Good riddance to the dealerships.
Maybe. You know the rule: I bet 20% of those dealerships do 80% of the sales. Or at least 80% of Ford's profits.

The overhead of HQ servicing each dealership is (approx) fixed. Some cover that with plenty to spare, others might be barely breakeven (after dealer incentives et al).

That said, even 20% of 3k is still 600 so that does feel like a positive for Ford (even without the dead weight).
I'm most productive when I don't even have a screen up: pen and paper, drawing out ideas.
It seems like an objective increase vs prior generations. Just look at stuff like child anxiety, how much different school is for kids today (more complex), and how many more financial instruments exist today (401k, 403b, IRA, Roth vs std, HSA, FSA, tax complexity, etc.
The 2022 F-150 Lightning preorders filled up very quickly and far exceeded Ford's initial production plans. They will be supply limited for several years. Why spend a bunch of money on advertising when you already have more customers than product?
Every single fleet sale in the country[0]. Tack on the transit electric and you’ve got enough work for the entire factory for years.

Yeah but you'd have to set each one up separately, or buy/return in serial order (unless you have a great deal of capital). This vs. walking into some auto mall with like 5 dealers on the same day.
Async rust isn't pretty.

If you are using async rust, and want to borrow data, use an Arc<T>.

In fact, if you ever use tokio::spawn, you will have to use Arc<T> anyway because it requires 'static lifetime.

Wow, sounds crazy enough to work
Drift velocity has everything to do with the discussion, which is why you brought it up.

I’m familiar with Pauli exclusion principle I’ve worked on real semiconductors.

Your last point is wrong, everything else you said is correct but it remains irrelevant since it does not contradict what was said. Both links are correct.

As you know the net fermi velocity of a fermion is 0. The directional velocity resulting from an electric field on an electron, the fermi velocity which becomes directional due to net flow, is the drift velocity. Which is what we care about.

You can do a simple experiment with NMR to measure the speed of electrons. Indeed they’ve done it and it corresponds to the “wrong calculations”.[1]

Edit: Good resource [2] to help you understand the difference between those two velocities:

> However, the drift velocity of electrons in metals - the speed at which electrons move in applied electric field - is quite slow, on the order of 0.0001 m/s, or .01 cm/s. You can easily outrun an electron drifting in a metal, even if you have been drinking all night and have been personally reduced to a very slow crawl.

> To summarize, electrons are traveling in metals at the Fermi velocity vF, which is very, very fast (106 m/s), but the flux of electrons is the same in all directions. That is, they are going nowhere fast. In an electric field, a very small but directional drift velocity is superimposed on this fast random motion of valence electrons.

I don't think we should base DEI policy decisions on an uncontrolled experiment done 50 years ago on a handful of 10-year-olds.

I think you've also taken the wrong lesson from this: the teacher's point here was that most (all?) forms of identity-based discrimination are learned behaviors. And if a behavior can be learned, it can be unlearned.
I wouldn’t be surprised if over 50% were aware, but whether they’re strongly favorable enough to buy one at the moment is up in the air.

There are a lot of F150s though, and the Lightning’s design is distinct enough that it advertises itself even with a tiny fraction of owners actually converting.

Also, the ridiculous things people are going to try towing with that much torque will win some over as well.

Well, personally, based on Elon Musk's Twitter. Unless he is leaving the company very soon, he's going to take the company down with him.

From a more technical perspective, they're literally the only EV manufacturer selling cars in the US without a CCS connector. (With the minor exception of Nissan, who have already announced that the Leaf will switch from Chademo to CCS.)

And finally, from an "I actually own a Tesla" perspective. I would never buy another one. Not because of the car, which is fine, but because of the service experience. It's awful. It's so bad, I have trouble putting into words how terrible it is. I live in fear that something will go wrong with my Tesla again, because getting it fixed will be yet another nightmare.

> These are extremely unconvincing and rather shallow refutations.

That's not a refutation of my counterarguments at all. It just shows you're frustrated and talked yourself into a corner. We both know you don't audit your OS code, your drivers code, your hardware. All of them can be leaking your secret messages.

> Extremely dismissive, almost to the point of insulting.

Another non-refutation, another frustration, because you have no counterargument.

> It is absolutely not true that they are above criticism

Straw man logical fallacy. I never claimed they were above criticism. Criticize all you want. But expect your arguments disassembled.

> You need this to be able to trust your client, because the point is to decouple some trust from a single entity.

Without auditing your OS, your drivers and your hardware it's pointless. Any of them can leak your messages. Yet you're fine with it.
> daily there are companies posted here that get a critical review, and inevitably a crowd amasses that comes in to provide counterpoints to the negative testimonials, the majority of the time a lot of good on topic and off topic conversations ensue.

Aren't those companies already established? Isn't the topic usually about something related to a new product or scandal? Usually the topic circles around that. A new YC startup job ad likely won't have that.

With that said, any YC startups want to give it a shot? Allow comments and see if the questions helps with their recruitment? Might help craft a better ad.
It's probably something in between though. There's probably a point in between Developing Country Pay and Bay Area Pay where the company can get quality work done for the price they're willing to pay.

Obviously, they're less likely to get Bay Area developers, but I don't really see how that's a problem - there are plenty of good devs elsewhere. Maybe this is a good incentive for Bay Area devs to move somewhere cheaper :)
Exactly. Your apps should work basically as well with no internet access, instead of either failing completely or becoming slow and sluggish.

I've been doing a lot of Rust the last two weeks. Like others have said, if you stay away from async, it's not that bad. But I also have plenty of experience in OCaml and Standard ML and Scala, and also C++. Still, I'm finding my C++ experience is more hindrance than help most times.

Async & Tokio is pure hell if you have any kind of shared mutable state. And also it's tough to fight 20-30 years of programming experience with modeling things in an object-oriented fashion; I find tying state & method into structs and using 'self' on methods in OO fashion just makes things far worse when async is involved.

The thing that really bugs me about Rust and I think it's the core of what really confuses many people is that it upends our normal intuitions about scoping. In other languages we're used to thinking of the scope of things in terms of lexical scope at the block/function/module/class level, and inside that scope, anything is game. You can almost visually see it. Usually.

Rust can work this way, but mostly doesn't by default. It's like you were programming in C++ but instead of normal copies and references, almost every single variable use was a std::move. Profoundly unintuitive. I just used this variable, why can't I use it again?!

I think many of the things in the language -- lifetimes and borrows especially -- should have been modeled with a more explicit syntax instead of hiding inside existing standard language features (type parameterizations and assignment)

The number of miles I put on my car per year has gone down to about 40% or less what I was doing pre-pandemic. I got the standard lease of 12k miles per year for my new car and I'm on track to do about 6k miles this year. Pre-pandemic I think I was doing 14-16k per year.

For this past year I'm driving about what I used to outside of work, so working from home has been the only major change (2020 was different, I barely used my car and had to put fuel stabilizer in it a couple times).

Almost as a rule, in the US at least, large multi-purpose venues sign exclusive contracts with their ticketing provider. That means that all events, including any concerts that come through the building, are ticketed by the venue's chosen ticketing provider.

While we're probably better known as a consumer app for buying tickets, SeatGeek also builds the full set of software you need to run a major venue. Everything from issuing and managing season tickets for the resident pro sports team, to working with promoters in selling tickets to their national tours and hosting the big, high-demand concert on-sales that accompany them.

A big component of our path into the market is that it's often the resident pro sports team that operates the venue and makes the ticketing decision. They tend to be very focused on the fan experience, particularly for season ticket holders, and that's our strong suit.

Because for many people, the division actually doesn't exist.

Artificial divisions between people only exist as long as people pay attention to them. If you're unable to categorize yourself or others it's really going to be quite hard to have tribal opinions about those divisions.

Eventually "support" for equality among division simply reenforces those divisions. The best way to rid yourselves of the remaining small minority of people sticking to hatred around those divisions is to forget about them and the next generation simply won't understand what they're upset about. Forgetting the division is the last step, not every division is in that phase yet, but many are approaching that territory.

> I think this is a kind of ‘broken window’ fallacy - ie unless there is a genuine service being offered then it’s kind of like requiring gardeners to use toe-clippers (ie the local economy are paying extra to hire people to do basically nothing).

I'm not going to argue with you as to whether or not the theory behind it is correct (my feelings on the subject are complicated), but I will point out that there's a major political movement in this country to 'keep it local', that has varying degrees of support in varying levels of government. Regardless of whether or not this desire is correct, whether its organic, or whether its simply manufactured through propaganda - it's present, and it gets acted upon.

> Tesla offers a trade-in program so that appears to be similar in some respects?

Which I address in point #4 - at the point where they start doing a major amount of business in trade-ins, they start looking like... A corporate-owned dealership, as opposed to a franchised one. A lot of the cost savings of 'show room-only' stores go away when you start having to deal with used inventory, scheduling test-drives, fixing cars in your dealership garage, etc.

Obviously, when they were first getting started, their used market was tiny, and none of those business needs/costs were present. But as their cars age/if they ever manage to successfully sell more models/if they somehow manage to capture a major chunk of the overall auto market, their 'stores' will have to offer pretty much every service that a traditional dealership does.
I’ll second this from a privileged position. I own a late model Land Rover, and if I take it down to the dealer to solve something, they treat me very well and put me in a very nice lounge while I wait. It’s a first class experience. I don’t think I’d get as nice attention from a non-luxury dealer though.

If I join any of the BigTech companies (FAANG - Netflix + Microsoft), as a mid level developer, I’m guaranteed to get a $1 million+ four year offer and I don’t have to wait on an exit and pray for a successful exit. I can sell my RSUs at every vesting event. The average startup takes 7 years to exit. I would have also been hypothetically missing out on one of the greatest bull markers and seen my earlier grants more than double over the last five years.

I left out Netflix because even before the stock tanked, it should have never been grouped with the 1 trillion+ BigTech companies.

Just a note, If you want to go sit in a Tesla or test drive one, you can still do that despite a complete lack of dealerships. In my experience, a Tesla is the only showroom experience where there was 0 pressure, and no-one trying to get my info or photocopy my driver license just to see the inside of a car.

A lack of dealerships does not mean that there are no showrooms or test drives. There's nothing stopping Ford, BMW, Mercedes or whoever from putting in a showroom next to a Tesla showroom. In actuality it makes it easier since a showroom doesn't have to have inventory; you can put them in places where a normal car dealership couldn't exist (this is exactly what Tesla is doing). I saw a Genesis showroom in an airport once...

I've written a few interactive fiction pieces, but my most downloaded titles are in the category of retro RPGs in the style of the old 8-bit Ultima games (as found on the C64/128, but playable on modern hardware). It's admittedly a niche. They are Minima https://feneric.itch.io/minima and Anteform https://feneric.itch.io/anteform and are both open source.
The OP made it sound like it's not a big deal to do what he did. My reaction is based on that context.
I am not sure what Tesla does, but I think there's a value in having somebody local which can show me the car, give explanations, provide maintenance services and add-on sales, etc. It doesn't have to be independently owned, in theory, but in practice I think it'd be hard for one company to manage so many local shops at US scale. Some kind of franchise model would work much better. Does it have to be the same as dealership today? Maybe not. But I think there's value in having something like that, even if not exactly what we have now.
