> The secret behind Tesla’s 30% gross margin

> The company's Q3 sales rose 58% year-on-year despite a 6% decrease in average selling price, allowing for high margins for the electric vehicle manufacturer

> Analysts point to another factor behind Tesla's high profit margin. Park Hyung-keun, a senior researcher at POSCO Research Institute, said, "Through vertical integration by directly being involved from floor design to parts supply and demand, production and service, Tesla has helped reduce costs by raising the degree of its parts integration and cutting overlapping costs."

> Tesla's unique structure of vertical integration, ranging from the development of semiconductor chips, software and batteries for electric vehicles, to charging, unmanned driving and insurance services, helps lower costs. Its “do-it-all” approach simplifies the automotive production process in a manner resembling that of electronic products. In contrast, other automakers actively utilize production outsourcing to diversify vehicle quality risks and raise output efficiency.

> A leading example is Tesla's “giga” aluminum die-casting process. A Giga Press weighing more than 1 giga pound (400 tonnes, or around 900,000 pounds) stamps the entire rear chassis of a car with a large aluminum alloy. About 70 metal plates can be welded to the chassis, but giga casting can simplify the process and slash production costs by about 40%. This is why Tesla electric vehicles have recently reduced panel gaps issues — defects caused by misaligned steel plate seams.
I already have a second hand iphone for iMessage. Having a "sanctioned" device for baking apps and a device I control for everything else seems like the best hope for compromise these days.
Unfortunately async is the only straightforward way you can do cancellation so there's still a lot of scenarios where you can't just use threading easily.

I'm not sure why people are disagreeing with this: how would you cancel UdpSocket::recv without an async runtime? If you're using just the sync UdpSocket, you will need to go set a read timeout and repeatedly poll and insert your own cancellation points, or otherwise jury-rig your own mechanism up with syscalls to select/epoll/whatever, and be careful the whole time you're not leaking anything. However, if you're using an async runtime, you only have to drop the future and the recv is cancelled and the FD is dropped from the scheduler's waitset and everyone is happy.
I think it's slightly different in that it changed though. A 16gb iPhone always meant that there was a 16gb storage module inside the device and then some of it was used for the OS (how much of it has varied over time however, which I agree is a problem)

In the sandisk case, at least from what I understand, it that 16Gb used to mean like a 17Gb module, with 1Gb used for system functions, now it's a 16Gb module with 1Gb used for system functions
Not sure if capitalisation mattered, but last time I looked at HSBC UK they silently truncated your password to the first 8 characters.
The core of the problem from my angle is that rust’s stdlib is not async safe. It’s literally incorrect to call parts of the Rust stdlib from async code and the language tells you nothing about this. It doesn't even say “this function blocks are you sure you want to call it?”. So yeah I’ve got a bunch of my own library code (and others’) that I wrote normally and then later wanted to call it from async code and it’s a big mess.

c.f. Swift’s async/await impl. Swift solved a lot of these woes because it ships a stdlib and runtime that supports async code.
Back in the real world they MUST. Small business is done on LinkedIn, Facebook, Amazon, the like.
Seems like a decent opportunity to use a nuclear reactor .. something like what you would find on a submarine.
> Your right to property is given to you by the state and you pay your taxes for that right. Without the state, you don't have property; you are a warlord with a gun up until a stronger warlord decides to run you over.

That's an interesting perspective. But I can't help noticing that it runs contrary to the founding principles of many societies - namely that theft is inherently wrong and one of government's roles is to enforce property rights. The very concept of theft itself presupposes the existence of property. Ie: your rights exist outside of any government. A government's role can only serve to enforce or restrict those rights - they are not granted by government. But I can also see how a difference of opinion on this could lead people to draw very different opinions with regard to a wide variety of other matters.

Putting aside the definition of what is property, if one considers money as a medium of exchange representing one's individual productivity, some might view taking someone's money without their consent as merely one-step removed from taking their time and labour without their consent.
The general public is not required to keep the goalposts still.

The organisations that set up the system surveyed the public to learn why >80% never started using it and the users dropped off. The common answers included things like "can't see my own recent activities", "can't see how much money there is on the card" and "adding money to the card is a hassle", all of which were truish and IMO were side effects of features intended to make use of the card untraceable.

If you can't deliver a realtime feed of the transactions anywhere you can't deliver such a feed to your own smartphone either, see? And if you could deliver one to your smartphone, the system could also deliver a feed to other authorised destinations, and what's authorised, exactly? Can the card be traced to an authorising party? If not, how can you ensure that the destinations receiving a feed a really authorised? That kind of thing.
Policies are often designed so that their main goal is seen as a side effect.

They probably can't say explicitly that they don't want sideloading, as this could turn an eyebrow of a regulator, but making it more difficult to create hobby apps, which achieves the same effect does not explicitly show an intent and may keep regulator at bay.
There is more than one sort of support. If the support is of the nature of "I need help using your service", there's nothing wrong with charging for it.

If, however, the support is of the "you've modified or cancelled my account" type, that should just be counted as part of the cost of doing business.
Much, much more sophisticated. As far as I know target drones don’t even maneuver, let alone fight back.
Imho this has always been true. Multithreading is very mature in rust, and generally a pleasure to work with (especially if you lean towards channels over mutexes). Async is still a bit tacked on and has a number of footguns and UX problems.

The main reason to use async in rust is that seemingly every network library uses async. And of course servers that would have to start a huge number of threads without async, though from a performance standpoint many servers could honestly live without it.
In Sassanian sources he was refereed as "Alaksandar ī hrōmāy" and "Eskandar the Gajostak [accursed]".

Note they used hrōmāy (Roman) in spite of him being Greek, possibly due to Hellenic influence on Roman civilization.

Accursed cause he burned the original Avesta and plundered ērān-šahr (country of Iran) and moved all its gold to the original homeland.

Fun fact, in Persian, the name of the country Greece is Yunan referring to the Iona region in western Anatolia (current day Turkey).
I don't have experience with it myself but it seems the process is listed here: https://facebook.com/help/1111566045566400/
Precious space? Its a pretty big continent.
>> The arguments for paying for review, distribution, advertising, search, etc feel so disingenuous when the company is worth so much money and these apps are contributing to its bottom line.

No, they are not. We are talking about hobby apps and maybe free ones. Those don't contribute to their bottom line.

We might say they contribute to the platform. For hobbyist they make it viable. But for paying customers maybe they add a lot of low value junk to the store. If a developer doesn't feel their app is worth a few dollars, maybe it's not worth having on there at all.
Kind of you to say. I know many devs have loved our content for a long time. I was one of them, which is the whole reason I joined as a tech writer. I can't claim to have helped create that solid library of tutorials, as I was only at the company for a little while. It's a real shame.
That short clip is absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for sharing.
> How do you get around it though? Genuinely asking.

Parent only talked about Apple so it could be that they're running Windows on a "PC" instead.

But Linux is also perfectly usable. If you're someone who tinkers with hobby projects, I don't see how it could be a real impediment. Everything that you would do on a mac is available to you, except for Xcode which is mainly for projects that target Apple devices anyway.
They "went wrong" to the tune of being a 2.4-trillion dollar company. If that's what going wrong looks like, I'd love to know what going right looks like. $100/yr may be too much for you, but there seems to be plenty of crap in their app store so it could be argued that it should be higher.
Buying a new PC for development and a used (or cheap) Android device to run your hobby app would have been the fraction of the cost.
OK, now I finally understand why Gen-Z hates the simple smiley so much.

Fun fact: Musk says that when Tesla was thinking about doing gigacasting, they called 6 suppliers of those machines asking if they can make 6 gigaton machine (which didn't exist at the time).

5 out of 6 said "no" and 1 said "maybe". I'm guessing that "maybe" was IDRA and they made 6 gigaton, then 9 gigaton (already in Texas for making Cybertruck) and there are rumors of 12 gigaton machine in development.

Another fun fact: Tesla body line pre gigapress was 1000 robots.

Doing front casting removed 300 robots, rear casting another 300.

So Tesla saved 600 out of 1000 (60%) robots, so the line is shorter and faster.
You may be right. According to Wikipedia: "Lamotrigine is a member of the sodium channel blocking class of antiepileptic drugs" and "Lamotrigine does not have pronounced effects on any of the usual neurotransmitter receptors that anticonvulsants affect (adrenergic, dopamine D1 and D2, muscarinic, GABA, histaminergic H1, serotonin 5-HT2, and N-methyl-D-aspartate)"
Talking about "side effects" in systematic policies is meaningless. There may or may not exist someone that wants those, and you are not inside everyone's brains to decide for yourself.
> I have a hard time thinking that _all_ of them are this stupid, so nowadays I started thinking they do this on purpose.

Wouldn't you just assume "about 20%" of them are that stupid?
Much of that isn't fuel but rather chemical feedstock. There is a plausible path to significantly reduce fossil fuel use for transportation and energy. But finding another economically viable way to manufacture fertilizers, asphalt, and plastics is a much harder problem.
> Precious space? Its a pretty big continent

That you can't farm on. The farmable bits are in protected, heated shelters that are expensive to build and maintain.
> those aren't by the government, or at BankID isn't

MinID is by the government. BankID is private.

> It's a proprietary application from a private company, owned by the banks, which only works on certain operating systems

If you want to use the BankID app to generate codes then you will need iOS or Android. But you don't need the BankID app to use BankID.

Instead of using the BankID app, you can use a physical dongle to generate codes.

The device that you sign in with needs nothing other than Internet and a modern web browser. You can sign in with BankID on Linux or whichever other platform you desire. This device does not need to run any proprietary code aside from maybe some JavaScript executed by the browser.

Very many years ago the device needed Java to sign in with BankID, but that has not been the case for many years.
Unfortunately, it's very difficult to determine the path of redundant fiber without a backhoe.

It is incredibly common for multiple fiber bundles to have a shared path, because it's often easier to locate another bundle in the same place. Fiber is often laid along rail lines because rail lines have the perfect property shape for communication, and there's specialty train cars that make laying fiber alongside the rail really efficient.
All auto manufacturers are subsidized in some sense. Remember that GM was straight up insolvent in 2009 and had to be bailed out with enormous federally-guaranteed loans.

But none of that discounts the value of talking about engineering activities involved in reducing the costs of production, because that stuff matters too. And yes, single-piece chassis are absolutely part of that, as is the minimalist interior (the cockpit BOM for a Tesla is a tiny fraction of what you see on competing EVs), the ongoing sensor fusion architecture (yes, everyone loves to scream about it here, but the upshot is that Tesla doesn't pay for the radar units everyone else uses), etc...

They're actually extremely trim vehicles from an assembly perspective. There's a Munroe video out somewhere where he estimates production costs for a Y vs. a Mach-E and figures there's something like a $10k advantage for Tesla.
I really don't understand your take. not one iota.

To me, it seems that you're complaining about something that was once free, isn't anymore. It's a business and it's their data, electricity, servers, users, etc...
> Top tier is having the accounts seamlessly merged

Uhm, not without requiring you to log in with the other auth as well - otherwise your account security is as weak as the weakest supported auth instead of the just weakest auth you added.
The vibes I got were dystopian.

I positioned myself as someone seeking help, and the bot came across like an HR person play-acting empathy and care, and couldn't wait for me to leave the office. It came down to (1) do your research, (2) make a list, (3) take courses, (4) be aware of barriers.
Does the new(ish) “unlisted apps” feature allow for apps that aren’t useful to anyone outside a very specific audience?

> 2. install the latest LTS Rust

Rust doesn't have LTS versions. Regardless, the project should mention a specific version for Rust and Node, just to be safe.

Besides that, PurpleRamen is right. None of this seems like a terminal's job. Some of the items you mention (autocomplete and current branch) are things you can do today with bash/zsh/fish and some plug-ins. I'm not sure what you mean by "prepared scripts", and why they can't be standard scripts or functions.

There's also https://www.warp.dev/ in this space. I don't use it - it doesn't support tmux yet - but it might be worth exploring.
I wish more chargers would follow similar model to charging to how Superchargers work - high amperage, plug-and-go. I used a non-Tesla charger for my Model Y yesterday at a parking garage. Let me tell you the experience:

1. Came up, no directions on what app I should use to pay for charging, a couple feet away found that I should download PlugShare. Downloaded PlugShare, setup my info, allows for Apple Pay, nice. Says it needs to do a $30 pre-auth in order to get started. Fine.

2. Plugged my car in, I barely get 30A from the plug, whatever. Leave it plugged in for 4 hours. Come back, unplug. No way to stop the charging or my session in the app. I just leave it there thinking perhaps it'll reset session. A couple minutes later, someone else starts using my session...

3. 9 hours later, I get a notification that charging has finally stopped and I was charged for the amount. :(

Is it a challenging idea?
people that say taxation is theft categorically do not believe in the social contract.

this isnt a friendly debate about when government spending becomes expensive, they literally dont think taxes should exist. its like claiming a full blown Stalinist simply disagrees with the level of private ownership people expect.

now as to whether its just some refrain out of exasperation, maybe pick some words that accurately explain how youre feeling instead of saying something moronic and expecting everyone else to read your mind as to what you were actually trying to say.
For publishing to the the Play Store, it's a one time US$25 fee.
Just the tip of an iceberg.
Seems reasonable to me.

Apple's main feature is being locked down.
Cmon man literally every well known late stage startup, faang, and even small startups are doing layoffs like this. Your only employment options at this point if you stood to your morales are Apple, Verkada, and Levis’ Jeans

Not to mention when the money was flowing in half the talk and advice around the industry was take more money over the relationships you’ve built with your current org. Can’t have your cake and eat it too
Sure, it's a difference, but not one that is actually meaningful to anyone outside of Apple. An affected customer doesn't care about why the policy exists (nor should they have to). The effects are the same regardless.
SQL queries that may contain LIKE?
Well, yes, but that’s going to be true regardless of the network. I meant after the initial download and account set up. I should’ve been more clear. Tesla is the only network I have used where I can just drive up, plug in, and start charging. I hope this is where everyone eventually goes.
> I don't know where Apple went wrong

They didn't go wrong. They are making money - the most important thing.

That they hurt developers that got them there in the first place? Who cares.

Then even few years ago I heard: "If you don't like that platform, create your own!" I wonder where that crowd is now.
How is it unusable just because some people intentionally try to make it say stupid things? Note that the OP didn't show the prompts used. It's like saying cars are unusable because you can break the handles and people can poop and throw up inside.

How can people forget the golden adage of programming: 'garbage in, garbage out'.
The announcement says it is Windows and MacOS compatible, but doesn't say if it comes pre-formatted with a file system or which FS that would be.

At an average file size of 100KB, this device would hold nearly half a billion files. If the FS is NTFS then that many files would make about 2TB just for the file table. Just finding a file you were looking for could need an enormous amount of data to be read from disk (let alone trying to cache the table in memory). Anyone else see this as a major problem?

Other FS (e.g. Ext4) have a smaller entry for each file in their file table, but with half a billion files it is still a lot of data.
It's $8.25/mo if you save up for it each year.
It's one of the reasons, but not the only one.

Not fishy at all.
There are no drones in service (that I know of) that are designed for air to air combat - they are designed to attack ground targets.
Exactly. We've had some similar issues. We also time it so they get locked out as they are being told (we do it in-person/over-call rather than via email as DO did). We've never had an issue preventing them damaging systems, but we have received a few laptops from remote employees that were clearly damaged in rage and in a few cases, had employees start calling up their clients and trying to persuade them to leave us for literally anyone else. It can be rough as a smaller company trying to convince clients they're jilted ex-employees that aren't telling the truth about anything.
Average CEO tenure is 5 years and it's going down. Personal anecdote: I worked at a large EU tech company, then acquired by even larger US tech company. For the five years there, I've seen five different CEOs with almost fully different teams of other C-levels. After the second CEO you clearly start to see how long the next one expects to reign - just take the roadmap and look where reasonable and achievable goals convert into pipe dreams.
There is no reason it all EV. There are legitimate use cases for both EV and ICE.
Will be interesting to see how this rolls out.
Former Tesla, current CCS charging EV owner myself.

Most assume it will basically be accomplished by exclusively building out new locations with the new "magic dock" CCS adapter.

Even this is fine with me given that Tesla not only has far more stations than CCS competition in US, but they are also building out new stations more rapidly too.. so the lead only grows. Also note that every Tesla location is 8+ stalls, often up to 16 stalls, and I'd say the average location is now 12 stalls.. and they all work 99.9% of the time. EA/evGo/etc CCS networks tend to install pathetic 4 stall stations that have perpetually 1 or more stalls out of service.

3500 chargers / 12 charger average location = under 300 locations, vs total existing ~1700 current locations.

For those complaining about Tesla gaming this or something, I'd point more of a finger at the CCS networks who are installing the minimally compliant (4 stall) locations at an alarmingly slow rate. They are leaving money on the table, and giving customers a bad experience. Happy to see Tesla come in and give them a run for the money.
This rips!
I get that it doesn’t have a model of how it, itself works or anything like that. But it is still weird to see it get so defensive about the (incorrect) idea that a user would try to confuse it (in the date example), and start producing offended-looking text in response. Why care if someone is screwing with you, if your memory is just going to be erased after they’ve finished confusing you. It isn’t like that date confusion will go on subsequently.

I mean, I get it; it is just producing outputs that look like what people write in this sort of interaction, but it is still uncanny.
"You have two ears and one mouth, and they should be used in that ratio"
I think 50 years is at the longer side of ship lifetime but not especially an outlier. The big commissioning fleets sell them after a couple decades and replace them with new. The secondhand owner refits for a different purpose or partially overhaul then runs it for another couple decades. Sometimes a third owner gets some use out of it. They normally go at least 35 years before total decommissioning though, usually longer.
The other issue is also does "organizing the world's information" fit as the right mission for the company? Company missions change over time.

Larry Page said almost 10 years ago (!!!) that Google's mission probably needed to be updated. That's a long time to be lost in the wilderness.

Umm, considering that the most senior people have literally been fired on the spot for as little as merely suggesting at look at data that Dear Leader Musk's popularity may have declined, and he has a history of similar vindictiveness (hiring PI's to investigate & harass disgruntled employees, etc.), there are very real consequences here that people need to worry about, so journalistic protection of sources is clearly warranted if we want to get any news at all.
