> Tesla, the stock, is currently priced as if it will never face competition.

You're not in the know, I take it.

> The fact is that the market will soon be flooded with excellent electric cars from Toyota, Mercedes, BMW and more.

Haha - let's see:

Toyota "aims to achieve global sales of 3.5 million battery EVs per year by 2030" [1].

Mercedes plans to sell >20% battery EVs (BEVs) by 2030. That's 400K vehicles a year [2].

BMW plans to deliver ~2 million BEVs by 2025 [3].

Tesla delivered short of 1 million cars in 2021. It delivered 100% more cars compared to 2020 during a global chip shortage. It expects to, at minimum, increase production and deliveries by 50% in 2022, ONLY from existing Fremont and Giga Shanghai. It has two brand new Giga factories in Austen and Berlin that have just started production and will ramp up this year.

Even at conservative 50% year over year production increase, by 2025, Tesla will be producing equal number of BEVs to all the above manufacturers's "plans" of 2025 to 2030s combined. Yes my friend, for all practical purposes for the next decade, Tesla is not going to face competition in vehicle production, even completely ignoring Tesla's profit margins.

Wait there's more, much more:

Fast charging network: when time comes to purchase a non-Tesla EV with their poor range, you'll think twice. Not to mention that percentage of actually working non-Tesla fast charger stations is significantly lower than Tesla's.

Tesla insurance: upfront cost of the car is one among many factors why people choose one over others. When you find out you can pay peanuts for insurance by adjusting your driving habits (for the better), Teslas become much more affordable all of a sudden.

There's of course the whole autonomy thing which will further drive down the total cost of ownership by multiple factors, but I suspect you may be allergic to this topic, so Google it to find out more.

TL;DR Tesla will have serious competition soon provided you live in an alternate universe where pineapples are pink, taste like bubblegum and pigs fly to work, etc.

N95 implies it's a respirator, not a medicinal mask or face cloth. Respirators have different outline.
I think we do have a pre-programmed death. Almost all creatures die when they get older so in order to look for evolutionary pressures we have to look across a long time period and far back. For one - if organisms wouldn't die evolution would not happen. Or at least the non-dying ones would stay behind and be left living in environments they are no longer suited for. For ancient creatures food and resources might have been scarce and so it was advantageous for non-evolving old members to die-off sooner.

Also, whatever we think about these epigenetic clocks, there are few things to come to terms with: 1) they work across pretty much all individuals (and people with progeria do exhibit older epigenetic age [1]) 2) they work across pretty much all tissues. I don't see how this could be explained through "damage over time". The way I see it damage should be random and not lead to something so predictable that we could use it to guess a persons chronological age with 2.5 year accuracy.

No they don’t. Physical stores pay volume rates to the manufacturers. They own the inventory and resell it at a markup or a loss. The app stores do something totally different. They allow “manufacturers” to list the item directly to the consumer and charge 30% in money transmission (legal term) fees. They are basically offering the same service (and licenses) as Western Union (or stripe connect), just on a larger scale and more integrated.

Whether they are actually legally set up that way (or not) I don’t know. I did go down this rabbit hole 10-15 years ago to do something similar with a lawyer.

What could be interesting is if some states/countries have limits on the fees a money transmitter can charge and an app company sued for them operating illegally.
As a LIR you can request network address space tied to your organization. To my knowledge there are almost no cloud hosting providers that support "bring your own IP space". Vultr.com seems

The whole story is basically “how the USA gave China its space and ICBM program.” I assume “worked out” meant for the Chinese, because it really did.
"cancel culture" is a dumb euphemism for "consequences for your actions." If you use your soapbox to cause harm to others, people are free do decide how to respond to you and vote with their IP and money.

A Scheme in Indian English does not include the “evil” connotations. So it’s more like an initiative or project.

There are many such idiosyncrasies that make more sense if you accept that it’s a different dialect (rather than assuming they’re using American/UK English incorrectly).
That's sadly true. Not Just Bikes and their String Towns initiative is really eye-opening. A bit off-topic but I do wonder if covid and the current state of the economy will accelerate the debt crisis of small cities ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfQUOHlAocY ) and force a downsizing to a more reasonable infrastructure.

I listened to JRE until mid-last year and I'm surprised how many people sanitize his views on Covid/vaccines.

He thinks that any "young" person (20s and below) should be hesitant on taking the vaccine.

He believes that taking the vaccine is more likely to cause adverse health effects than getting Covid for younger people.

He's convinced that alternate treatments like monoclonal antibodies and ivermectin are a better alternative to the vaccine.

He believes that masks are emasculating and make people look "stupid".

Any form of lockdown is government overreach.

Most of these claims are dubious if not outright false, and these aren't just occasional opinions thrown out during his 3+ hour long conversations, he makes it a point to bring these topics up for a large portion of his interviews. That's ignoring the fact that he brings on guests who have fringe opinions about Covid/vaccination but rarely (if ever since early 2020) interviews experts who are pro-vaccine.
I'm wondering if it was just "vestigial" from whatever boards they were using. I imagine a pinball machine base overlaps a fair amount with it's coin mechanisms.
If you don’t have no way to charge an EV on your own, I would recommend against purchasing one.

Fast charging stations are unreliable and expensive, and with all the new EVs out there, harder to find open spots in general.
The people who currently live there have chosen where they live based on their budget. They likely cannot afford the 5x in taxes, so the practical result is that infrastructure would be left to crumble. This is what is currently happening with a lot of post-war infrastructure in the US right now.
Indeed, in that context your comment makes good sense.

What helps in those cases: to have a good idea of how long you think something should take and then to verify that it indeed is within an order of magnitude of that first estimate. If it is much slower you are probably in trouble, if it is much faster than you will have to check if you are really doing all the work that you should be doing.

Colin Wright (also on HN) wrote: "You can't make computers faster, but you can make them do less work". The corollary is that if your program is faster than expected that may be because it is doing less work!
The other poster mentioned Vietnam, I would expect cities there to be quite dense with townhouses or a tiny "garden" that's more like the smallest gap between houses that you can get away with while not breaking the construction code.

@throwawayin16 your account is shadowbanned, so I can't reply directly.

I get the feeling that the page is at a "roughly good enough" phase that the largest segment of people can find it and get a little interested (or at least I hope that's the case!) The fine tuning is always a pain.

The main page is supposed to be a little markety, and then for the technically minded there's the spec and the design doc.

I've played around with what gets emphasized first. It used to be the dual format aspect, but now since switching to the security aspect I've gotten more traction.

It's always a struggle striking the right balance between information and text density. I'll probably end up playing around for awhile yet...
Studying latin in the way it's currently taught in schools does help with the SAT, supposedly (I got a good score!)

That said, most schools have dropped Latin in favor of Spanish, French, or Italian for precisely the reason you state, especially in high school.

Do you find it rubbish because you don’t want to believe it’s true? Or because there’s holes in the logic?

You rejecting superdeterminism, deciding that your fate is up to you, and making positive decisions to improve your life, is great. Do that.

It may be though, that those positive decisions and deciding your fate is up to you, etc, was already printed on the film. Or if instead you just throw your feet up on the recliner and decide to do nothing, then that would have already been printed on the film as well.

If in a trillion years the universe ends and there’s a complete story to tell about everything that happened, and some external observer were to watch that story, they’d see you making whatever decision you made and your life turning out in a particular way. But they wouldn’t expect that if they rewound the film that things would somehow turn out differently.

Because it's a different relationship model? With a regular product the thing the consumer interacts with never changes. With software the user is able to make it do wildly different things, stuff neither the manufacturer (Samsung, HTC, etc) nor the software vendor (Google) could envision, including running exploits in the software to do things the user didn't even intent.
I guess the question for many is: is a stock market crash coming? And in this case what is the best defensive strategy?

That is not a fair comparison. A better one would be versus Apple store or MS' one.

And yes, I think MS should be responsible for apps they are selling. Aswell as Apple or Google.

Hiding behind adds and pretending it is no a proper sale and that they are mediators or whatever is BS.

When I did it (a long time ago) we worked for seven hours or so and went home tired but feeling like we actually accomplished a full day of work. Peer pressure was more about keeping to the normal schedule and taking breaks than putting in more hours.

But the startup died due to not paying enough attention to business issues. Programming productivity isn't everything.

Then I went to Google and my productivity got a lot worse, for many reasons but waiting on code reviews was one. To some extent I could compensate by making unrelated changes in parallel, or even working on a stack of patches and fixing up later patches when earlier ones needed to change. It felt like it was fighting a system that wanted to slow me down, though.
The official USA racial classification guidelines says that middle east should be classified as white. That is why.
> When primary votes are tallied, the two candidates with the most approval overall would move on to the general election.

I think Approval Voting is a big improvement over plurality voting, but I definitely think there can be cases where voters have to worry about whether they "approve" of a candidate enough to potentially help them win.

For example, imagine a candidate who had 60% of the first-preference vote, but half of those voters weren't aware of that lead, so they hedged their bets by voting for another candidate who they really didn't like, but who was preferable to another (more strongly disliked) candidate who had 40% of the first-preference votes.

If 35 of the 40% also grudgingly approved the "compromise" candidate, then the supporters of the first candidate (who would have won a solid majority) would be giving an apparent landslide of 65% of the vote to that barely acceptable candidate, even though, if they had been more optimistic, they could have had the candidate they wanted.

"How come volunteer fire departments exist?" is a rethorical quesiton. Whether volunteer firefighters have other jobs is beside the point. Clearly, useful tasks can be executed without a work context.

The reason you need to pay firefighters is because society is work-centric.
I grew up in a hypocritical society where on paper you are free to choose your own beliefs, but in reality education is dominated by ancient catholic values. As a schoolkid you feel like little more than a prisoner. I wonder how much it contributes to shaping kids personalities, and how much it contributes to the area's absurdly low birthrate.
I also thought about that, and thought it might be the case. It just amused me that it worked both ways (if you take the К as an alternative to λ) and I was curious if it was anywhere else in the book. And in an English language comic about math I could see POW (or similar) being used in both ways, as both the conventional sound sense and in a joking math sense (in some context). Since this is a comic about computers, the lambda calculus interpretation (even as a throwaway joke that would go over the reader's head) seemed plausible.

So this is typically what BGP is for, but this is definitely not something that is typically offered to residential customers, nor even most business AFAIK. This is what you would typically get with a Direct Internet Access (DIA) connection. This is an uncontended connection where to setup a BGP peering with your provider. You then give the provider some documentation proving you own a range of addresses, and they agree to accept those routes from you via the BGP connection. They then advertise that to their upstream providers, and thus the routes propagate to the entire internet.

There are a couple of gotchas though. Firstly, there is generally a minimum prefix size of routes that will be accepted into the global routing table. For IPv4 I think it is a /24, and for IPv6 I think it is a /32. You can get a /32 from regional IP registry (for free?) but you will probably need to become a member which – last time I checked - costs 3-4 figures a year. You can use a private-AS number though, as you'll only have one upstream provider.

The other gotcha is cost. Depending where you are in the world, a DIA connection will cost in the very rough region of (EUR/USD/GBP) 1/megabit/month, although it becomes much cheaper when going from 1gb to 10gb.

Now maybe there is some cool facility that some nice ISPs offer to bypass all this, if so then please let me know. I'm personally skeptical it would be worth their while for the 0.001% of residential customers that would want this service though.

Sometimes it's obscenely complicated because the GNU devs like showing off with even the simplest of programs. My favorite example is GNU yes, a coreutil that's so ludicrously fast[0] that it can cause OOM states in mere seconds if you're not careful where you're redirecting output. Other HN users have compared the GNU version[1] with the BSD one[2], and I think it's a pretty good way to grok the difference in style between the two. In any case, both tools work perfectly fine for pretty much every use case.

Looking at a global level, there doesn't seem to be much variance between the politics of a country and the coronavirus response in that place.

But for the other items on the list. It all depends on what you, and we as people, would consider to be important changes. For example major global events like a war in the middle east was started by the left in the UK, and the right in the US, it could have been swapped around and indeed was swapped around a few times but the policies, the war and damage continued.

Are the changes tribal politics or real politics, is what the article is asking. The author is attacking tribal politics and by extension those invested in cultural war type issues.
This could well be a game changer. What I don't understand from the article: they claim they have just done a trip with that battery and then in the same breath they say they will have a production sample by 2023. How can those be reconciled, if they already have one isn't that sample enough?

Or is this a prototype of sorts? And if so has someone inspected that vehicle to make sure that it isn't a trick? Because if a factor of 2 in battery life works for EVs it works for everything and that would be pretty big news utterly unrelated to Tesla.
