States already account for this. For example, in Massachusetts, if you purchase a vehicle in a different state, you are subject to a "use-tax" which is equal to the Commonwealth's sales-tax. Otherwise, car dealerships would be non-viable in MA – everyone would take a quick jaunt over to NH to buy their cars.

My parents just said "he works in computers".

My wife still has about the same level of understanding despite more than one long car trip where I explained exactly what I do, she just doesn't understand "cloud".

So she just says "He works in IT".
I agree a lot with that. I see advice from famous writers saying how you need to do your own marketing even if published by famous firms. Go to events, podcasts, interviews.

I created a “Substack for fiction” because I wanted to publish myself without having to beg for attention of a few gatekeepers.

Well, and becuse they don't have a dealership in every city. You can get a ford serviced anywhere and they have a waiting room for you to wait if needed. Even in rural areas, a very small percentage of the country is not going to be close to a dealer.

if your driving a newer car, theyll handle warrenty work, recalls, service packages that your car came with.

Everyone is having parts Problems, it's the scaling that Tesla still needs to do.

Interestingly, labels playing games about releasing albums is an old trick for various old reasons too. https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2010/apr/15/arti... https://www.buzzfeed.com/azafar/what-happens-when-your-favor... for a couple old references

A change in negotiation power seems like a good evolution of the industry for anyone but record industry execs.

But this "record industry is committing suicide" story that the software world likes to read about is even older than the "hollywood is committing suicide" story, since Napster was just music to start with. And yet here we are. Other than the shift in the cut (which is great!), what's going to change? There's still going to be centralization around platforms (TikTok, Spotify, radio) and a need for a partner for things like touring and marketing etc. So will the new boss look that different than the old boss?
The USA doesn't have a widespread problem of discriminating people based on their last names.
Why would a fixed, online price end up being higher on average than what someone paid after haggling at a dealership. If anything, it should be lower because of (1) Reduced overhead, and (2) It is more closer to a free-market due to more transparency.

Yes, there might be outliers where an extremely good haggler paid less, but that would be outweighed by a novice who paid way more, and the average has to be higher because of the higher overhead.
“We don't just release publicly available bands. The transparency continues internally; every employee knows how much everyone is getting paid, including equity.”

Can someone provide a link to these publicly available bands?
That's really sweet.
"would render the country fairly useless till they’re all codified somewhere"

Not really, almost all of the things done by government for the daily management of the country are not related to the constitution and are already codified.

You would need to figure out, agree and codify a mechanism for changing power, but you can arrange it so that you have years to do it and codifying that small part is not that huge of a task; USA had long conventions but that was more because of the need to actually create a country; and many other countries post-revolutions have functioned quite reasonably while codifying the constitutions, because it really doesn't affect the daily things, and you can run on interim rules (in UK's case, continuing as before for a limited time) until it's done.
Thanks Eric.

I'm pretty intimately familiar with the whole industry. I once owned a small (~2k person) club / live music / multiuse venue in San Francisco as well as built a ticketing SaSS for USCF (us cycling federation) sanctioned events.

From the club days, I got subtly screwed by Clear Channel on an event once and it really left a bad taste in my mouth. From the cycling ticket stuff, I got to deal with another type of promoter and that was horrible in a lot of ways too. Both businesses eventually failed from external factors.

I don't envy your sales team at all.
Well I'd say relations between the same/similar races are also getting worse. When you've got white people protesting white people it begs the question that other race relations might deteriorate.

The thing is Tesla is a luxury car for rich people - upper middle class and above. This means you only need a limited number of show rooms - where most rich people live - and rich people are also pretty mobile, so they can come to you. Scaling the same for car with more broad appeal may be hard to manage for the company, and there's no incentive for the third party to do it if they can't sell. Honda sells 4x more cars than Tesla in the US, Toyota - 7-8x. Can this still be managed by showroom-only? I have my doubts.

The state I live in has 1 (one) Tesla shop. For the whole state. Do you think the other car makers would be able to work with one showroom per state?
One commonly said counterpoint is that having independent dealers means you get better warranty service. Here's how it works.

I had a Subaru, and Subaru had a problem for a decade+ that their head gaskets were tissue paper and frequently failed. So I had one free replacement mid-warranty.

I went in just after the warranty expired for a normal service and lo and behold, the head gasket was bad again. The dealer replaced it for free. What happened? They defrauded Subaru.

So sure, there's an advantage. Not only will a dealer happily be aggressive at any warranty repair, they'll even commit fraud doing it.
As a side note, they don’t publish compensations on their job posting: https://jobs.lever.co/GraphCDN/13868118-dc74-409b-b726-51923...
Well. I am from an NIT in India and upper caste groupism is super common there. Of course to an outsider it seems like these are guys from the same high school and same hostel hanging out, but in reality it is mostly upper caste Brahmins in those high schools as well who end up continuing their groupism and favoritism in college and beyond. The same groupism exists even today - decades later. You see the same upper caste brahmins hanging out in the US together still in their close knit groups.
So, in other words, copy Tesla.

I haven't used office in a while, but I remember that once a function wasn't in the "home" ribbon, finding it required searching through the other sections. And the division of those sections was super counterintuitive for me. Whereas I could usually hazard a pretty good guess where something would be in the drop-downs.
If this goes through, and more and more companies do this, I think a lot of immigrants would want to go back to their cheaper home country instead of staying in the USA. I know I want to.

There are many great engineers in 3rd world countries. I wonder what the long term implication of this will be, both for USA and the 3rd world countries.

Your original question was about "personal conversations". I don't think all personal conversations fall into the category of things I wouldn't write down. If I remember that I need to ask my coworker about dietary restrictions for going out together on the weekend while we are talking about our db problems, I won't necessarily switch to Signal for that.
If they provided value then states wouldn't have needed to enshrine their existence into law. I say let them compete with the manufacturer and see if "go to a showroom for a test drive, then click click click, buy, deliver to your home" wins Vs. "Spend an entire day haggling and avoiding all kinds of poor treatment/predatory practices."

People HATE dealerships. They make a very fun purchase a very unfun purchase.
Speaking of Target they’re getting sneaky - the online for pickup or delivery price is often higher than the same item instore.

People who like negotiations generally think they're good at it.

Guess what? The dealer sells multiple cars per day. You don't know enough to be a good negotiator against them.

Same thing as venture capital vs company founders. Founders found a couple of companies which do a couple of rounds each. VCs make way more investments.
In my experience it’s usually the opposite and I have to ask for a price match to the online price.

It is their policy in the contiguous US to price match target.com to Target Store and Target Store to target.com. The policy doesn’t cover Target Store to other Target Store.

1989 checks out with GPL v1. The FSF prior to GPL was a bunch of different licenses.

The idea is at least that the FSF can update a buttload of code to GPL 4, 5, 900, etc if a flaw in GPL is discovered.
Every dealership I’ve ever been to has been like that.

You're right. There is plenty of subject matter for news.

What I think there isn't much of is the above in easily mined form. Serious news consumes resources (reporters, investigators, supporting crew, etc).

What passes for news today (opinion from Twitter) is virtually free and pretty endless so it's the option most go for because the other option costs serious money.

Systems of social class and caste systems aren't the same - but they're definitely related.

Subtle bias against the lower classes is absolutely alive and well in the west. We just don't talk about it, or consciously notice it a lot of the time. People who grew up in poor areas, or who didn't go to good schools just "don't seem like one of us" or fail "culture fit" interviews.
> Looks like a software bootcamp project

Bootcamps are treasure troves of stolen projects. I got into a rabbit hole on this a few weeks ago, and you'll find the same "project" done by several different people at several different bootcamps. There were even some that were verbatim the same despite proudly saying the project was independent.
If you believe in competition then the logical consequence will be that the no haggle MSRP will be much more competitive than the current (well pre-COVID supply chain horror) MSRP with 5% padding built in because everyone likes to haggle and think that they are getting a good deal.
You might like McCartney 321 on Hulu. He basically sits at a sound board with Rick Rubin isolating tracks and talking about how the songs came together.
Why would Ford (or any manufacturer) offer cars on their website for cheaper than MSRP? What is their incentive?

MSRP is a suggested retail price, which is based off the manufacturer's costs + what they believe is a reasonable margin for their vendor (dealership in this case).

Ford cutting out the middle man means they can offer cars at the same exact price (MSRP in this case), but not have all the expenses dealerships have... meaning massive profit for them.

There is literally no incentive for Ford to offer the cars for less money. Plenty of people have eagerly paid $10,000+ over MSRP already - indicating they could even raise prices if they desired.

Look at Carmax as an example. Their entire business is built around the "no haggle" model - and if you know anything about the cars you are looking at, you will not find any good deals there. Everything is overpriced - but they will tell you it's their "rock bottom price" and any defects or problems have already been factored in.

It's just a sales tactic. Plenty of folks walk into a Carmax believing they're getting the best possible price without any of the hassle... just like their commercials tell you.
If there is a corporate media figure who is reporting with integrity on even a single issue, I would be happy to hear any recommendations, and follow them if only to hear them on that issue.

At this point my standard is way below finding people I agree with. My standard is that I have some level of trust that they’re reporting things they believe to be true. Versus the opportunists we have throughout government and media who apparently have no personal beliefs or values and are willing to say or do anything to get ahead and appease the people signing their multimillion dollar checks.
Show HN: Hair – An HTTP client made in Rust
I think they were qualifying their statement to avoid it getting sidetracked, and it still got sidetracked in the other direction!
I mean, there's no world in which my personal tastes wouldn't prefer Rust over Go -- I quite dislike writing Go. But as an engineer it is my responsibility to use the right tool for the job, not pick tools based on my tastes or gut feelings.

There's different kinds of fast. For most kinds of fast that people doing 'web' type things need, a garbage collector and a VM are not going to be the bottleneck. Efficient management of workloads across blocking I/O is going to be where the hard work is.

Now, I've written ad servers and video streamers, and other low latency high throughput things, and yes, I'd probably reach for C++ or Rust there. But some of the jobs I've seen lately posting for Rust, I do question. Even if I'm tempted to apply, because I'd like to get $$ to work in Rust.
Selling online without negotiated price is a big change. That should make the dealerships really uncomfortable in the long run… he's kind of saying "oh the dealerships could rent out Mustangs" but is that actually realistic?
Amazon slams Amy Klobuchar’s Big Tech bill while monopoly critics slam Amazon
The manufacturer can set the invoice price at whatever they want already. Dealerships are only negotiating their piece of the pie, they aren't actually able to alter the core price of the vehicle. The market/competition determines what a manufacturer charges, the dealerships just obfuscate the exact figure.

So I agree with the other commentor, they exist to extract local money, to make a few locals rich, the manufacturer's piece of the pie is whatever they think they can charge either way. If you cut out dealerships you make prices less obscure and force manufacturers to compete more closely with one another, and also save the middleman rent-seeking.
Re: fearless concurrency... Would Rust prevent you in general from writing code that could deadlock, btw?

Looks like you should be able to pass Mutex<A> and Mutex<B> to both threads otherwise what's the point of mutex if there's no way to share data protected by it, so it doesn't look like it prevents you from hitting this scenario.
> affirmative action does nothing but help members of a specific group who are already advantaged.

If you don't know any highly skilled people from disadvantaged backgrounds that benefited from some affirmative action, that says more about you and your environment than the policy. There are definitely problems where affirmative action gets exploited, but it is horribly reductionist to find the entire tool useless because of that.

I don’t think so.

I just bought a car from an Oregon dealership, but I live in the state of Washington, and that’s where the vehicle is registered.

Washington got every cent of sales tax from the sale, and Oregon didn’t get anything.
Well, we've recently seen dealers marking up cars insane prices, so maybe direct sales at MSRP do help keep money local.

EFF: Axon Must Not Arm Drones with Tasers
Nobody born in the United States lacks the right to vote in U.S. elections. I don't see how that's dodging the question; clearly visitors don't have the right to vote, and immigrants have to go through a legal process to obtain citizenship to obtain the right to vote.

To be more specific, my view is that all people born in the West Bank/Gaza/Israel should have the right to vote in Israeli elections, and Palestinians outside Israel should have the same right to emigrate to Israel as New York Jews do. Some will disagree, but that's basically how the American system works, and I think it's a better system.
You don't even need showrooms to give test drives -- there are companies out there which will drop off a car to your house to do a test drive.

I remember the hard math-heavy university courses having homework questions that came down to copying down a solutions from somewhere, and having a score for it was there to make sure you wrote down those solutions over and over again.

1. Service centers. Others comments have talked about this.

2. Trade-ins. Most new car dealers also sell used cars (in fact many make more profit on used cars than with new cars). Because of this they can usually give you much better trade-in valuations than Tesla, which I believe just sends cars to auction. Obviously you could also just sell to CarMax/Carvana/etc. or sometimes sell a car to a dealership without buying a car. But this is an added bit of hassle.

Yes, as of Jun 2018:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Dakota_v._Wayfair,_Inc.

> The big 3 auto makers are all located in Michigan, USA. If they sold a vehicle direct, the sales tax dollars goes to the State of Michigan. Which means all the other states are missing out on significant tax dollars.

Also, this is not how it ever worked. Sales tax was and is never owed to the state the business is operating from. That is why buying online resulted in being able to evade sales taxes for many years, until the above Supreme Court ruling.

I wrote evade above, because the other states were not technically missing out on tax dollars. All states with sales tax have a “use tax”, which is owed to the state for bringing in merchandise that you have paid less tax on than if you were to have bought it in the state (Florida might be the only state without use tax for online purchases).

However, pursuing people for use tax for small items is a costly endeavor so most people get away with it. But a car is easy, since it has to be registered, the state can easily demand the use tax before making it road legal, and they do (for example when you buy from a no sales tax state and then take your car to be registered in another state).
I just bought a new car and it was an awful experience having to go through a dealer. I pray that some time in my lifetime we see direct to consumer car sales.
Then we misunderstood each other. In that case there is no need to change platforms at all -- no one is ever going to penalize you for talking about dietary restrictions or similar topics. If you want to talk about looking for jobs, how much you hate your wife, or what an asshole your boss is, that should obviously not be done in a way that it could ever be traced to you. Failing to do that makes the situation at least half your fault, what did you expect?
