There's no particular incentive for the changes made after the sale to improve functionality, particularly if the nominal owner of the machine can't detect them. If your wash efficiency is better this month than last month, wouldn't you like to know what change caused that? How about if it's worse? What if it accidentally breaks your dishwasher? Or the new, more efficient settings no longer get your dishes fully clean?

I don't think there's a terribly strong incentive for Miele to actively break their customers' deployed machines, since those customers might buy a Bosch next time, but there isn't a terribly strong incentive for them to improve them either.

There is a strong incentive for Miele to find ways to sell their customers' personal information, for example to insurance companies, collection agencies, or police forces, and this is functionality that can be added later in a firmware update.

Better to leave update functionality under the control of the people who are most directly affected by it: the users.
Again, my question was, how do you expect to start a fruitful conversation with someone if your opening salvo is to try to offend them. Do you expect you will change anyone's mind? It does not matter if you are right if you can not illuminate the people around you.
>is that it's a tax on "rich people"

please, rich people don't even notice the cost of these pieces of equipment. the ones that might feel the pinch are the ones punch above their weight class to give of the look the are better off than they are. not much different from classes of cars that look like you make money, but every time you take them to the dealership, minimum $800.

if that's a tax on rich people, then they aren't very rich.
I’ve been to non-Tesla charging stations with three different port types (regular charging, then CCS and Chademo for high speed). So I wouldn’t blame Tesla entirely for that.

Drones are a bit more effective nowadays. Far less cost and danger associated with the entire operation. It's usually about outcomes not adventure.
I'm not a frequent user of superchargers. So far I have had one experience where I had to wait about 25 minutes before a stall became available (a Tesla-only supercharger with quite a lot of capacity too). It is unusual enough that it doesn't damage my ownership experience... petrol stations have queues too when they're busy.
I agree. Personal activism is obviously what it was and it's sad that we can't say as mutch without being down-voted.

It would be much better if the gay people defending this would do so for the right reasons and not simply because they are 'rooting for the team.'
... and the market proved them right by virtue of people actually buying the things.

What people say they want and what they actually do in the store are two completely different things. They'll say they want the basic, easy to use model that just does what it says. When in the store, they see all these products and complex feature lists and the nice sales person up sells them the convoluted thing that they never needed. Works for phones. Works for TVs. Works for Cameras. Works for cars.

A smart dish washer has a slight premium over a dumb one. This might not be valuable for everyone but there is a rather large category of people that can be easily talked into paying that premium. They'll buy features just based on a notion of getting more value for their money even if they arguably will never use those features.

People are just easy to manipulate into spending more than they should. I used to work at Nokia when they still made phones and for a long term they created endless variations of the same 3 basic software platforms. One in particular, S40, was used for dozens of different phone models per calendar year. These were largely the same phones with features turned off/on, slightly different form factors, and different software and hardware versions.

This BTW was not Symbian (a common misunderstanding) but a feature phone platform that started out in the mid nineties. The first model to market was the flip phone in the Matrix. Symbian also started around that time but was a completely different OS.

The main point here is: most customers had no clue what they were buying. They bought a "Nokia". And when they were in the store they wanted the best Nokia they could afford. Which was basically a process of selecting based on shininess (literally with the Vertu phones, which were actually unimpressive feature wise) and check-marks in some huge feature matrix (more is better).
From the Oxford English dictionary:

> conscientious | ˌkɒnʃɪˈɛnʃəs |
adjective

> 1 wishing to do one's work or duty well and thoroughly: a conscientious man, he took his duties very seriously.

> 2 relating to a person's conscience: the individual is denied even the opportunity to break the law on conscientious grounds.

At the time, critics of the model were claiming the model was buggy because multiple runs would produce different results. My comment above explains why that is not evidence for the model being buggy.

Report 9 talks about parameters being modeled as probability distributions, i.e. its a stochastic model. I doubt they would draw conclusions from a single run, as the code is drawing a single sample from a probability distribution. And, if you look at the paper describing the original model (cited in report 9), they do test the model with multiple runs. On top of that they perform sensitivity analyses to check erroneous assumptions aren't driving the model.

I have spent time in academia, but I'm not an academic, and don't feel any obligation to fly the flag for academia.

Regarding the politics, contrast how the people who forensically examined Ferguson's papers were so ready to accept the competing (and clearly incorrect https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKh6kJ-RSMI) results from Sunetra Gupta's group.

Fair point about academic code being messy. It's a big issue, but the incentives are not there at the moment to write quality code. I assume you're a programmer - if you wanted to be the change you want to see, you could join an academic group, reduce your salary by 3x-4x, and be in a place where what you do is not a priority.
True, but there are also backlashes, especially when something is forced.

And too many remote work enthusiast assume that the steady state for this is majority remote work. I don't buy it. I'd be surprised if we go over 25%, maaaaybe 40% best case scenario.
I'm very comfortable with both, and there are definitely still use cases where I'll reach for Python.

E.g., Jax "just works" for a wide variety of numerical problems, handles the automatic differentiation and operator fusion and whatnot and figures out how to efficiently shove it onto whichever coprocessor(s) I want to target.

This model works well if you're a single person traveling alone and have relatively few things you need to transport with you. In other words, the current "hail a taxi" model.

It becomes less workable when you need to travel as a family with kids, car seats, strollers, other equipment. Having a dedicated vehicle that belongs to you and is always at the place where you left it is immensely useful in these circumstances.
I think Lichess is the best, and I have read that it is only maintained by one person.
yes, you're right.

I was just working on gitlab, so I would say the status page reflected the issue about 5 minutes later
Well, good thing that it was the former, right? Which is what is being described in this article: editing entertainment programs for today's broadcast, not censoring the archive copy and definitely not touching newscasts.
I cautiously support this. I'm glad they're monitoring congestion closely :)
It's interesting that different pieces of gitlab.com appear to be running on a hodge-podge of GCP, DO, AWS and AZ... I wonder why that would be the case?
I'm pretty sure that was a sarcastic reference to that well-known dropbox comment.

> You may assume that "I" do not have sufficient education and training to interpret state-of-art publications, and/or assume that "I" would end up trusting dubious alternative theories, but you do not know.

If you're that smart, you should be smart enough to 1) understand the pressures they're under, 2) be empathetic, and 3) seek out information that may not be adapted for mass communication.

Check with who? The public? You personally? Throughout this whole pandemic, precisely zero "science-y" authorities have had conversations with me on this, so I'm speaking exclusively about mass communications.
My dishwasher from the 1980s had a delay start feature and it's as dumb as a bump on a log that allows for this.

Most people drive to work alone. If everyone is using a rideshare app lots of those people will be using the carpool feature. If every car has 4 people in it you only need a quarter of the cars.

Probably because Tesla isn't into retail point of sale and would rather reuse existing app based infrastructure.
One way to deal with the bullwhip effect is to build robust futures markets around the underlying components. This improves the market two ways. 1) It allows both suppliers and demanders to hedge their exposure in the futures market, which gives them more confidence to plan the rest of their business without uncertainty. 2) It enables professional speculators to engage in price discovery and telegraph credible signals to the rest of the market about the long-term trajectory of supply and demand.
If you already have the dishwasher loaded with the dishes before you leave for work, why not just run it then?
Of course the beauty of a dishwasher that needs firmware updates is that, like my phone, the vendor can simply stop providing them in three years and force me to buy a new dishwasher to prevent my house from getting pwned.
Awesome, thank you! Godspeed!

Ionity chargers (a majority of fast chargers in Europe) are made by a consortium of European car manufacturers, and they strongly nudge you to use their subscriptions (either sold directly or trough the manufacturers).

I mean, essentially what's happening here is that Tesla is exploring becoming the replacement of a Gas Station.

The benefit of not waiting by being a Tesla customer is a pretty high benefit, but could you imagine that same benefit with ICE vehicles? A gas station that you can't fuel at unless you have a specific brand of car?

This change was and is likely inevitable.
They wouldn't even if they could, so the question is meaningless.
"Prove" FTL impossible? No. however, based on everything we know today, superluminal communication will remain impossible, and if it does become possible, will raise all sorts of interesting implications.
There is a lot of potential variation between their tests and my use.

* Norway doesn't have speed limits which go anywhere near 160kph. I was on the Autobahn for most of my trip. How fast were they driving? 50-80kph appears to be a lot more efficient than 160kph.

* Did they drive to maximise efficiency of power or time? I have a heavy foot accelerating.

* Were they using the heater liberally? We were. I'm told this uses a lot of power, especially on models which don't have a heat pump.

* Was brake regen high or low?

For the record, I'm not arguing that the Model 3 can achieve better efficiency than I achieved. I was simply explaining that in my case, it was poor.
My read of the article gave me very different impression. No archives were actually censored. Entertainment programs were edited to fit the zeitgeist as has been done with theater plays for centuries and with TV for decades. If anything, today it is easier to access unaltered archives than ever. This hand-wringing is cheapening the word censorship and making real censorship more difficult to notice in the noise.
Most of the time there is: Do not connect it to the internet.
It took (by my measure) 13 minutes for a full outage to be represented on the status page.

I was under the impression that gitlab use gitlab.com for their work. Surely someone would have noticed within seconds that it was down?

I think OWS had some autonomy outside of the crazy day to day bloviating.

The initial Pfizer environmental requirements were difficult to meet, and the military through the national guard were a big part of delivery.

Outside of those logistics everything was an evil shitshow.
How would that work? Tesla would need to install card readers at every supercharger stall?
Mom? Is that you?
And do not forget the most important flag:

/?
It's a weird move by Tesla. I haven't considered any other EV brand because of Tesla's superior charging network.
Depends on the size of your household a bit. If it runs every second day, it should not be a problem. If you save dishes for a week or two, the additional water from the intensive program really helps to get rid of dried out dirt.
> Why should it be necessary to install software in order to fuel a vehicle? What benefit exists for the consumer?

As far as gas pumps and chargers, less chance of the interface being vandalized? In Tesla's case, I would imagine it is more an easy adaptation to current infrastructure without major changes to the chargers themselves.
Jesus, that's appalling.
So in the end you have one card for all chargers... except Tesla's. In Europe most charging infrastructure can be accessed through most subscriptions, even those from competitors.
If the UI does not make clear the actions you are allowed to perform, it isn't letting you do something.

This is a shortsighted move by Google. While I understand wanting to charge businesses using G Suite, many of us are individuals wanting to provide family-domain email addresses and nothing more.

if phone integration was the reason for it all couldn't it be done cheaper and easier over bluetooth? i think the only reason for inet connected dishwasher is stats gathering to help craft a more effective sales campaign for more dishwashers.
> A modern dishwasher that does auto-dispensing will be particularly more complex.

Show me the evidence that a "complex" auto-dispenser gets dishes cleaner than a mere pre-wash + main wash dispenser.

The only argument I could see is that people who use tablets exclusively aren't currently able to use the pre-wash, thus giving them a substandard wash. But then you have to ask-- if the detergent manufacturers have already successfully marketed a tablet of detergent that doesn't conform to the design of the dishwasher and thus degrades the wash quality, what makes you think a firmware update from the manufacturer couldn't, say, improve the energy efficiency while degrading the overall washing quality?
It depends on what pieces you are looking for and what style. There does not seem to be much of a middle price point for furniture. Either it’s ikea like or it’s high end at 4-5k a piece. The stuff in the middle is really lackluster and more like overpriced ikea stuff.
Electric cars use regenerative braking, so actual brake usage is negligible.

And they take up the same amount of space as comparable ICE vehicles (those that are able to go point to point), if not less.

Emphasis mine. In Rust, "cancellation" happens at well defined "await points".

Pfizer had multiple manufacturing processes in multiple parts of the world. The EU plants definitely did worse than the US plants. That's probably not due to any government program, but the US based manufacture didn't have to shutdown and restart or waste, I think it was a month.

That said, the primary reason OWS worked at all is they parallelized anything they could. In this case, they paid Pfizer $2 billion to start producing a vaccine before they knew if it would work or be FDA approved, although there was good reason to believe it would.

It wasn't brilliant. It was a good idea. Worst cast we waste $2 billion. Best case we end a pandemic 6 months early.

Putting more money at risk for faster results is reasonable in emergencies. Outside emergencies we have a process for a reason - to reduce waste and fraud.
I think it's because if you're a Tesla owner, it's hard to be against this but it's really hard to be for it when you know that with superchargers in some locations/routes being at insane capacity that this will only make things worse. So if you own a Tesla and you're concerned you'll be shouted down. If you were previously complaining then now you don't have as much to complain about so you just don't post.

I'm really curious to see how Tesla handles this. Will there be a surcharge or will it be more expensive for non-Tesla EVs? Will you be able to get priority in some fashion? Will Tesla, if it's truly an energy company and not an automaker begin to slowly not make as many cars? I mean if I can get a Model Y version of a Mercedes for $5k less and use all of Tesla's infrastructure ya know maybe that's an attractive option? ETC.

As an investor though I love it because my thesis is Tesla is just a slow-moving all-encompassing energy conglomerate that makes cars and this is furthering that thesis.
That's why I'm saying in "cities and surroundings". You can absolutely build great public transportation infrastructure in rural areas.

For example, in Switzerland public transportation is mostly public, and you can go to every nook and corner of the country reliably. As a stark contrast, in Ireland, a lot of the "public" transport is privatized and there transport options suck in rural areas.

Now, I don't want to make this about private vs. public (even though I absolutely think public transport should be public), but just to show that it's just a matter of how you invest money and set incentives to build this infrastructure.
Sounds reasonable. But we have to be fair. We should start referring to Google as "American data gatherers" and Meta as "American efforts to improve lives by showing more relevant ads to people"/s. Don't pretend that they don't both have deep links in American politics.
When do you think that wasn't the case?

Self serve gas pumps solved this >60 years ago. No advantage (except for Tesla's) to collect more data.
We still abuse them HEAVILY.

My boyfriend got a whole stock of different antibiotics for his acne (that isn't even that bad). Women mention an itch in their private parts to doctors and, you guessed it, immediately get prescribed, often random, antibiotics.

I had a (not yet, but moving towards "life threatening") abscess. In the phase where we were still seeing if it could heal out by draining without antibiotics, no culture was done. When it quickly got worse, I got prescribed a set of three distinct antibiotics at once. That lead to me developing persistent gram negative folliculitis on the beard that another doctor wanted to treat with Ciprofloxacin, which is known to cause permanent tendon, cartilage, eye damage or death in a significant amount of patients. At my urging I got prescribed a different one. Which didn't help. I got rid of my folliculitis myself with an extreme regime of topical salicylic acid, tee trea oil and BPO.

Doctors pretty much roll the dice on which antibiotics they prescribe.

And all the food and goods you need will be delivered to you via helicopter?

We need the roads for trucking, if nothing else. But ambulances and fire trucks can be pretty useful too.
1.5 extra hours would be my expectation as well.
If we consider a long trip for vacation 3 times a year, the 4.5hrs invested into charging is offset by less day-to-day charging stops with an EV (if you can charge at home), the reduced costs of electricity vs gas and the reduced costs of maintenance.

I would optimize the car choice for the 90% use of daily commute instead of optimizing for the 3-times-a-year vacation trips.
I think the main issue would be tying under antitrust law, although that probably would only apply under the current DoJ approach if they sold the gas below cost.
They should make a Chademo adapter. It would take some doing since it's a bit more than a simple dongle, but there are a lot of cars out there that have fewer fast charge options. I have a Leaf and would buy this and get a Tesla account in a heartbeat if they offered this.
