I'm not sure you can say that when the market cap is still 10x car companies that deliver orders of magnitude more cars than them. Even a high growth car company wouldn't justify that valuation.

No, Tesla is still very overpriced for a car company based on hype.
Man, can’t believe it’s already been over a year. Yeah, I know it would’ve been a long shot, but he’d know who to raise the issue with. He also cares deeply about developers in general, and especially about setting good examples — he once joked to me “If you were at Microsoft during the YouTube-dl ban, you wouldn’t think I was so nice. You’d be like wow, Nat swears at people.” I would’ve been too!

I'm pretty sure American companies are forbidden from selling things to Iran, regardless of where geographically those things are manufactured.

Obviously just finding these parts doesn't mean necessarily they were sold directly by TI to Iran, for example, but it does raise questions that are not answered by "they were physically manufactured in China."
> I am not sure why we aren't seeing a push for the installation of streetcar power lines, these already exist and are used for busses

They’re ugly eyesores.

They only exist in a handful of cities in the USA to begin with.

They limit your driving speed.

They create additional noise.

They can detach fairly easily, impeding traffic. Much bigger issue if this could potentially happen to every vehicle.
Why would you think the supplier is centralized when any of X billion people could have bought the component or a product containing it and sold it to someone who sold it to someone who sold it to Iran ?

And this case is successful, we might see real repercussions this time around, instead of a wave of cookie banners. On the other hand, we might also see way more websites willing to straight-out block EU users from accessing them. And they won't be missed.
Did they really pivot or is this just Elon Musk's usual smokes and mirrors bullshit to distract people from other issues?
They're definitely still a tech firm, just one that consistently misses promised release/delivery dates by 2-3 years

Any other company that would miss release dates as much as Tesla does would have crashed by 90% by now
This reads like a non sequitur to me. You start by saying that you saw some really nice reproductions of photos in some old photography magazines – great. Then you say that skilled photographers will continue to prefer various cameras to the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Both statements may be true, but where's the connection between them? I mean, if subject matter, body language, light and composition are the really important things (and I agree!), then who cares which camera you're using anyway?
Yes they are absolutely still a thing.

Albeit the amount of work available has been in decline for decades and it's now a fraction of what it used to be, but there's still enough work to keep a core of the very best working almost full time in the remaining major recording studios (here in London at least).

I think you'd be surprised at how much music is still produced by composing, arranging for and recording real musicians. But London is still one of the best places on the planet to get that kind of work done so it's an admittedly skewed experience.

Oh, and there's more than just session musicians who need to sight read perfectly first time - that's just table-stakes for professional commercial musicians in my experience (source: am professional-level jazz trombonist).
The entire worldwide car industry won't be worth 7 trillion dollars in 2026.
It doesn't matter as much to me now but when I was traveling a lot some determinism in the shipping time was worth a lot to me. And even now, there's a category of things that I don't need right now but I want soonish and probably won't get to the store for a day or two anyway.

It's still a decent value to me overall--especially throwing in video.
> I think Apple can make an even better car than Tesla if they build the hardware and software like their phones and computers.

I'm not sure outsourcing manufacturing and focusing on design works in auto industry - but could be wrong.
At least in large cities, lots of (mostly young) people are already fully on board with a largely car-free future. It's increasingly common to dream of not owning a car at all, instead of having a dream car. All of my american friends my age have some resentment that they're practically forced to own a car even in dense cities. So urban planners just need to enable a car-free lifestyle, and the shift will happen on its own.

Contrast in European and Asian cities, it is already extremely common to not own a car. In my city, even the people I know who own cars only use them for long journeys or when public transit is insufficient. And these bike/trike EVs are the dominant method for deliveries (mail, packages, food, etc... all use electric bikes) since they're cheaper to drive and maintain, drivers don't need a special commercial license, and they can be faster than traffic a lot of the time.

It's a lifestyle shift, but it's definitely doable to sell this idea.
Related to what olex said, if you're "saving" over $100/month because you don't have 8 other subscriptions running, you can tell yourself quite reasonably you're already saving a lot of money and you don't need to squeeze the value out of a monthly subscription that's less than one fast food meal's worth of money.

The whole point is to enjoy the service; if you feel stressed because you feel forced to binge everything to get your "value", well, cancel that service too. It is apparently not bringing you that value. That will help you get over it pretty quickly.
Are you referring to government and politicians?
Oh yeah, tomb raider was fun, but vquake was the bomb.

Although, eventually, when the miniGL port was released, it was clear that the V2x00s were sub-par, even with 24 bit support and hardware z-buffer. Eventually the voodoo2 just put the nail in the coffin. But for a time, little geek me had fun pushing the hardware limits, even though I knew nothing of thermal management at the time.

Indeed, I remember some DOS games having some... stutters? For lack of a better term. But at that point I was hooked on 3D and Windows 9x, so it didn't matter too too much.
Im curious how this is going to be calculated. Is 33% of Reddit NSFW? Possibly. Do they ban Reddit without government ID?

You (intentionally?) missed the fact that that is an 8 year old sensor. Of course there is more to it than simple physics; the utilization of those physics matter.

Is an 8 year old CPU using 200mm^2 as good as a modern CPU using 200mm^2? No. Is it as good as a modern CPU using 50mm^2? Probably not either.

Edit to respond to child: No, the comment I responded to HERE on HN is an 8 year old sensor (Sony A6000).

> Learning to sing and strum chords at the same time was a transformative experience for me and incredible bang-for-buck compared to learning piano, because that immediately unlocks being able to perform most pop songs with chords.

You can do the same on the piano, with comparable effort to the guitar! Some songs are more amenable to piano accompaniment than others - ballads work great.
Modula-2 has many new features that make it better than Pascal. It is not merely a Pascal with some issues fixed.

One small thing I like about Modula-2 is an improvement in the syntax where BEGIN is not required after conditionals and loops.
For listening music piracy isn't worth it. The streaming solutions of Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music ... are pretty good.

With a family plan it comes down to less than 3 dollars a month.

For video, the story is completely different. I would have to subscribe to 3 to 5 subscriptions and the experience varies. Netflix sucks immensely [0].
I pay for netflix and prime, but have to run my own Plex Server. When you run your own Plex Server, you also run Sonarr and Radarr. Now you don't care anymore, just add the movie, 10 minutes later i can watch it.

Setting it up maybe a little a hassle, but when it runs ... its god like.

Syria isn’t Iran’s immediate neighbour. Neither are North Africa or Yemen, but there are natural strategic complements to Tehran having influence in each. Same as America. Again, same impulse, different scales. Iran is no Iceland.
It’s funny because it pretends to assume that wrongdoers will closely follow the instructions even to their own detriment.
I'm certain that we're going to see plenty of comments about how this is terrible for privacy and it's an attack of free speech but we've had limits on porn forever. People didn't consider it a privacy violation if they were carded for buying a pornographic magazine and I'm certain everyone here would not suggest children should be allowed to purchase such magazines. Why should it be any different online?

Yes it's scary what companies could do with this sensitive information and we should try our best to legislate against abuse of these details. It's possible. Bars have the ability to collect thousands of people's driver's license information and we haven't seen much of a security risk there.

The fact of the matter is porn is accessible to children within seconds and for the last 30 years we have done virtually nothing to try to prevent it. We know that porn is harmful, especially to children, and we have done NOTHING to try to prevent it.

I'm okay with adults being inconvenienced if it means we can protect children. That's a standard we've had in America for generations.
Yes, and Africa is not alone.

Colleague said, he considered to build internet in Uzbekistan, even visited country.
What he see, they have all very unfriendly or extremely conservative (Afghanistan) countries around, so he cannot just buy external internet channel.

To send tweet or whatsapp, start app, push "send" and lay phone/tablet alone turned on, and in few hours will see "message delivered".
How to save and multiply your capital in 2023
And meanwhile, all the big newspapers in germany ask you to consent to individual tracking (and sharing to third parties) whenever you access their websites. Since they are not Meta, it seems to be completely acceptable.

This is true for so many "tech" darlings: Should Uber be priced like a tech company, or a cab company? Is Amazon a tech company or a retailer? Are ecommerce outlets like Warby Parker and Away tech companies, or just retailers with good CSS?

It continues to amaze me how investors seem bamboozled by the appearance of "tech company-ness", by businesses which are obviously in markets that don't support the high price to earnings of "tech companies"--valuations which are premised on strong network effects (present, to a degree, with Telsa, in the form of the charging network--but they will open that up to other carmakers, I guess?) and low unit costs (um, not for cars), and which fundamentally make no sense for things like retail (high unit costs, no network effects) or scooter rentals (high capital costs, high unit costs, limited network effects).

But investors--showing the wisdom of crowds, I guess--seem frequently unable to look past the shiny CSS and the fact that the founder/CEO wears a turtleneck and the headquarters office has a beer tap.
Definitely off-topic but I wouldn't be so sad. I grew up speaking Irish at home and at school, and at the time that was very uncommon outside of a Gaeltacht. Now there are many many more Irish speaking schools, just in the area I grew up my nieces and nephew had 5 different options, 2 within walking distance. I had a 30 minute bus ride to get to one option. This year there will be 3 Irish-language TV stations (Tg4, Naught, and a new one focused on kids) ... and Irish cultural centers are strong. When I go home to Ireland, even in Dublin I can socialize and go out in Irish; Áras Chrónáin is our local. Irish feels much stronger to me than in the 80s.
I don't think I would ever resort to piracy, as a middle aged guy with a family, the reward is not worth the risk to me plus I am lucky enough to be able to afford to watch what I want if I really want it. With that said the quality of options available on streaming services has really gone down. I am subscribed to Netflix, Prime, Disney+, Apple, Hulu and HBO Max; and there is nothing to watch.

I am likely going to cancel Apple, HBO Max, Hulu and Netflix shortly.
My kids like Disney+ although personally I am concerned with the channels attempts to front and center homosexuality targeted at kids. This is a personal issue I am not seeking to change anyone's opinion or mind or lead a boycott against Disney. Its just something that I don't like for my kids. So depending on if the amount of animated LGBTQ content increases on the channel I will likely cancel that as well.

Tautologies are correct by definition, experts are not.

Based on my observations they seem to be usually perceived as correct by definition, but that [culturally trained and regularly reinforced] perception, and the methodology that produces it, is technically incorrect.
"Outsourcing" is a very poor way to describe Apple's supply chain. They are deeply integrated. For example Apple owns most of the CNCs and similar equipment used. Having tight control over all logistics is core to Apple's strategy of huge global product launches.
I just stopped consumption of TV and streaming formats.

Music that im interested in gets bought (eg. Bandcamp) or yt-dl'ed.

I was astounded when HBO said they would remove Westworld from their streaming catalog.

WTF. Why even subscribe in the first place. Absolutely ridiculous.
Because I view them via an AppleTV, I subscribe to Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, and AppleTV at various different times all through my iTunes account. It's easy to turn them on and off all through one account interface. The Account Settings page lists both Active and Expired accounts for all the services, along with next billing or expiration dates. It's just a few clicks.
In Preceden's early days, I didn't have any kids, so could work on some nights and weekends and it was no issue. When we started having kids and I was still full time, I greatly reduced much time I had to work on side projects. That eventually led me to switching to a contractor role with reduced hours because it was too hard to juggle a full time job, a SaaS, multiple kids, and my sanity.

I never worked on Preceden when I should have been working on my full time job, and tried not to work on it much when I should have been spending time with my family. Definitely figure out your priorities and work with your spouse to come up with some ground rules that help you make it work long term.
While you are downvoted and you are speaking metaphorically, but there is still a lot of scum in this industry and exploited women.

She is amazing, somehow manages to take Elon at his word on everything when even his biggest fans use phrases like "Elon time"

Reordering Columns in PostgreSQL
This is kind of a stupid question but I see lot of people here recommend postgresql so I decided to give it a try.

I stumbled upon the fact that it's not possible to rearrange columns ordering.

Is this not too much of a constraint ?
I mean what's the workaround for eg for the analysts using it daily ?
Columns just pile at the end of every table without any consistency ?

We believe that the D programming language can be a great candidate for writing kernel device drivers in a safe programming language.
D is fully compatible with C and mechanically checks, during compilation, the user code for unsafe behavior. The language also boasts powerful compile-time features that make it possible to write highly specific, high performance code.

It also has a smooth learning curve and does not force language features onto the users, allowing them to gradually improve their code base, as they become more comfortable with the language.

We were able to integrate D in the kernel with minimal effort. It took us (a team of 4) 3 months to port the driver to D. We were able to use the existing kernel build system and weren't required to add extra support in the kernel for D.

Both D and Rust are a great step forward to writing safe software.

The difference seems to be that Tesla was 5-10 years ahead on everything: Minimalistic interiors, modern infotainment, mobile app performance, and of course they lead the way in making electric cars viable by showing that they can both look good and blast off in record time. But you're right that other automakers see Tesla as a threat and are catching up; for example, the range and charging curve improvements on models like the EV6 / Ioniq 5 look great, assuming the charger work [in the cold].
If appropriate, a frictionless way to try the product.

For example, it could be a link to a page where people can play with your interface. If you have a low-code or an analytics product, generate some fake data and let me play with them by, e.g., dragging and dropping stuff, experimenting with menus, making dashboards, etc.

You can put a CTA there to let people register and explore their own data on your free or trial (no CC) account.

To put it differently, unless you are an established player with an amazing value proposition, don't force me into creating an account and/or giving you my CC number just to try your stuff.
