Tesla is a consumer brand.

Musk, as the face of Tesla, chose to align himself against a big chunk of customers and potential customers. At the same time as consumers finally have options for buying an electric car.
Us too. And if the sound was off, we could just turn up the volume with `osascript` commands!
I use to worry about this but in my experience there's too much work and not enough workers worldwide so it's not a big deal especially considering language barriers. Even outsourcing hits physical limits. Having folks in the same or closely related time zones makes a huge difference. Having folks with skin in the game and no Visa issues as well.

I also think opportunities are only going to grow.

Isn't that the case with the flu? It's fairly rare to get serious damage from the flu the first handful of times you get it. Most people don't die from the flu until they've caught it 5+ times (in large part because getting the disease multiple times is correlated with aging)
Yeah, I’ve felt that pain, for sure. The flip side is that if you don’t open a feedback request, don’t expect it to get fixed ever. They can’t fix a bug they aren’t aware of or don’t have steps to reproduce.
Perhaps you should Google "Tesla brand damage" and see a plethora of brand professionals opining that this is exactly what's happening.

“Plant based” Is a popular marketing term for processed food.

The plant based diet folks will tell you that this is basically junk food. They do this looking at what’s in the food and the science of it. They will tell you to eat plants instead of processed food.
Great take. Do you have any thoughts on how to improve on CVSS 3.1? I’m wondering if perhaps the optional “additional details” section, where you can contextually upgrade or downgrade scores, should be a mandatory part of the score.

WuMgr: Windows Update but Not Automatic
So, not long ago I pulled out an old Xbox OG, and started setting up XBMC. I turned on some UPNP stuff, and I locked up. I had to reboot the Xbox. I did the EXACT SAME THING on my PC a month later, had the exact same lockup. I had to task manager kill it. I was not impressed, seeing the same bug 10? software years later?
Yeah, that's absolutely one way to look at it. It could be less, it could be more. However, I still have access to movies I "bought" well over a decade ago on Amazon Unbox, meanwhile every movie I've "rented" on the service I no longer have access to.

I'd say their record overall points to the license offering potentially more value over the short term defined rentals, if you're planning on watching the content again.

Amazon isn't hiding any of this, there's a link to this that's close to the "Buy" button on their site and they mention you're agreeing to it when you check out. It is pretty easy to read and comprehend, it is not exactly fine print.

I think this is true for the majority of working class people, but my feeling, just from talking to others is that when you're in the market for a Tesla you have the money to be a bit more choosy and start to care about stuff. Musk is inexorably linked to Tesla. I know two people who have backed out of a Model Y purchase last month.
You make assumptions that:

A. The parent has a smart phone.

B. The parents smart phone contains cobalt from the Congo.

C. That the parent isn't doing anything to minimise their purchase of new phones by using them longer, only buying second hand etc.

And that's all assuming that this is indeed a value they hold.

And even with all that, there's plenty of stuff wrong with the world. For a multi thousand dollar purchase I'd spend more time thing about the ethical implications than something that is smaller. We all have to pick and choose our battles, I don't think you can damn anyone for not being happy about the system but still engaging with it.

> The 2 existing models are a relic of a low technology past: suburbia with long car commutes to downtown, and dense cities built around facilitating mass daily movement to the office through subway/public transportation

I’ve been traveling Europe this month and visited several towns and cities both large and small. From tiny villages of a few hundred to 4,000,000+ people monsters.

One thing that struck me as vastly different than how USA does things was the mixed zoning. Every city, no matter the size, feels alive. People live there. They don’t sleep in one area then go live in another. Everything happens organically near where the people are and the city/town/neighborhood/village never feels empty.

> Instead, we need self-sufficient neighborhoods catering to different lifestyles and needs

This is exactly what Europe feels like. A high street is never far, even when you’re in a sleepy residential neighborhood. At the very least there’s a small grocery store and bar on the corner.
> How about we let people generate their own keys, then use those keys to make identity claims, when people can generate on their own, or which can be generated by a third party. That gives multiple options to bind identities to arbitrary social media accounts etc without needing some monolithic root of trust.

You hit the nail on the head. Matching keys to real people can be done in-person for direct friends, then through a web of trust for indirect friends. For accounts/keys/personas you find on the internet where you don't have a chain of friends, you can either rely on "trusted" third-party attestation ("holder of key 0xdeadbeef earned a degree from this university") - you may never know with complete certainty if that's a real human, a bot, or an alt account for someone you already know, and that's totally fine.

The "problem" of matching keys 1-to-1 with identities for everyone globally (brought up by grandparent post) is a massive red herring that doesn't need to be "solved".
I don't think it does. You may be looking at some old screenshots I guess.

The easiest way is to build something for an existing community where you are not disallowed from promoting your own stuff. Ideally you need a way to talk to a lot of target users without having to pay money on advertising.

As for ones that manage to gain users without latching onto an existing community, I'm wondering as well. Perhaps good SEO or searchable content generation?
Even ignoring the effort needed and it's cost: who want to reside in former office buildings if now downtown areas start to be depopulated from local workers and so services built for them?
> Saying something like that in real life would get you laughed at.

All you've told me here is that the people you personally associate would laugh at the idea that Tesla is a toxic brand. The world is not made up of a single social group with a single set of norms. In the groups I associate with, and no we are not blue haired SJWs I am married with a family in the suburbs and work a boring corporate job, Tesla is toxic.

Some things I try to keep in mind as much as possible:

- We are all operating from different frames of reference.

- Social networks are fundamental to our survival: people will go to great lengths to stay in the good graces of their families, friends and associates.

- "Society" is a huge tapestry of interlocking social networks, each with its own internal logic and reward systems.

- The logic and reward systems of the most powerful networks tend to leak into all the others over time to some degree.

When does this hurt your scaling ability?

From my experience, scaling a typical site has always been bottlenecked in the database. http workers are generally stateless and easily scalable. Where it gets tricky is optimizing the database reads, caching, and invalidation.

Is the intended use case just simple CRUD of data that it not under extreme read or write loads?

It seems like you could quickly build CRUD for tables in _language of choice_ and still have the ability to optimize reads with caching later..

Neither of your examples (Ford not selling colorful cars, and your brother wanting you to get a car for macho reasons) seems to have anything to do with people choosing an automotive brand for political identity reasons.

"Truck or not truck" is plausibly a political identity matter, but "truck" is not a brand. Such people will like a truck from any truck company, if that truck is perceived to be big and manly enough.

Maybe my reading of the article is colored by the fact that I have become a frequent shopper at B&N within the last two years, but no, I go to B&N to get books, and so do many others, as evidenced by the statement in the article that sales are rising.

I don't know that I really disagree with anything you're saying about discovery and so on, but you keep describing it as a key insight of the article which doesn't seem to talk about it even a little bit. It sounds like your key insight, maybe, although the article seems to offer counter-evidence to your claim.
Hmm. Would you say Greece was a centralized society? But they had writing.

If "centralized" means "living in cities instead of rural", then Greece was centralized. But if you mean "ruled by one central authority who defines the language and how words are written", then Greece was not centralized.
Sure, you can claim without evidence that babies are not aware of their surroundings. And I can point at all the babies in the world which interact with their environment meaningfully. This is what is meant by obvious. You will say this is not "objective". A demand I don't find meaningful or persuasive.

You posit again without evidence that sensory input and language development create "real consciousness" which you haven't bothered to differentiate from pre-"real consciousness". This self-refuting argument demands an unaware newborn become aware by the mechanism you like, interacting with the world. Whereas I believe they are conscious by construction.

I would refute this by saying the baby was always conscious and simply learned some new behavior. This devolves into a ship of Theseus argument about whether a fetus is conscious or whether an embrybo or zygote is conscious. You have created a fake boundary you can't identify and put newborns on one side of the boundary.

I've already said what I think about p-zombies. They are an incoherent impossibility. I could use your same argument and say that even adults aren't really conscious. They are simply lying zombies reporting subjective states that don't exist. What is gained by claiming babies are zombies until the day they aren't.

FWIW in the above 1984 example it is because lots of people were publishing it when they had no rights to. I do agree that speaks volumes on Amazon not properly policing their platform and that they mishandled it. They should have instead properly credited people access to the properly licensed version.
The Dutch Salvation Army. They run food banks, have cafés for the homeless to warm themselves and enjoy some free coffee, their volunteers keep the lonely company, and so on. I’ve seen what they do and I love it.

I’m not a Christian myself, but subscribe to the same values. And somehow I’m more inclined to donate to an organization that requires members to believe in God. For some reason that makes me believe fraud or misuse of funds is less likely.
This tool is awesome. It allows you to update Windows manually by cherry picking what you want, and prevents Windows to do it on its own which will typically every now and then render system problematic or not working (even saw a BSOD recently). Even with cherry picking carefully, Windows managed to destroy transparency of my taskbar beyond repair.

The tool is portable and open source. You should also check out the authors site, there are other important tools there, most notably sandboxie.

I remember hearing a story years ago of the first Baskin and Robbins (aka 31 flavours) opening in japan, and how no one would leave the tiny lobby until they’d finished their ice cream cone.

Probably they don’t do that because the experience would be confusing for 98% of users. Is there some search engine people actually use not in that list?
>I'm thinking you meant the version installed on your device.

Yes, that is what I meant. I should have been clearer.

>Have you tried upgrading to at least 19.4?

No. Should I? Each time I have upgraded previously it seems to have fixed some bugs and introduced others.

How stable is v19.4 or v19.5?
Fair—I was being too extreme.
> yes, the CEO has an impact on things, but probably not as much as some people think.

Considering the fact that he is the CEO of at least 3 huge companies, and that he has the same 24 hours/day as the rest of us, many of which he spends shitposting on Twitter, it’s clear CEO is at best a part time job (at least the way Musk does it).

The guy expects his workers to put in 80 hours a week at their jobs. At best completely foregoing sleep, he can do the same for 2 of his CEO roles, meaning that one is going completely neglected according to his own standards.
If Tesla were to only keep the hardcore customer base it would massively fail.

Their goal is to be the most popular brand. In that case, the hardcore user base becomes only a small percentage.

People who pride themselves on lacking empathy are kind of trapped because no one can explain in a way that doesn’t require some empathy to understand.
All the comments here on buying vs. leasing are giving me an odd thought experiment:

Suppose you "buy" a paperback book. We all know that purchase doesn't give you the right to replicate the text of the book -- probably not even as a backup copy. So if you have a house fire and the book burns, you no longer have the book you bought, and no recourse.

But paperbacks don't have to burn to be useless. Hundred year old books are generally very fragile. So granted, Stephen King doesn't have the ability to remotely wipe your paperback of The Stand, but it's not eternal.

It's a distinction without (much of) a difference, since the paperback will outlive you and probably your grandchildren, but it's not eternal, and so technically you don't own it, the same way you don't own digital copies. The time frame over which you don't own it is just longer.
How does this differ from Prezi?
Urban planners and other entrenched interests are a huge obstacle to progress in the US.
I've actually worked on a large complex postgrest-based backend and the cons are all based on practical considerations imo:

- the dev workflow on a db-as-codebase system is less familiar, less well understood, with tooling general several years behind "normal" code work.
- branching and deployments similarly are just different in ways it's hard to prepare for, leading to low confidence in the deployed system.
- testing and debugging: pgtap has different constraints than normal unit testing, debugging sql functions is tricky and awkward. again the tooling is missing or far behind.
- in most profitable applications I've seen, the DB is the single largest cost and the most likely to become a bottleneck you can't loosen by throwing money at servers. having all your logic in there won't *necessarily* make this worse but it certainly won't make it better.

DBAs have dealt with all of these things for decades and they have skills and tools and mental models for them. But devs and DBAs practice different disciplines with different goals, and not everything crosses over easily. Engineers working on a system like this from either side will end up acquiring a degree of competence even expertise in the other one. Making them desirable for other employers and difficult to replace.

Overall I don't strictly prefer this approach, but it definitely has under appreciated strengths and should probably be used more. It's hard to say how it could end up if more resources were put into actually developing the tooling necessary to back it up.
I think the difference is one of degree, not kind. Two perspectives

1) harder to get many calories through beverages than it is foods. Mentally I’m weighing a coke against the burger mentioned up thread, so this one might fall down to a cursory inspection of liquid and solid offerings in nearby vending machines.

2) harder to get more calories when your selection is limited. If you would buy a coke and a snickers but you can only buy soda then you won’t buy two you will just skip the snickers.

So, probably a couple other more reasonable perspectives to explore before resorting to obvious hyperbole.

Only the techies here and the Tesla stock bag-holders who bought at the top of the bubble care about Musk's political leanings. Tesla has been doing just fine despite the competitors catching up which I already expected to happen as the stock was priced in years ago due to the hype. [0]

This comment sounds like a overreaction due to Musk taking over Twitter. Generally, people couldn't care less and are still buying and driving Teslas just like how many people still choose to drive Volkswagons despite the founder of the German Labour Front, Adolf Hitler being the founder.

Little to no one cares about the political stances other than the techies and bag-holders here as the cars are fine. Anything that is worth the criticism would be the safety of the FSD system which is a total scam that is rightfully under investigation and puts the lives of drivers on the road at risk.

Thankfully, at least it is a optional system.

> Is that really something that is actively legislated against in the US?

Yes. Zoning in the US tends to be restrictive and exclusionary, as in a given area is zoned for one type of use to the exclusion of any other. This means an area zoned residential does not allow any commercial use, not a local grocery, not a restaurant, not a barber shop. Furthermore, residential zones tend to be further restricted in order to preclude any sort of MDU or even townhouse, it's common for suburbia to have miles and miles of "single family" (exclusively detached residential) zoning.

And this is not small cities in the boondocks, Seattle, Charlotte, Arlingon, or San Jose, are above 80% single-family zoning.
I really hope that’s true, it’s hilarious either way!
