being vastly simpler, works for two decades.

Second, colonization of islands and whole continents was exactly that - entirely sustainable colonies, at least eventually.

Unless you own ycombinator you are not in HN either by that strange logic.

The same for computer games, which is what Quora is/was to many people.

It kinda does - all the isometric drop shadows and whatnot. It's a lot cleaner (none of the weird beveled stuff) but all the sharp edged UI from that era look pretty much the same to me.

I think the OP (and some other people saying the same thing) are tired of all the criticism coming through the internet. Being unable to specifically name the aggressive audience, those people are just called cynics or pessimists, clearly based on their behaviors. However, to my eyes, it's just a whole bunch trolls, thus it's just an internet noise. I don't think there's anything we can do with it...

If that's the pitch to your ego, it'd quickly rebut : "then why are you going through all the rejections with the associated pain which makes me suffer so bad?"

> Worst thing in my life was when i came off as desperate

Do you think those who try and win the World Cup or the Super Bowl or even a get a loan or VC investment perceive themselves in the same way?

The above goals are not unlike a healthy dating life. As a rule of thumb if it only happens with dating, then it's in your head and you have to find a way to justify constant failures in order to keep swinging for the fences and not demoralize yourself with thoughts such as "coming off as despearate".

Cam Newton would not define himself as coming off as desperate for trying to win the Super Bowl, neither would Lionel Messi in his World Cup quest, Djokovic for the grand slam , you name it...dating isn't different, except of course the Lombardi Trophy can't publicly humiliate you with insults in the middle of the club or at the bar.

But the few men who can practice transient objectification won't be hearing insults either as they have the capability of failing fast, blocking insults out , keep moving and keep swinging for the fences
What would that accomplish? The goal is for these cars to self-drive in locations where people live, and that does include mapping those locations over many drives. Autonomous vehicles still have a good safety record, and California's willingness to suspend a permit when nobody was injured does signal to me that they'll take it very seriously when a company's safety record falters.
I believe that's very much related. The more of the nice wrappers you provide, the more you have to decide if someone needs them all or are you providing them on demand. With .net core doing more splitting than framework and with Java going through a decade of jigsaw, I think we collectively decided we don't want to include everything upfront.

We don't even require the internet for building/development. In .net land you require internet to get the dependency you're using the first time. If you want to get them all and distribute/install before you start development, you can totally do that. It's just not the default behaviour.
populations are naturally in slight decline on their own

Yeah, by maybe 10-20% generation over generation. If your target population is 5% of today, and your strategy is to use the natural population decline of Western countries, you aren't getting to those levels for a good 15-25 generations. 400-700 years or so.
No, but my guess is Toyota is hoping that they will for this because it’s more of a core feature
Thinking everything (even the most) is distributed in a normal distribution is extremely optimistic.
The current state of self driving cars can't handle basic, well behaved, standard traffic.

There's no way it's ready for the sort of adversarial stuff you'd get hiring a bunch of people to drive around simulating traffic for a car. I guarantee it's a great way to find out how your car is at dealing with being cut off, at people running stop signs, etc - and there's certainly value in doing that.

Just, not while you still can't avoid hitting stationary objects along the edge of the road.
I catch your drift, but (not previous poster) I disagree.

I think it's wonderful that we have an outside resource for these things that:

* is not in a position of power (like community leaders and elders)

* is not compromised by pressures of friendship dynamics

* is bound to confidentiality and rules of ethical conduct.

People in positions of power and friends will still try and help, but the nature of the relationship makes it more difficult. Often, in the past, clergy would also be in the role of helping and were pseudo-professionalized... but again, this service was generally hardly "free" and the religious perspective had its own confounds.
Tribalism in action my friend. That’s okay, there’s two of us and one of him.

You really under estimate how much externalized risks some people are willing to accept. If people can save millions by risking others lives then many will do so. This is why we have regulations, such as this permit process which is basically the government saying "your technology needs further testing".

San Francisco is at least partially the "Utopia" you get when you pave your path with good intentions. Bluest or close to Bluest city in a solidly Blue state. I think the author is being tongue-in-cheek.
Mocking the mentally ill/unstable is distasteful behaviour, IMO. So is using their web presence to score karma points. HN is better when it doesn’t traffic in this sort of thing.

What Edison knew about being a genius? He was a money guy. The actual genius there was Tesla.
Anther explanation could be that many startups try to give out the vibe of "just look at how much investor cash we can burn, come join in on the fun!", and are very open about that. I can understand why you wouldn't want to join such a company, even though that is exactly what many others are looking for.

It doesn't work like that. It's not graded on a percentage scale, it's pass/fail.

"Knowingly" and "willfully" have legally significant meanings with their own standards of the mental state that qualifies. It is then up to the court to determine whether or not your actions have met those conditions.

Would be curious to read the authors thoughts on terrorism or immigration to see how they align with his thoughts on covid.
It really isn't, and yet the gruelling, brutal apprenticeship described in the article all happened before this moment. This was his 16th (!) appearance on the Tonight Show and seemingly the one that broke him into celebrity status; at least the article implies that. The earlier ones were probably even worse; I seem to recall watching some that were terrible.

Then something like 2 or 3 years later, he's the genius-level Steve Martin. The only thing in the video that feels like genius Steve is the physicality of the speedy bit at the end. The writing isn't that good, but his execution is impeccable. You can see his combination of wildness and precision. It's easy to see how it took many thousands of performances, plus incredible talent, to get to that level of control over his instrument.

He describes this wonderfully in the OP:

"The act tightened. It became more physical. It was true I couldn't sing or dance, but singing funny and dancing funny were another matter."

"The new physicality brought an unexpected element into the act: precision. My routines wove the verbal with the physical, and I found pleasure trying to bring them in line. Each spoken idea had to be physically expressed as well. My teenage attempt at a magician's grace was being transformed into an awkward comic grace. I felt as though every part of me was working. Some nights it seemed that it wasn't the line that got the laugh, but the tip of my finger. I tried to make voice and posture as crucial as jokes and gags."
Auto-correct seems plausible for some if not most cases.
> it lets you get liquid medicines into the baby, like cough syrup

I realize this was just a casual example, but kids under two generally shouldn't be given any cough or cold meds (there are no over-the-counter cough meds for kids <2 sold in the US).

Definitely still useful for other meds though.
