The model Y has the significant advantage of being a modified version of a car that had already been in production for years.

"No idea what they're doing" is probably a bit harsh on my part, but I stand by my opinion that Ford seems to be in a better position moving forward. The F-150 Lightning is a compelling product that went from announcement to consumer driveways in the span of a year. The Cybertruck still has no ship date in sight, and feels like it was designed to appeal to people buying Brodozer's rather than people needing something to do truck stuff. And from what we've seen so far, Ford does not seem to be suffering from the same chronic quality control issues as Tesla.
Taxi companies don't have thousands of software engineers to pay. In fact the entire reason why there are so many taxi companies is because there's no benefit to scale. (same reason there's countless of very small or self-employed trucking businesses).

Transport and driving is a high competition, low margin business, similar to say the restaurant industry. Putting a smartphone app on top of that economy doesn't change that fact. (the only thing that would turn it into an actual high margin technology business is full self-driving, which is why Uber itself once considered this it's 'only path to profitability').

It's biggest issue in my opinion is that addons can't keep up with the release cycles even being them slow ones.

That makes you not to rely much on them because in the long term you couldn't be able to upgrade EmberJS due to your outdated dependencies.

Of course you'll be politely reminded that you can PR an update of those addons but there are some casuistry like the owner not being reachable or not willing to accept your changes.

Apart from that, it's delightful to work with it.

Something I have never understood is why people want to write web-apps in Rust. I love the language, but honestly, a managed language (like js/ruby/go) is always going to be better suited to the world of web-apps.

I feel like this imposes an undue burden on Rust to do everything for everyone which has to break down somewhere
The low cost contributes to the negative externalities of production. If it was less plentiful, arguably we wouldn't have dramatic methane plumes in the southwest due to atmospheric release.
This is what rationalists like to refer to as a strawman. Show me any example of one claiming to eventually be without err or irrationality. The claims are simply that most people have many implicit biases and illogical means, and that there are some ways of bettering your thinking methods.

But that doesn't fit the narrative, now does it?
I interviewed with Amazon last August. They have a cool of period of one year before next interview. However, their recruiters keep sending spam asking if I am interested in position XYZ. When I say yes, they go and check their database and then send me a "not eligible yet" mail.

I emailed Amazon CEO Andy Jesse about this nuisance. He didn't do anything about this. I still get their recruiter spam.
Paid.
They utilized other recent events, including the Marine cooler opting to drop all their tanks (I’ll bet my father was thrilled at that)

But you’re probably right that this is an armchair general making guesstimations. He did have military experience, but not in any capacity that would make him an expert in tank warfare.

FWIW cavalry (as in my analogy) didn’t really die off for a very long time and was still useful in armies for some time, but they were not the symbol and main power of armies that they used to.

Lol. Tesla is really just beta testing in production. When software companies do that we say it’s bad. When Tesla dies this it’s ground breaking innovation.

Exactly. And worse, async in Rust is viral, because any code outside of async doing I/O is not good to use inside of async. And it gets worse: making everything async is not a good option. Effectively, it seems there is no viable answer: you need two of everything.

Go does do concurrency well, but unfortunately it’s only able to do that because of opinionated decisions that a language with Rust’s design goals cannot really make. They also have tradeoffs that I don’t think Rust developers would accept, like making calls into C functions slower. So I feel as though Rust async is at an impasse. It can be made much better, but it feels like the improvements will come at increasing complexity in the language, compiler and ecosystem. Meanwhile, the ideal end state seems like it will still have a lot of annoyances, such as the need to tirelessly duplicate anything that needs I/O for sync and async.

I almost kind of wish Rust would just drop async, as the rest of Rust is much better, having only minor issues that are very much fixable IMO. Instead the ecosystem is accelerating into it, and now it’s hard to avoid for some use cases.

I hope it all works out, because Rust is good and I’ve been advocating for its adoption at work and continually trying to adopt it elsewhere. But the issues with async are very dire, imo. Async rust is cool, but it isn’t what I would consider to be a similar level of robust, thoughtful design.
We're just not interested in that particular thing, but we are disciplined. Riding to place in an alleycat absolutely requires discipline.

That is a valid way to design things, as long as it doesn’t clash with other goals. It’s not clear that this is possible given all of the other constraints involved that Rust is attempting to fit together. Doesn’t mean it’s impossible, but the possibility is an open question.

This is partially because some of it is subjective! For example, the whole idea that “function coloring” is inherently bad is not a given in a language like Rust. Languages that want to reach down into the lower levels often make costs fairly explicit. Async and sync functions are significantly different, and so some may argue that in a Rust context, this is a good thing, not a bad one. It’s the same idea with values vs references: in many languages, the difference is papered over, not shown to the end user. But in Rust, it is, and this does lead to some ceremony if you want to call a function that takes one with an argument that’s the other. But nobody is arguing that Rust should totally remove this distinction (other than the fact that references are themselves values but that’s not really relevant here…) due to some sort of two colored functions. However, some do want this for mutable vs immutable references.

Tl;dr it’s not that simple, in many contexts.
That post wasn’t arguing a position or trying to convince people of something.
Opposite here: I dislike Trader Joe's. I call it "bougie safeway". Trader Joe's is great if you like boxed, prepared food, but it isn't much better for anything else. Their produce is meh and overly wrapped with packaging.

It's weird to see someone writing volumes about re-litigating last years' amateur scientist social media battles.

Many rationalists are driven by contrarianism and are the living embodiments of second-option bias[1] and confirmation bias, so I don't find it weird anymore that they're still relitigating such issues, I just expect things like this from that crowd, now.

They also do not want self checkouts, coupons, apps, etc.
I would add that the popularity of the original machine and the vast library of games built off of each other, and the result is a large community with love and nostalgia for the C64. That in turn perpetuates modern projects, newcomers to the scene, and new generations of community here for their own reasons.

"Retro" exists independently of "nostalgia:" it's a broad cultural category that encompasses fashion, technology, and new reasons to appreciate old things. I would recommend Commodore-adjacent stuff—VICE, TheC64, Ultimate 64 in a new case, MEGA65, refurbished machines with new accessories and adapters—to people with a variety of interests that have never seen an original Commodore.

It used to take a beefy system to emulate the SNES at full speed. Emulator performance has improved, CPU performance has improved, and nowadays, an outdated and low-spec x86 laptop will run BSNES.

You will have problems running BSNES on a Raspberry Pi, though, although I've heard the RPi 4 can do it.
I wish we could remove braces from a lot of the new languages. Having a lot of symbols like {:abc:} or whatever might make parsing convenient, but it doesn't make typing, readability, or searching more convenient. Most search engines will strip out symbols and just look for words.

When I first started with Python I though using white space to show structure was crazy. After using it for 13 years, I don't want to go back to typing what appears to me to be useless braces. Have I ever had a problem due to a misindent? Yeah, a couple of times. I've had that problem with braces too, about the same number of times.

The question isn't who's legally liable. The question is are you doing things more unsafely than you need to be. You don't have to be legally at fault to be doing something that's unsafe for other drivers to deal with. Sudden breaking at highway speeds, especially for no actual reason, even if the person behind you is following at a safe distance, is rolling the dice that every car behind you for a while is driving at full attention.

"I require every other human driver to be driving correctly so that my AI-car may drive unsafely" seems like a bad bet. I'd also imagine that, if as a human, I just slammed on my breaks for no reason on the highway, I would be found to be at fault for an accident assuming the car behind me wasn't directly tailgating me.

Not defending Tesla here, but this is exactly how I think of other drivers on the road, whether I'm driving, cycling or walking.
Would you still recommend Tesla after these experiences?
Gas stove usage may cause a few months shorter lifespan, but it really is low in my list of health related concerns.

Eating a wholesome non-processed diet and staying active are going to be much more impactful on my health. Worrying about micro optimizations like gas stoves just seems like small potatoes when people are eating processed junk food and are horribly out of shape.
I love Trader Joe's, but checkout there just takes too long. I want to grab products and leave, and not to spend 15-30 minutes on line.
They really did ruin extensions on Android and have shown zero interest in fixing it in the past couple years.

Iceraven helps a bit, but there's virtually no incentive for someone to develop an extension for Fenix now. The pool of potential users would be small enough for Firefox itself, but its vastly smaller for Iceraven. I've been using Kiwi most of the time as it can use just about every extension available for desktop Chromium.
This seems like a very simplistic analysis, I'd expect more from the economist. They compare huge chains like Walmart, Aldi, and Whole Foods to Europe's Tesco. Yet we have lots of regional options in our small city and very rarely go to these big chains. Kind of disappointed I created an account just to read this tbh.
Dark stores are physical stores only used for online shopping. I remember hearing about "dark kitchens" which are restaurants doing deliveries, but not accessible/visible from the outside.
Most of the places I've lived have vented stove air outdoors. I've had the kind you're referring to as well, but outdoor venting hasn't been uncommon in my experience. Maybe it's a regional thing; I'm on the east coast FWIW.
TinySeed is the closest thing you’ll find to this idea. About 10 years ago I wrote the phrase “YC for bootstrappers” in a notebook. That was the initial vision, and what ultimately became TinySeed, the first startup accelerator for bootstrappers.

Most of the cost seems likely to come from the costs of producing a very small run of a large presumably-injection-molded case and a custom keyboard.

Can't imagine the machine will ever have much of a community with its combination of high price, relatively low nostalgia, and a bulky/unsexy design, but it's cool that they actually managed to finish and ship the product.

The problem is, Go uses a concurrency model (stackful coroutines/fibers) that was all the rage in the 90s (to the point where the Windows APIs have vestigial support for it) and then got abandoned by everyone except them for reasons that are still applicable.

Small grocery warehouses used by Instant delivery companies. From this post[1] by Tanay J

A. Dark Stores / Fulfillment Centers
Instant-Delivery Apps operate their own dark stores / fulfillment centers, typically one per neighborhood they operate in. Since these are not meant for consumers, space can be used more efficiently and typically the cost to operate these (at scale) as a percent of revenue is lower than rent space for grocery stores.

He needs them to be the same, so his worldview can stay intact.
COVID has entered a post-rationalist phase of discussion. Nobody today is trying to convince another person using a rational unemotional analysis of the presented data. As we've seen more clearly in this crisis than ever before, people weaponize data and arguments and emotions to manipulate the beliefs of other people, and it takes an inordinate amount to debunk carefully constructed data lies.

I work on a set of principles that I don't particularly need to defend:

1) there is no global conspiracy with a large numbers of members working to create COVID and spread it around, or working to suppress legitimate medical approaches to treatment.

2) the people working in this field, by and large, are smart, but make mistakes, especially in the heat of the pandemic, but over time, as we collect more data across multiple lines of evidence, we'll come to a better understanding of what works well for COVID-infected patients. This took decades with HIV/AIDS and I expect it could take as long with COVID.

3) Armchair internet statisticians are not going to find some details in COVID studies demonstrating some sort of large-scale suppression of ivermectin results. Scientists are not going to run a study that gives unambiguous evidence that ivermectin is not a worthwhile treatment

4) there will continue to be some segment of the internet- a particular type of kook- who continue to insist that the error they found in subsection 9, clause c, is proof that ivermectin is actually a cheap and effective way to treat COVID. Just like we still have HIV/AIDS denialists.
Every molecule of CO2 produced goes into a good that consumers purchase.

I would argue that corporations have zero carbon footprint and consumers have 100% of the carbon footprint.

>[consumers] have no power over how such things are produced.

Consumers have 100% of the power. If they dont purchase a good, it wont be produced. The whole reason Industries dont move away from carbon is because consumers refuse to pay more for it.

For example, carbon free airlines are technically feasible today but Dead on Arrival because no one will pay for the ticket.

Regulations can have an impact, but the only reason they work is because they take the option to buy cheap and dirty products away from Consumers.

Like I said above, cap-and-trade is a simple solution but consumers don't want it because they know prices will get past along. 1 million little Industrial regulations will also pass the costs along, but consumers are more okay with them because they erroneously think the cost won't be passed to them. They have a downside that bad are rarely logical and have unintended and sometimes counterproductive consequences.
Are those the same as ghost kitchens?
I would rather have new products available sooner (as long as the core functionality works reasonably well) instead of waiting for something perfectly polished. The quality issues are annoying, but as customers we have to be realistic. You can't expect too much in a relatively cheap, low-volume device.
Their food is whatever, but their long, slow checkout lines that obstruct other shoppers and generally customer-hostile layout often pushes me to the border of rage. The only thing that keeps me level are those dark chocolate peanut butter cups.
biofuel is carbon-neutral. it might cause some particulate pollution, but if it's minimal enough for use in a restaurant dining area, then the environmental impact is probably negligible.
As a worker there is no way to do well. If there is no rise in wages all of the benefits of automation and efficiency improvements go to other inputs/outputs, if anything starts to raise wages the fed kicks in.

Maybe we have to see where things land between real interest rates, inflation and wages growth by figuring out how to relax all of this cheating over time.

Any job that earns money has an implicit acceptable $ for death risk, because all jobs have a risk of death (proxy measurement of injury using ACC rates in New Zealand).

Your sum risk might be reduced (e.g. your job pays health insurance), but many jobs increase your risk e.g. just driving to work is dangerous.

Of course your primary finite resource is usually time (years of life), and your object function usually relates to quality of life (not $) . . . Win $ for risk of death is a poor metric.
iOS, yes. In mobile games market (which let's be honest, is considerably different segment from "desktop/laptop" gaming).

If M1 Macs didn't support running iOS games, remaining Mac ports of games would overlap heavily with games that also have Linux ports (especially after apple killed off all older 32bit Unity titles)

So, at this point, I'd consider mac gaming (not iOS) to start circling Stadia levels outside of Indie games that swallowed the pain of mac port, with things like Valve SteamDeck causing more interest in gaming on Linux than ever.
I don’t understand, can you elaborate?
I'm rather doubtful about whole self-driving also. At least if there is more than let's say 2 players offering products. That will also be massively capital intensive area with drive to the bottom for lowest possible costs in competing between everyone.
"According to ... the Constitution Act, 1982, the Canadian Constitution consists of the Canada Act 1982 (which includes the Constitution Act, 1982), acts and orders referred to in its schedule (including in particular the Constitution Act, 1867...), and any amendments to these documents."[0]

"The Basic Laws of Sweden (Swedish: Sveriges grundlagar) are the four constitutional laws of the Kingdom of Sweden that regulate the Swedish political system, acting in a similar manner to the constitutions of most countries. ... Together, they constitute a basic framework that stands above other laws and regulation, and also define which agreements are themselves above normal Swedish law."[1]

You're right, though, that sounds a lot like the arrangement that Israel has, and the Wikipedia article for the "Basic Laws of Israel"[2] says (without citation):

"Israel is one of 6 countries (along with Canada, New Zealand, San Marino, Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom) that operates entirely or in part according to an uncodified constitution..."

Probably an unpopular opinion––and I love TJs––but I feel like the quality and type of things you can buy there is akin to a Dollar General. The produce is often covered in plastic and subpar quality. The selection isn't great. Honestly, its greatest perk is the frozen food section and snacks.
I concur. I can't find anything other than all purpose and wheat flour. No bread flour, or anything more obscure like rye, spelt, etc. Similarly, they sell a single sea salt, alongside tons of trendy mixed salts. Want iodized salt? Go find a big grocery store. I do find tons of snacks and TV dinners, which I enjoy. But if I'm stocking up on essentials, I'd rather go to a big store. And yes, I do find obscure flours at big stores, most recently 00 and rye.
