You've never had true depression.

My teeth are rotting out of my head due to poor dental hygiene from years ago. The road back up sometimes begins in a deep hole vertical-ascent, and that can feel daunting, even hopeless at times.

Your comment is interesting and informative but doesn't really answer the question.

Knowing that some data is imperfect, can it still be a useful data point for understanding the world? Is it unreasonable to use ShotSpotter as a tool in your toolbox for understanding the world just because we believe it to be imperfect?
NIPT is not supposed to be used for termination decisions. A positive is meant to be “your baby might have this, test further with amniocentesis”.
Buildings that overlap are often seen as attempt to make an addition without the right permits. They have zero sense of humor about that over here either.

Since the wall of this building is actually under the roof line, they’ll make him tear this down or reroof his house to move it four inches over (although that might take a permit too, since you’re changing the roofline). Tearing it down is cheaper.

He may also be violating setbacks from the edge of the property, but those have been diluted here so frequently in large cities that he might be okay.

You mean the "right" to ban Marjorie Taylor Green for breach of contract? Marjorie Taylor Green breached a written agreement she entered into with Twitter. Provided their terms of service aren't illegal, Twitter certainly should be able to enforce them.
I keep seeing this a Tesla vs. Ford qualitative comparison, so here is a more quantitative comparison:

Ford's 2020 Q4 report [0] indicates a sales rate of ~2M cars / yr. The entire Ford truck brand sold around 1.1 M trucks [0] that year (2020) and 1.2 the year before (2019). Fordauthority.com (who may or may not be authoritative...) says that Ford is/was running slightly worse sales this year than last year [1]. However I don't think Ford has published their numbers for 2021 yet.

Personal Opinion: Given Tesla's ramp of ~70%/yr, is it not absurd to think that Tesla will pass Ford's truck sales numbers within the next year and all of Ford's sales numbers within the next 2-3 years. (This is assuming lack of innovation on Ford's part. If Ford innovates with e-trucks then it will probably take a lot longer for Tesla to catch up)

Nitpick, but the things you listed aren’t maintenance items. That would be like new tires or fluid changes that you’d expect on most any car.

Sounds relatively problem-free though.
> They have promoted open-source software

This is without contributing upstream or even being GPL compliant(they release incomplete source code) for the projects they base their firmware off of(like buildroot). Starlink which also uses buildroot doesn't seem to bother to release any of the GPL source however for buildroot at least.

I sold at 18 k in 2017, that was almost spot on. None of the fundamentals why i sold have changed.

You could have just looked up stablecoin and give me a better trend if you even remotely bothered. Bitcoin is the top search. You can't even see the interest in stablecoin in comparison: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=...

The unrelated coin is one that is created by the countries themselves, there are currently 10 k. Coins, it would be naive to think that a country would adopt an existing coin since it's easy to create.

Just read the news, none of them are adopting an existing one... It's also a minimal effort to look it up, if you bothered.

Companies already implemented and removed it before. Bitpay, circle, coinbase is directly correlated to crypto. The other ones have like a 4 person team on it. It's a neglectible effort for the "what if" case. ( Eg. Stripe had > 4 k. Employees and 4-5 people working on crypto)

Cultivating mushrooms on one's own seems safer.

There are species of edible and safe fungi - like Hericium erinaceus (lion's mane) or Lentinula edodes (shiitake) - which can be grown in the backyard or in-house terrarium. Lion's mane is eaten raw in parts of Asia as it becomes toxic at about 7g of raw mushroom per 1kg of body. It's the only organism known to produce a substance called Erinacine A, which stimulates nerve growth factor synthesis.

There are some other fungi - like Trametes versicolor (turkey tail) or Ganoderma lucidum (raishi) - with medicinal properties also proven by western medicine.

In most parts of the world, above species can be cultivated to be less polluted than store bought dried mushrooms. Fungi absorb heavy metals like crazy.

Do you feel worse after sleeping generally? Two causes I know of this 1) sleep apnea, 2) grinding/clenching/TMJ issues. The second one was a huge problem for me over the past 10+ years, manifesting vaguely as “fatigue” similar to what you describe. I finally found a solution about 1.5 years ago that has allowed me to reclaim about 25% of my waking hours that I was losing to this condition. I’m not 100% where I’d like to be but it’s been a huge game changer. I recommend taking this very seriously and pursuing answers on a weekly basis until you find something that works. And realize that chronic pain can manifest as chronic fatigue.
It's possible to be naive and not have that kind of attitude.

>NoSQL doesn't mean non-relational

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoSQL

A NoSQL (originally referring to "non-SQL" or "non-relational")[1] database provides a mechanism for storage and retrieval of data that is modeled in means other than the tabular relations used in relational databases.
That’s an absolutely terrifying amount.
I like your parent's explanation of why screws are not allowed by code in some places and also saying that yes, screws actually can be used, if you use the right ones, even if they aren't allowed by code in some places.

I really like that because just mentioning code doesn't do any good. Just because code says something doesn't mean that it makes sense. There's tons of omissions in codes or stuff that is unnecessarily restrictive or way not enough to be safe.

Screws are the perfect example. If code forbids screws but you are going to use the proper screws that are (with good reason) allowed in other jurisdictions that has a completely different vibe to it than someone blogging about using dry wall screws to frame a house. One is a safety concern and why inspections are a good thing, while another is a minor case of ignoring code without any concerns and where an inspection would suck (if you were the homeowner doing some work yourself). If they want to use something that is more expensive and let's them do something themselves that they wouldn't be able to do at all if they had to use nails, more power to them! Change code to allow the right type of screws!

Your second part of the reply does the same, it sort of explains why you think it's a bad idea (and I agree that it is for various reasons).

Could you explain why it is not a good idea to overlap roof lines?

We'll see how you fare when they're twelve :)
Two things: (1) No one is tearing anything down as far I am concerned, rather people are working on a new system that is intended to complement, surpass, and eventually perhaps even replace the current one in a distant future. For instance, I do not put my savings in neobanks nor would be able to get a mortgage from them anyway, but they are absolutely fantastic for day-to-day use. Is it really impossible to imagine a similar future with stablecoins and better wallets? (2) Isn't what you describe the curse of "good enough"? For a counterexample, WireGuard exactly did tear the current systems down, started with a blank slate, and replaced them with an entirely new one---but it was far more efficient and far easier for the end user. I wholeheartedly agree with you that Bitcoin is not it, but disagree with you that there is no chance of seeing an actual solution aimed at actually serving the needs of netizens in our lifetime.
Giving up or blocking social media is much less interesting than being self-aware and looking for ways to get your social media dopamine from things that feel genuinely constructive or interesting. I found “Against Waldenponding” (https://studio.ribbonfarm.com/p/against-waldenponding) to be, if not 100% correct and credible, at least a very novel and persuasive argument that you probably owe it to yourself to be on social media more, not less, and its up to you to not be stupid about it.

My personal guidelines (not rules) for Being Online have evolved to something like this:

1. Make things, and talk about the things you make.

2. Contribute ideas that, as far as you can see, would be missing from the world if you specifically didn’t offer them.

3. Spend a lot of time reading other people.

4. Throw points at people you agree with. Upvotes and twitter likes are free. Use dollars, too.

5. If you can’t think of anything to say, go make something tangible worth talking about.

6. Keep your feed weighted towards people who seem to follow these guidelines.

7. Be aware that, absent any truly original ideas, anything you would post with the motive of “being right online” is usually basic and shitty. Filter outbound material with prejudice.
Perhaps you deem this a stupid question? Not sure from your comment. Still, we have to be able to ask stupid questions or we don't learn.

Obviously if you have at most 8/16/32/64 bit types (only making new types because of physical constraints), you'll have way, way fewer breaking changes than if you try to encode bounds extremely tightly and try to update them whenever you 2 instead of 1 somewhere.

In fact most software is designed such that the physical sizes are chosen first, and then the practical bounds follow from that.
It seems like more an issue of desire than ability though right? The existing auto makers were not making any effort so it feels weird to make a comparison.

Not that they’re making an effort they’ve proven they can make electric cars. The only thing they’re missing imo is the ubiquitous supercharger network.
I was homeschooled for most of my schooling. Even in a small midwestern town, there were about 50 families from around the county in a local homeschooling group. Thanks to that, there were extra curricular activities and sports programs. I was in a theater class, chess club, spanish, and a programming course. My friends were in a swimming team and debate club.

For the reading, writing, and arithmetic classes, there are courses designed for homeschoolers in mind. One course was provided by a college that invited homeschooled students to a "high school" graduation ceremony.

The idea that homeschooled kids live under a rock and don't talk to others is false. Some religious nutjob parents might make headlines for doing that, but that is nowhere near the everyday reality of homeschooled kids.
> (Brit's distinguish between "boy" and "buoy" - the latter has the same sound as in "buoyancy")

That didn't clarify much. I would pronounce "buoyancy" as if it began with "boy".
When men have realized that time has upset many fighting faiths ... We've been wrong on things like global warming before, and we're likely going to be wrong again. That the ultimate good desired is better reached by free trade and ideas.

In light of that knowledge that we may be wrong, the best course of action, the safest course of action, is to go ahead and listen to the uncensored ideas of the other side.. even when we disagree that climate change is false. The best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the marketplace of ideas.

Those are the ideas that we can safely act upon. Every year, if not every day, we have to wager our salvation upon some prophecy based on imperfect knowledge. That, at any rate, is the theory of our Constitution. It is an experiment, as all life is an experiment.
> It sounds very strange that the death spike is "over" 3 sigma, which should mean over 3 standard deviations, which is really unbelievable, to me this looks like an artefact of some sort

It's not an artifact, it's incorrect modeling. If they're talking about sigmas, then they're modeling deaths as being normally distributed. But deaths aren't normally distributed, as you can tell by glancing at a graph of deaths over time: there's way more probability mass in the extremes than you would expect from a normal distribution. This sort of thing (modelling something poorly, then getting all surprised when reality violates your model) is depressingly common.

Site claims to be non-profit, but links to a site selling the flag they're advertising. Hmm...

In the FAQ:

"The creator and chief designer, Oskar Pernefeldt, holds the copyrights to the proposed The International Flag of Planet Earth. The reason for this is simple; to protect the integrity of the flag as it is introduced to the public domain. Just as a national flag of any kind is protected by the government agencies behind its creation, we have chosen to keep it this way for the same purpose."

I've been trying to figure out how to make IIR filters for a software modular synth, off and on for years now. (Basically, given parameters like cutoff frequency and dB per octave rolloff, how do I find the filter coefficients? There must be closed-form functions for this buried inside VCV Rack, Audacity, and LMMS somewhere, but the code is hard to follow. I don't know how all the Wikipedia articles and DSP guides manage to skip over this step, the only step I don't understand. Some of them even punt to "Call this Matlab function" or "Use this PHP page that generates C code for you" Bleh!)

I did encounter this book, but it still couldn't help me figure it out. I bookmarked it to try again.
Dealer's know about the sunk-cost fallacy. Very few people are going to walk away from that new truck that they were so enthusiastic about put down $5k to reserve it.

Dealerships are typically a low-margin business, and probably negative margin during the early part of the pandemic. An e-truck is probably going to last 10+ years and rarely go to the dealer service dept. (the high margin part of the business).

So if you ran a dealership, and you knew that the market price for this e-truck was much higher than MSRP, and you aren't going to make anything on the back-end with dealer service, and you've been starving for many months, what would you do? Leave the money on the table? Worry that your customer won't return sometime in the next 3-10 years, long after the sting of being forced to pay market price wears off?
> Why do you insist on this being the baseline

I didn't - that's why I asked - and then qualified my advice with it applies if that's the case.

Obviously this advice isn't going to be appropriate for someone with serious mental-health issues. It's advice for someone who wants to do some exercise and is struggling to get going, not someone facing more complex problems as well.

This is where market competition is a great thing for people who believe in market competition. For people who like the central banking based financial system and think that inflation is a good thing can stay in it, and for people like me having an alternative is great, and it changed my life totally. I understand people who can’t bear the price fluctuations, as I have seen my net worth drop 80-90% 3 times in the last 8 years, and it wasn’t easy on me psychologically. I still use it, as I see a debit based financial system more honest than a credit based system.

Regarding the transaction fees it’s not higher or lower than the current system, but very different. For me it’s actually much lower than my bank fees (sending a wire transfer from Europe to US is usually $20 charge for me, while Bitcoin fees are usually about $0.8, but it’s changing over time depending the usage of the system).
This is simply the result of arguing with a group instead of an individual. Once refuted, the person you were speaking to does not change their mind, at least not publicly. They fade into the crowd like Homer into that hedge and another person steps up to "whatabout" something new. The group will switch around its voting to ensure this. A group cannot admit it was wrong. This functionally happens only by membership in that group dwindling, likely as it gets more argumentative.
We as “citizen of a nation”?

If nations no longer control their money, does it mean they can go bankrupt? They can no longer adjust their money to influence their commercial balance? Would have the EU and the US been able to create stimulus packages? What about adjusting the inflation to the economic growth rate of a country?

The bear case is that Tesla merely becomes the worlds number 1 electric car manufacturer but does not become the worlds only electric car manufacturer.

Right now Tesla's market cap is about 10x that of Ford, on a third to half the revenue (2021 numbers aren't available, I'm estimating based on Q1/2/3).

Tesla was about 2x as profitable as ford in q3 2021, but that varies a lot quarter-to-quarter. It was generally around 10% though.

Instead of car companies, consider a similarly sized company in market cap, Meta. Meta has 85 billion in revenue and a 30% (!) profit margin.

For Tesla to grow into its cap it needs to massively increase both its scale and its profitability. It'd need to more than double its revenue while also doubling its margins. New sources of revenue for tesla are going to be moving downmarket, which makes profit margins hard in a manufacturing business. Tesla has nice cars but it has a lot of competitors with deep sales teams and manufacturing excellence (consider other comments in this thread: Tesla cars have bad fit and finish for how expensive they are and lack a lot of standard features).

Tesla is clearly going to continue to be a big car manufacturer but its current valuation requires that it become staggeringly gigantic.
