I'm increasingly short on TSLA. Not directly due to the ethical concerns surrounding this, but more importantly: as they fix their supply chain & excellent competition enters the market, the price of their used cars won't be so driven by lack of supply+competition, and confusion about what exactly you're getting when you buy a used Tesla will depress their values. Depressed aftermarket values means more buyers who want a Tesla will buy used, which will hurt new sales.

Its a really scary kind of resonance at their scale. Most companies who sell goods like these recognize that the aftermarket value of their product is a feature of new products; its a factor in the buying matrix. Apple is a great example; tons of people know and factor into the decision to buy their products that they hold value better than the competition; so a higher upfront cost can be worth it. But if Tesla is scraping by and looking to move more and more of their functionality into cloud-connected-feature-flags & subscriptions, they're going to get eaten alive by competition who can just say "our car is the same price but that's built in".

The thing is this isn't a defect. Say my brand new house came with a 40 gallon water tank and it failed (didn't flood, just stopped heating). The home warranty company provided a 45 gallon replacement. Nobody would expect that to be disclosed years down the line.
I’m wondering what the “ransom” aspect was? At first I thought the car owner had driven somewhere suitably far, and then when Tesla detected it, cut their range so they would never make it back to any kind of charging location in time and basically be left stranded?

> I WASTE WAY too much time on my phone and am attracted by the idea of simplifying my digital life. So I found several apps and tutorials designed to make my smartphone ‘dumb,’ but I’ve hesitated to take the plunge. Am I just trying to escape modern life?

No app will make your smartphone dumb.
What makes your smartphone smart is connectivity via WIFI, Bluetooth, NFC, LTE, 5g that can operate to some extent interactively and autonomously.

Buy dumbphone with no WIFI, Bluetooth, NFC, Only SMS and VOICE and put your SIM card in it. Use it for SMS and VOICE.

You can still have smartphone but now it doesn't have SIM, so no LTE or 5G, and turn off WIFI, NFC, Bluetooth, and put it in airplane mode forever. This will dumb it down.

Take your dumbed down smartphone with you only if you need camera and GPS. Like hiking etc..

In this case, the restaurant offered, which is not a mistake, and IANAL, but arguably "hey, we're out of the strip cut, would you like a filet mignon instead at the same price?" sounds close to a verbal contract.

I think "idiot" and "moron" have lost their edge because they've been so ubiquitous for so long they don't mean anything more than, basically, a euphemism for "dumbass".* The other terms you mentioned are just as offensive as the "r-word" in that context IMHO. Same for people who use "autism"/"autist" as a jokey insult. Using terms like that as insults in a public forum is in bad taste and unnecessarily likely to hurt someone's feelings over something over which they have absolutely no control.

*I'm aware these terms used to be more in line with the others, but frankly I'd also question the wisdom of using them in a public forum.

It appeals to me as someone who likes Circle's CI offering but wants to move away from Github.

I tried using Gitlab's CI and was surprised at how limited it was. The Gitlab CI syntax was harder to follow, and my integration tests took 17m to run when they ran in almost 1/3 the time on Circle.

A big part of the problem was that CircleCI lets me use an instance with 8 CPUs / 16 GB RAM with just a config file change[0], whereas every Gitlab instance is 1 CPU / 3.75 GB RAM unless you host your own runners.[1] But if I'm paying a company to manage CI, I don't want to provision my own hardware infrastructure

Most of the expectations are on giving money to some capitalists and hope they come up with viable solutions .

Watching fascism rise in response to these threats suggest the wrong people and authorities are being buffed for a equitable outcome for the majority.

In short, if we keep finding capitalism to fight global climate change, there's no requirement that the solution will maximize the values of democracy. Instead, it may just as well decide democracy is inherently dangerous and find authoritarianism as the preferred solution.

Why? Just look at mask mandates, a fully recognized harm reducer but requires people to recognize both their own health outcomes as they coincide with others.

I'm pretty sure choking is behind most of the "LOL I caught a faker" stories from interviewers. I think it's far more common than people who've somehow been employed multiple places and can "talk the talk" but can't actually handle a for-loop. Most of them are just choking, under a very particular kind of pressure that's pretty much only ever encountered in interviews[0] and certain academic situations.

Like, there's the trope of the kid being called to the blackboard and not being able to solve some trivial problem even though they're not an idiot—and it's based in reality. IDK why we assume that reaction must be rare among adults.

> My perspective is that this simply begs the question, "How does one buy and sell a used Tesla vehicle?"

> And by doing a bit of research, we arrive at the throat of the issue. Tesla is a competing Used Tesla Dealer, this is listed in their 10K as a part of their automotive segment: - https://www.tesla.com/support/ordering-used-tesla

Well, that seems to be the original reason why the older vehicle companies weren't allowed to directly sell, and had to go through dealerships.

But because it is a software company, they break the older rules and the reasons why we had those older rules. And naturally, society memory is measured in days.

This article covers the whole situation... and why we probably should stick with dealerships? https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a15352113/why-do-we-keep-b...

Once you've covered your bases, then you can work on the spirit. The last level is self-actualization. Work in itself is only a means in expressing your existence. Either it funds your lifestyle, and that's what we call a job, or it can bring fulfillment, which we call a vocation.

This is just my mental model for a good life, but I think it's a solid start for building your own.

Ask HN: Good books on collaboration in non-hierarchical settings?
This style of teamwork has always attracted me.

Luckily, I am frequently finding myself in situations where this dynamic applies - at work or otherwise. This has made me flirt with the idea of founding a co-op down the line (maybe in 5-7 years).

Of course, that would be a lot different than just working with friends. I feel it would be great to start exploring this aspect of sociology when I have time.

Here is the criteria:

1. It has to be about working within what they call a 'flat hierarchy'.

2. Doesn't necessarily have to be about worker co-ops. Could be just about how social, collaborative groups are formed and maintained.

3. The more 'guidebook' style it is, the better

4. The more 'general' it is, the better (i.e. Doesn't necessarily have to be about Software Development)

My idea is that I will zero in on specific topics later. However, please don't let that stop you from posting suggestions!
C++

(Sorry. Rust wasn't ready yet when we started.)
In the UK, many modifications are restricted. For example, if I was to replace my halogen car headlights with LED ones, the car would be technically illegal, uninsured and fail inspection (if they notice). Exhausts can't be noisier than factory, which means in practice all aftermarket sports exhausts are illegal.

At some point, I assume modifying drive-by-wire systems will become legally restricted.
Not just one. Typically, today's VR systems substitute inputs for both vision and hearing, which is enough to disconnect most people from what is going on around them. Headphones by themselves or looking at a screen that you can easily look away from aren't remotely the same.
As much as some of y’all want to pretend it is a flex to “not give meta/fb more money” it really isn’t.
It's a bit baffling that the Index is still as expensive as it is, it's three years old and has never gone on sale even once nevermind had a permanent price cut. In a vacuum it's worth what people are willing to pay, but Valve are a software company selling hardware to promote their ecosystem, which they're ceding to the much more affordable Oculus ecosystem by keeping the premium price.

It's still a nice headset but it's showing it's age, the Quest 2 has higher resolution screens and the ability to stream PC VR wirelessly is a killer feature which the Index doesn't support.
Which will actually make ICE cars more favorable for buyers than second hand BEVs with questionable state of battery?

As others have said, true movement and turning is an option in a good number of games. Having tried it myself, I won't do it again. I had a headache that lasted several hours as a result. Honestly, I was surprised how much it affected me, given that I've never had any form of motion sickness before or since. My brain did not like the perception of movement disconnected from sensing that movement.

Now, when omnidirectional treadmills become a thing so I can literally walk / run places in games, I'm onboard.

As long as Facebook owns it, it may as well not be a thing to me. Facebook "saving" VR is a utterly pyrrhic victory. If facebook owns it then it wasn't worth saving.

Tailwind improves design now?
I think Head of Line blocking is a more concrete problem but it seems that it's often encountered when running away from a different one:

If you have different conversations going on between a single client and the server, you can make several connections to do it. You'll pay a little bit more at the start of the conversation of course, so be frugal with this design, and think about ways to 'hide' the delay during bootstrapping. But know that with funky enough network conditions, it's possible for one connection to error out but the other to continue to work.

The problem for me always comes back to information architecture, and the pervasive lack of it, or at least lack of investment in it. If you really have two separate conversations with the server, losing one channel shouldn't make the whole application freak out. But we all know people take the path of least resistance, and soon you have 2.5 conversations on one channel and 1.5 on the other.

The advice here is some of the same advice in more sophisticated treatises on RESTful APIs (it's all distributed computing, it's all the same problem set arranged in different orders). REST calls are generally supposed to be stateless. The client making what looks like a non sequitur call to the backend should Just Work. If you manage that, then having one channel inform the client of the existence of a resource and fetching that resource out of band isn't really coupling of the two channels. That subtlety is lost on some people who defend their actual coupling by pointing out that other people have done it too, when no, they really haven't. And if anything, multiplexing lets them get away with this bad behavior for much longer, allowing the bad patterns to become idiomatic.

> Or. And I know this is radical. But stop selling the 6 core and sell the 8 core for the price of the 6.

But you still get some 6 core parts-- just not enough to meet demand.

In general, suppliers prefer modulating the mix of supply of their products entering the retail chain over endlessly modulating pricing to try and match demand.

> Why are we justifying these corporations taking us for a ride?

Well, one fundamental underlying reason is that deadweight losses fall when you are able to segment markets and adjust pricing for each (price discrimination).

So proximity and culture. I instantly place myself and my family in those cars fleeing Ukraine, I relate easier because it's familiar. My human empathy and compassion is not evil, and your attempts to weaponize it are gross and deny human nature and realities of the human experience.

I also watch more movies in English in settings I am familiar with or better know the context of (Western history versus eastern).

I also wear clothes I am culturally comfortable with. Am I racist for not giving all clothes equal wearing?

Because I had a diversity of ethnic foods around, I am comfortable and enjoy eating them. My family from the midwest who had no exposure mostly don't relate to them. I am not less racist, nor are they more, it's just a proximity and culture thing.

I am very fond of Greek and Roman history, yet have no Greek or Roman ancestry, because I am much more familiar with greek and roman history and culture than say Persian. It's not race, it's proximity and culture. Not that I wouldn't love more Parthian Empire stories.
You're missing out, Quest 2 was one of the best purchases I've made in the last year.

I also don't think VR is good enough to be worth investing $1k+ into a VR headset like Vive. $300 seemed like a very high return on investment for what I got. Not sure about $400 since I already have one but I'd probably still do it.

I also made a fake, empty Facebook account to use the Oculus store, so I don't feel like it's a privacy invasion.
Not just that they are cracking down on their parts as well. I can no longer get brake pads or rotors at OReillys or AutoZone. I was forced to use crappy knock offs for the same price as I couldn't wait on ordered parts.

Went through the same thing with a recent starter replacement. They no longer offer OEM bosch (this was oreilly not sure about AZ) and they no longer sell Bosch OEM even remanufactures.

Again they explained to me this was due to BMW themselves.

I'm going to ride my 328i into the ground, but once its repairs outweigh the value of the car (doing the repairs myself now, had to become my own mechanic to avoid a $1700 bill and 2 week wait for a starter replacement),I am never touching one of their vehicles again.

When in the dealership in Seattle 2 years ago for an oil change and fluid top off/inspection it was a horror show.

They only added about 3 quarts of oil to my car out of the almost 7 needed after a change (light came on immediately as leaving and oil level was - null-). They never did their whatever-point inspection, never did the fluid top off, and left my oil filter cap loose! My 'account manager' was supposed to go over some stuff with me- never saw him. Was told he'd left notes on my file- did not.

While waiting I saw three different people come in with problems with their EV batteries no longer charging. The 1st two were told they'd be covered under warranty. I heard the reps talking amongst themselves about how bad it was getting and whether there would be a recall. 3d person was a lady who was pissed as she'd just had her battery replaced under warranty, it'd happened again and this time they wanted her to pay for a new one. She threatened to sue and they comped everything they could think of for her.

Now with this heated seats fiasco BMW has officially nuked the fridge.

Edit to add- if anyone is interested check out the starter replacement [1], absolutely fucking ridiculous the way cars are now engineered to stop the layman from affecting their own repairs.

Used to be starter replacement was something anyone could do and was all of two to four bolts and a wire and took ten minutes of time. You could even just replace the solenoid half the time for a few bucks.

I've now replaced brakes, rotors, control arms, shocks, struts, starter, window actuators, headlights, radiator, mass airflow sensor, ECM, spark plugs and ignition coils, cleaned the O2 sensors etc. Some of the steps are insane especially the radiator which was 600 just because California ones have a stupid sensor on them that cant be used on an off-brand radiator.

So much blood and sweat because why leave room to work on anything.

Seriously fuck BMW.

You can try breaking those habits for a few months and see how you feel haha. Health is something we easily take for granted when we have it.
