How would you treat the same problem if it was security, or some really deep performance-critical vendor-specific database design issue or any other problem that wasn't practical to learn yourself before acting? Design is absolutely no more full of snake oil salesmen than web development, for example, you just intuitively know how to spot shitty cargo cult WordPress 'developers' and not shitty designers.

Look up examples of design proposals for user interfaces. Unless it's critically important, aesthetics won't even be part of the equation at first... Core User Interface design is no more related to decoration than development is. Most UI design proposals deliberately use low fidelity block-outs and wireframes to avoid getting sucked into a useless cul-de-sac about Joe hating Green and Jane hating helvetica.

The process of interface design should involve users directly, have sound reasoning you can interrogate, and work directly towards solving problems. There should be defined user paths or user stories or storyboards that address the problems your users solve with your software, and the easiest, most efficient, must intuitive way for them to do it. Every element should have a reason for being where it is and working like it does for the users who need it to work like that. If it involves a change, that needs to be justifiable.

Have them slap together a quick prototype, even if it's a series of still frames. If you see something that works less efficiently than it did previously, well that user story needs to be amended or a new one created. It's it intuitive? Post it publicly and ask for comment being aware that some will just oppose any change and squash bikeshedding by reminding people of the scope of the proposal. There will likely be multiple rounds of revisions. A core tenet of UI design is acknowledging that pulling a big chunk of design out of your ass without consulting users is an insta fail.

Taste comes into play more with branding and identity, though fundamentally you're still solving problems with interrogatable reasoning... They're just communicating to who should be interested in your software and how they should feel about using it. This is a different design discipline, and while some interface designers have experience in both, don't assume it.

Definitely don't assume someone with a pretty design portfolio can design your interface... Their portfolio should include studies of ways they made software interfaces more effectively solve their users problems.
I asked them to bring me In N Out and they ended up charging me $120. I never used them again.

When I used it, they charged you for every minute your "operator" was busy. Apparently my operator was standing by awaiting a response from the contractor to do the delivery for my burgers, so I was billed for that entire time they were waiting.
Well, '0' would seem to be a hard lower limit. But I expect a floor at least somewhat above that unless even Tesla's assets end up being worth nothing. But that does not seem to be realistic to me. Even so, no matter what price: I'm not buying this stock because all it would do is give Elon tacit support.
I just dig out my lightning port with a toothpick every time I wake up to find my phone didn’t charge. I have no idea how safe that would be with a USB-C port, which is literally the only reason I dread the otherwise obviously-good transition of iPhones to a standard port.
Much of what is described sounds more 2024ish to me. Constellations take time to build
Tesla had a market cap exceeding most of the rest of the auto industry put together not that long ago. The fall of a meme stock is big news.

> Activitypub already exists. Why not just work on that? Why is this needed?

Response:

> There are a lot of differing design decisions.

> Account portability is a major reason why we chose to build a separate protocol. Signed data repositories and DIDs are both unique to ATP and not terribly easy to retrofit into ActivityPub.

> There are smaller things as well: a different viewpoint about how schemas should be handled, a preference for domain usernames over AP’s double-@ email usernames, and the goal of having large scale search and discovery (rather than the hashtag style of discovery that AP favors).

> Meta:

> The AP community has always been somewhat suspicious of Bluesky, for reasons that are understandable. AP’s community is volunteer driven and the users joined to escape Twitter. So, here we come, a startup funded by Twitter, with strong opinions on how the tech should be done. I’ve heard concerns that we’d “embrace, extend, & extinguish.” I’ve heard concerns that we’d force through changes that people don’t want by dint of being a funded company. You can criticize us for going a different direction but I think it’d have been a difficult collaboration if we chose to use AP, especially since we weren’t willing to compromise on some of the decisions above.
I think it's meant for memorization, so ideal for language learning and raw knowledge absorption (like in academic courses)
This sounds to me like a single, global, commercial IMSI catcher that can track international movement of cell phones.. I guess the question is how good their triangulation will be, but I imagine the back-end data market for this will be fairly lucrative for them. And they don't really need any countries permission to _listen_ from space... .. .
Neat idea but somewhat flawed implementation. Is this your work?

Whoever it is, I suggest putting more 'company about' info [you're asking people to trust the service to process their data on your computer] as well as some information about the kind of tech underlying [would be good to see some improvement in the fuzziness around schema labels]

Ok I know it's not in vogue right now but this is actually a good use for the blockchain. Like the database here could just be placed on-chain in a smart contract, and anyone could read it (for free, only writes would cost money) forever, as long as at least one person is operating a node on ethereum. No ongoing hosting or serving costs. Anyone could build an API that did like photo generation or whatever on top of it, and builders could always access the raw data directly.
Worth noting these will be low-orbit satellites like StarLink (possibly even lower), which also gets over the latency problem (Starlink Satellites are at ~550km altitude - on the outer edge of the thermosphere, with a return trip latency of ~45ms; Geostationary satellites are 35,786km altitude, with a return trip latency of ~250ms)
The mechanics are no different from giving your info to a potential landlord for them to do a security check. So in that respect, the system is working exactly as intended.

The difference is, this allows somebody to do a non-consensual credit check on you. Not to mention the whole other raft of problems brought on by the credit reporting industry.
The fuzziness here is because nitrates and nitrites are both used for meat curing, and the way the nitrate works is by being turned into the nitrite by bacterial action during the cure. Any nitrate that remains in the end product may then be turned into nitrite by gut bacteria. So from a food safety perspective they are really interchangeable. Current regulations in the US allow products made with organic nitrates to be labelled as "uncured" even though the end product would contain nitrites.

From what I've seen on youtube / auto magazines, towing with an EV takes a massive hit to its range, way more than a diesel truck. If it's only an occasional thing (e.g. take the boat to the lake on the weekends, now with an extra hour sitting at a charger), then it's probably a good tradeoff. If hauling is your job, it might not be there yet :(
Some brief answers / thoughts:

1) Replacing any software for an airline carries huge risk. They are barely operating ok with the software they have and holding it together with duct tape. Even something you might regard as ancillary, like a baggage handling software system, or flight catering software system, if it goes down, has the potential to disrupt thousands of planes and hundreds of thousands of passengers for days.

It is so significant an issue (to try to change some software, and just one out of many systems that have to talk to each other) that if an airline ever considers doing this, they may actually stop operations for some number of days while they do it rather than risk having operations go wrong. There are some rare examples of airlines doing this to try to change their systems.

2) Related to the above, airline management hates to be embarrassed by something that might work but has the potential to go badly wrong. So they are very conservative when it comes to replacing systems that are working, even if it's painful / much less functional than what they might achieve by a change.

Combine these factors (and many others) and it means that sometimes starting a new airline is simpler than trying to fix an old one...

There are certainly merits to a lottery system. There are also merits to an electoral system. The larger point I'm making is that choosing a leader is perfectly rational, unlike the original comment implied.
It's not exactly "satellite network", it's piggy-backing on an existing SAR reception infrastructure that used to require somewhat expensive dedicated devices.

I just opened 1.5GB binary file and it ate 2.5GB RAM according to Activity Monitor.

I tried to open 20GB single line text file and it started to eat RAM. I killed it at 60GB as I only have 64GB RAM.

So at least modern version does not seem to work well with big files.

Nearly all legal residents of the US are either eligible for Medicaid or covered by insurance. The average out of pocket cost of child birth is under $3,000 for people with insurance and free for people on Medicaid.

Births to illegal immigrants accounts for about 5% of child births in the US. These are not covered by Medicaid, but are covered by some state health systems. To my knowledge, Canada does not extend healthcare to illegal immigrants either. https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/illegal-immigrants-have...
I am in California and I know California wants to sunset gasoline cars, but when I started looking recently, I was just unable to commit to an all electric SUV and settled for hybrid (if it were available), and I think that may be a decent compromise for many. There are regular hybrids and there are plug in hybrids and between them you get a range of options that reduce the charm of going full electric.
I made the switch! Vorta works very well.
There are also efforts to build standards to enable connectivity to multiple competing satellite networks, e.g. DARPA's initiative:

There can be a lot of improvements made to the current experience. Why couldn’t I rebook my cancelled flight through the app? Why couldn’t I be told which baggage claim to reclaim the bags from my cancelled flight? Why did I have to wait two hours to talk to a southwest agent to get a refund? Why did I have to ask for southwest to reimburse me for the damages?

Why couldn’t all of these things be handled easily through the app?

Maybe it won’t prevent my flight from being cancelled, but when they do cancel my flight I’m not left scrambling to figure a plan B so I don’t miss meeting my family for the holidays.

Or people were managing their own risks. I got vaxxed and followed mandates while they were in place, but as soon as my area relaxed things, I went back to life as normal, as did a majority of people. But I knew and interacted with people who didn’t mask and didn’t get vaccinated, and while I disagree with their risk assessment, I didn’t treat them as outcasts or murderers, nor did I advocate for them to be banned from the public sphere. Fortunately, I live somewhere that is more balanced in their approach, and just had mandates and lockdown to curb earlier waves prior to the vaccines. Which suits my risk assessment and most people where I live. The ones who complain tend to be rather politically motivated to the left, but most of them stopped following recommendations after a while.

I think back to the big controversies over athletes like Kyrie Irving and Novak Djokovic, and I never understood how they were a risk warranting that kind of response. That’s where the anti-anti-vaxxers look authoritarian.

True, $0 (more realistically $0.01) is the floor.

> But I expect a floor at least somewhat above that unless even Tesla's assets end up being worth nothing.

That's the thing though, the value of stocks is only tenuously related to the value of anything Tesla (any company, really) actually does, owns, or sells. It's value is solely based on what it can be sold for. And its sale price depends solely upon what someone thinks they can sell it for at a later date.

So, aside from not going away (and buying its own stock), there's not a company can really do that can have a predictably effect on the stock price.

I've seen too many stocks move solely based on the feelings of a few stock analysts, regardless of the company's achievements, to believe otherwise.
When I was in Sweden this summer, I was really surprised by the amount of EVs on the roads, and how 90% of them were not Teslas. Quite the contrast to California, or Hawaii, where it's 90% Tesla, and a small handful of others.

It's not hard to see what competition is going to do to Tesla's marketshare in the US once all those models are introduced here.
It's not "regular" Starlink satellites. They are going to launch new ones that do have a big antenna for this service. It's not as big as BlueWalker 3, and as a result the service is not as good. But it will work for texting and maybe voice calls.
A few watts on a nice quiet channel will go many dozens of km just with old fashioned FM voice on handheld transceivers. Put a good directional antenna on one end and we're talking over a hundred km. As long as you have line of sight. A few hundred km line-of-sight is fairly unremarkable in itself. Iridium handsets are only like 2 W with compact omnidirectional antennas. Doing this with hardware and protocols not designed for it is pretty cool, though.
We keep seeing problems day after day with Tesla’s horrible implementation. It’s actually gotten worse in the past few years.

If L4+ self-driving is coming soon, I would doubt that Tesla is the one that finally nails it.

You want to find a rare employer who is looking for people just like you. Elon's one, Parker another. All you need is a list of your interests and knowlege (which you've already given, really), and maybe a bare excuse to hire you in terms of formal expertise at one thing. An example or two of where you've been able to apply knowlege from one area of interest to another to show you aren't just an aspirational dilettante who can't actually pattern match or invent and you're done.

Most people here don't see your value and think you must just be puffing. Ditto employers. You won't convince them no matter what. You're from Mars as far as they can tell. They're sleepwalking, you're not.

Finding one employers who does know what you're all about is the hard part, not convincing them of the value of polymaths/interdisciplinary peeps. They know.
Agreed on all counts, and I’ll throw a third factor in: how much is based on Musk’s public alignment with Trump and his Qanon-like behaviors, when Tesla’s customers skew liberal and urban?

It’s only anecdata, but I know two recent EV buyers who ruled out Tesla because of Musk’s suddenly in-your-face politics.

S.A. then ? :-)

It's an ongoing battle with real grievances behind it all for sure - and people that hunt and kill to survive, even today, don't pull back on the violence when it arises.

It's rare to scratch an old town Australia and not find covered over 'genocide' like past events, and the rights given in 60s and 70s were very much a double edge sword for many, "now you can vote and we see you as people and not 'native animals' anymore - now fuck off and don't get in our eyeline".

The cure, although not simple, is respect and understanding and recognition of that, from both sides - albeit how hard such positions can be to reach.

My first move in country when I'm staying for any time is to see who the families are and to talk to some and to watch and see people.

That tends to minimise any trouble down the road, but there are few easy answers as yet.

> Pick up a history book and lay your eyes upon the horrors that have been enacted by "good people".

I am a keen student of history, that's part of the reason I seldom leave the house. I know what people are like.

It seems to me that we are recovering from some disaster that deranged us in the prehistoric past. My favorite theory was the Younger Dryas comet impact, but I've gone off that recently. But it doesn't matter. Maybe our hominid past was itself sufficiently traumatic, and the condition we are recovering from is the human condition.

> Under the present brutal and primitive conditions on this planet every person you meet should be regarded as one of the walking wounded. We have never seen a man or woman not slightly deranged by either anxiety or grief. We have never seen a totally sane human being.

~Robert Anton Wilson

The horrors of the past do not justify the horrors of the present, they motivate the ongoing process of becoming a sane and mature sentient species.
That's the reason I'm not in this game. I see no rational approach to trading in Tesla stock, it is bought and sold on sentiment more than on the underlying value.

> Musk’s public alignment with Trump

I'm sorry, what? This claim is laughable. Musk claims he hasn't ever voted for him, and they have publicly fueded frequently.

You can argue his politics have moved right. You can't credibly argue he's a Trump supporter.

I guess to some people these two things are equivalent, but it's simply incorrect, and reveals a certain political naivete in those making such claims.

If you use a remote Borg server over SSH, you can set up your authorized_keys file to enforce append-only mode on the server by defining the command to be run at login, and reject Borg requests by that SSH key which try to purge or remove data.

> The finance media is generally pushing a Tesla narrative based on fear

Tesla stock has been crazy high until recently relative to other automakers. Who is to say that this narrative is truly fear, or simply the absence of a previous hype narrative that inflated the value of the stock? Did anyone truly believe that $TSLA was worth more than the rest of the industry put together?
The huge spike in price was due to the 0% rates. Same thing for Bitcoin and Peloton. Hopefully society goes back to caring about FCF and reality.
You're not sick, or old yet.

Sweden = Europe, Hawaii = USA.

But in neighboring Norway you'd find a ton of Teslas, when before Tesla an American made car would be a very strange sight there (Ford excepted, but not the USA versions of Ford).
Even when there are choices, the price difference between the choices can be absurdly high. You can't call people "cheap" when they choose the cheapest option, and the other options are 2 or 3 times the cost for service that's only slightly better, maybe.
