See every Matt Levine column ever -- Everything is Securities Fraud. That is the actual interpretation of 10b-5 by the SEC and by the activist investor class (not meant as a denigrating term, merely descriptive of investors actively taking interest in their portfolio companies to the point that they sue over deceptive claims). I expect the lawsuit to follow, but might take a few months to file.
It's not overreach lmao
Counter point, I drove a new German car and had the turbo blow up (this was an "economy" car) within 4,000 miles. I still loved that car, but ICE engines have an order of magnitude more points of failure.
> Nothing is stopping customers from holding corporations accountable, by taking their business elsewhere if they find a corporation to be unreliable.

Nothing except layers of political lobbying, misleading advertising, opaque corporate ownership, and monopolistic practices. The result being:

- You won't find out about corporate misdeeds, and if you do

- You will be told it's not that bad or that they've changed, and if you don't believe that

- You will have trouble finding a brand that they do not own, and if you find that

- It won't be as easy to obtain or cheap
The irony is that there are folks that think, in earnest, that seeing an ad and rape are comparable. Wait. Nope. It's not irony, but that speaks volumes about how me too came about.
Well, this is the state we're talking about... the threat of 30-60 days in jail might be sufficient to scare most small-time tax dodgers into line. Anyone bigger than that's probably already legally avoiding taxes in the first place anyways.
This is moronic. People reach out to these types of things because they need a human connection or relation. AI is a terrible replacement here.
I'm only counting the BMW i4, iX, i7, and i5, vs the Tesla S, 3, X, and Y.

Maybe I'm missing something, but the lineups seem comparable.
> I will call it the Barely C Programming Language

Or BCPL, for short.

> The C programming language was devised in the early 1970s as a system implementation language for the nascent Unix operating system. Derived from the typeless language BCPL, it evolved a type structure; created on a tiny machine as a tool to improve a meager programming environment, it has become one of the dominant languages of today. This paper studies its evolution. [1]

How are the cars compared?
Why not? Toyota sells sports cars.
Is It AWS?
I've developed a web applet to query individual IPv4 addresses/ranges from the AWS IP address ranges database
I corrected your analogy for you:

Starbucks (Google) and McDonalds (Apple) coffee are both available and control 98% of the coffee sales, with Starbucks owning about 70% by themselves. They each make their own special cups (hardware) that can only hold their coffee and require their special nozzles to fill, but Starbucks graciously allows a number of other retailers to make and sell compatible versions of their special cups. The fill nozzles of each require a special brewing process for the coffee to fit thru the nozzles, and a special grinding process for that brewing. Both own 99.9% of the market on services, tools, and aptents for the brewing and grinding. They also have 95% market share on bean buying and importing, and only ship to their own supply chains.
To help with harvesting, McDonalds offers nice tools but will only buy beans harvested with those tools and charge $99/year/worker for them. Starbucks offers theirs for free, but the tools have to be taken apart if you don't your harvested beans ending up in a Starbucks purchasing truck.
Not to be outdone by the lowly coffee farmers, both companies own large coffee plantations, and Starbucks owns 30% of the total coffee-growing land in the world and leases almost all of it to any type of farmer that will pay. Resultantly, it's less profitable and more work for farmers to not sell to Starbucks or McDonalds, even though they get paid very little for their beans.

Now you as a coffee drinker don't like that Starbucks is requiring you to provide 2 years of bank statements, your government ID card, birth certificate, body cam footage for the last 2 weeks, emails for the past 4 months, full text message history, and the passwords to every account you've had since you were 12 years old every time you want to buy a coffee. McDonalds is better, they only want the body cam footage, bank statements, and passwords, but you're not thrilled by that either. So you decide to find another coffee shop.
You discover there are only a few, and they mostly just serve gas station drip coffee because they can't get growers to sell to them. Some try to get the grower to sell, but require the grower to also handle shipping and importing, but most want the growers to include shipping, importing, grinding, and brewing. Needless to say, not many growers are interested, especially ones that already have big name recognition among coffee drinkers.

A couple enterprising companies however have figured out they can just resell the Starbucks coffee. Most of these just go buy all the types of coffees available and keep them on hand for anyone that wants them, but buyers are wary of whether they're really getting the Starbucks coffee or coffee with unknown fillers added. Only one company has decided they'll resell by offering to have a one of a dedicated team of people go buy the Starbucks for you while you watch (Aurora Store). Now Starbucks is getting angry because they specifically say you can't buy coffee for others, and they're banning the dedicated team of people from all Starbucks stores in retaliation.

> Surely you must realize the fallacy of your argument. I can apply this logic to literally everything.

Well, you would need to analyze the specific facts of the situation to see if it backed up the argument first, which I did.

> Western Europe hasn’t been entirely peaceful since 1945. First of all, Europe had colonies and colonial warfare well into the 1980s, in places like Angola and Algeria.

Angola and Algeria aren’t in Europe.

> Second many countries were dictatorship in Western Europe, including Spain, Portugal and Italy.

They still didn’t go to war with each other.

> There were civil wars in Northern Ireland as well as terrorist insurgencies in Germany and Spain well into the 90s and 2000s.

I never claimed the US was able to eradicate domestic terrorism, only wars between countries. Western Europe hadn’t had a war between countries since 1945, which is the longest stretch since probably the fall of Rome.

> There were actually two Germanies until the late 1980s

Yes, that’s why I specified “Western Europe”; Eastern Europe was under Soviet hegemony.
If every residential and office parking lot had level 2 AC chargers (much cheaper than level 3 DC fast chargers) at every spot, that would cover most charging needs.

Adding slow chargers at places people aren't going to spend hours seems mostly pointless.

Building DC fast chargers along travel routes or in places people might spend 30-45min in their weekly routine (grocery stores etc.) makes sense too, but these are also more expensive to install and operate.
Tesla is down to 54% of US EV sales (it’s much worse globally) and it’s been falling very quickly. So, their battery moat is basically gone, and the need for the recent price drop amid such rapidly expanding EV sales is a really bad sign.

A significant part of that is they lack of a truck option considering how popular the Ford Lightning, Rivian, etc are. Alongside that is the general perception of stagnation among car buyers, the yoke was seen as a gimmick not the refresh the model S is in serious need of.

They just keep fumbling. Consider the amount of bad press they got around the undersized breaks on the Plaid or their 1 foot rollout numbers. What could have been a real halo product did almost as much harm as it helped.
One thing that EV's have an advantage of is the reduced footprint of their drivetrain. The primary bulk of an EV is the massive battery that usually spans the bottom of the car opening up space in the interior or the ubiquitous EV "frunk" this makes for a more spacious interior and the Y takes advantage of this well.

That being said it seems that 2023 is the year of the EV, my family is currently in the market for a new car and have been pleasantly surprised at the breadth of offerings.

I can't really make up my mind on whether the fact that the model Y is the "best selling model of car" is something to hang your hat on these days. It's a great metric, sure, but it's been in a somewhat limited market. On it's face I can see it's appeal - size, space, EV, extra seating - its NOT A MINIVAN. But it seems like a fairly easy moat to breach. One thing about the Corolla was it's build quality was top notch it was a solid, reliable car and it seems more and more lately this isn't a hallmark of Tesla. I wouldn't be surprised for the model Y to keep the mantle of "best selling model" - particularly because of Tesla's lead in its ability to manufacture electric cars and the surface appeal of the model Y - but I wouldn't be surprised if it lost this lead as well.
The justices of the Supreme Court are highly literate -- as well as literal people. Their livelihoods and judgements rely on the meaning of words. Their opinions draw from history, precedent, Latin, analogy, similarity and they have to communicate it through words, not code. In terms that can convey generally understood meaning and principles without having to rehash entire books to ensure thorough understanding. Opinions have included Shakespeare, poetry, wit, sarcasm.

Perhaps you may be disturbed or offended by a phrase that happens to come from the bible. Others are not, and take it simply as a historical analogy. I'm not Christian and I don't find it disturbing. You might be getting overly offended in this case.
You realize the cabin audio is background audio in that video -- edited to be much lower volume than the foreground narrator, right?

> EVs are practically 0-maintenance machines. Unless you need to change your tires... you just don't think about oil changes or motor belts breaking or engine filters clogging and all the other nonsense that breaks in an ICE car.

Until your AC fails in your s/x outside of warranty, or you get unlucky enough to have your Y's heat pump fall apart like thousands of people in cold climates have over the last few years. Both repairs are $5000+ and seem to happen much faster than similar issues in conventional vehicles with belt driven AC compressors.
To be fair, this paper has been made obsolete in its entirety with recent research. It's not really their fault, but folks need to start publishing faster as posters or something if they want to provide something relevant.

And don't forget the lack of control knobs. The stupid touch interface takes drivers attention away from the road.
Even if you total up all the models from other manufacturers, it still doesn't touch the model Y or model 3 for sheer volume. Add all 4 Tesla models up and it's a bloodbath. (This is in the markets people on HN probably care about, North America and Europe. China is another matter.)
Facebook posts are way too long, agreed.
And it works well for it? I have a Remarkable, but never felt like it worked that well with pdfs.

They're both about the concept of consent.

No means no, not "maybe later".

Nope. It is likely dependent on your IP reputation. If your IP has bad reputation they are likely to be more strict.
Children's Games (Bruegel)
Ah! That makes sense! That's a neat strategy!
It's not that they remove it, it's that on certain models 2016-later it was sold as no longer being transferable where it originally was.
Letting Ford use the Tesla charging network is fine, but forcing Ford to adopt NACS is a major step in the wrong direction. The entire rest of the world has converged on CCS, including current Tesla vehicles outside the US, and even Japanese manufacturers have adopted CCS and pretty much given up on CHAdeMO. But nope, instead of taking this opportunity to standardize, Tesla has now guaranteed that at least two incompatible standards will continue to duke it out for years to come in US.
It's encouraging to note that most model Y cars ("standard range") use lithium iron phosphate batteries, which have far fewer problem with fires than lithium iron. Energy density per kilogram of lithium iron phosphate batteries is lower, but has been improving slowly. Tesla had to buy the technology from BYD.

I suspect that in a few years, batteries capable of thermal runaway will be prohibited. They're becoming unnecessary.
600 USD a year is definitely worth it to learn any highly technical topic: mathmematics, physics, chemistry, CS, engineering, etc.

BUT... I'm highly skeptical of any online math course that claims many students have mastered 3-5 years of math in a year. How many hours of study in what subjects? How was mastery measured... did they take the grad school math GRE and ace it? Mastery takes continued practice... I'm highly s

Most online math courses I've looked into [for my friends, my kids, etc.] are "paper thin" and contain less than 25% of the topical matter, descriptive detail, and depth of a good book on the subject... and I'm actually being generous.

I hope your courses are going at least as deep, or offer the capability to, as good books on the various topics. For instance, if linear algebra does not go as deep as Strang + VMLS[0]... folks should just get those two books (VMLS is free), plus watch some youtube, like 3blue1brown.

Edit: btw... not trying to be overly harsh, just skeptical.
If your courses end up being half as good as advertised I'll 100% sign up at some point.

The entire rest of the world, including Teslas outside the US, use CCS. (Yes, CHAdeMO still exists, but even the Japanese are giving up on it.)

The only reason Tesla uses NACS in the US is that CCS did not exist at the time they started rolling out the Supercharger network.
I was wondering how HN was going to spin this. The problem with this argument is that the Model Y by itself outsold the entire BMW electric lineup combined. In fact, 4 times the entire combined amount.

Even worse is they had multiple generations of a RAV4 EV, which they stopped manufacturing in 2014. They made it along side Tesla in the same plant that now makes Model Ys.

But if I take BMW, I see they currently have three all electric models on offer: iX, i7, i4.
An electric Toyota Supra would easily outsell most Tesla's. It's a much nicer looking car than anything I've seen come from Tesla, the interior is so well done too.

It's a shame they've lost it.
Yeah, it looks like a bird throwing up an envelope to me. Wish they'd just make it more apparent that the bottom beak is not a beak, because otherwise it's a slick logo...
In an efficient world, charging costs would have significant time factor to account for opportunity costs. The supercharger network already charges an idle fee if the charger is busy and you don't leave your space when fully charged. The same idea could apply for charging slowly.
You should read Kennedy v. Bremerton School District.
Translation: luxury vehicles are the future of car sales.

Model Y is 2 times as expensive as a Corolla.

Plus you can go and find an older Corolla with 100k+ miles on it and pay perhaps $5k cash for it, then drive it for another 50-100k.

I don't see people in the service industry picking up a used Tesla, now or in the foreseeable future.
It seems like they would be a reliable indicator of bad driving, and moreover, the primary one.
Having a fast car like that also makes road diets less effective, if a car can get up to 60mph in an instant after a speed bump. The altima would take say 10 seconds of the engine sounding like its very angry with you, there wouldn't be time to get up to 60mph before the next speed bump perhaps, and if you drove like that everywhere you went you'd get like 10mpg maybe.

It truly makes no sense why the NHTSA seemingly works so hard with crash testing, yet they see no problems with a 5000lb family sedan that goes faster than a Ferrari F40.
Why would HN people not care about sales in China?
So you don't want remote locking, a reversing camera, automatic brakeforce distribution, antilock braking, airbags, or system diagnostics? I do.

(Let alone the fancy stuff like electronic stability control, blind spot warning, autonomous emergency braking, autodipping headlights, lane keeping, dynamic cruise control, auto-parking, or attention monitoring? Those'd be nice too, probably.)

Things like heated steering wheels, and heated seats with rise and fall motors and motorised windows and mirrors, yeah, OK, I could do without those - but lots of people would disagree.
Link to said research?
The problem is that they're not actually getting the other market either. If they wanted to sacrifice the hacker-types but got more non-hacker-types to use Firefox, I'd be annoyed (since, y'know, I'm the hacker-type), but I'd understand. What they've actually done is sacrifice the things that made them good (other than uBlock Origin, every one of my favorite extensions is dead or degraded) and alienated the hacker-types and still not gotten traction with wider audiences.
What a terrible website. The components are not interactive. They have screenshots instead. And in the left panel when you click on an item you lose the scroll position, and you have to scroll down all over again. The controls and their design are boring as well.
You're being downvoted but I'm not sure you're entirely wrong.

I'm currently buying a Rivian Truck, pricing is straightforward and I could be buying a T-Shirt on a Shopify site. Simple, I know the price and the experience, while not always easy, has been straightforward.

My wife has suddenly needed a new car and leans towards a Mercedes or Audi EV and we're suddenly slammed back into going onto a lot and dealing with the normal car sales bullshit and it's a nuisance. Just test driving a car (which is a fairly significant thing for someone who's not driven an EV) is a high pressure situation.
100%. Automakers go on about the "dealership experience", but I have never hated my life more than when trying to by a car at a local dealership.

- Had a confirmed appointment but when I showed up I still had to wait 45 minutes.

- Salespeople were clueless about the features of the car they were trying to sell. I knew more after 30 minutes of online research and had to constantly call out their bullshit.

- The car I had reserved was somehow no longer available, and then they tried to upsell me on extras I didn't want.

- I wanted manufacturer financing but they told me that wouldn't be possible and I had to get theirs at a much higher rate. I again had to threaten to walk out to get the advertised rate.

- All the dealerships in the area had priced their vehicles at $10K over MSRP, and the extra was pure profit for them. Heck they were making significantly more money on the car than the manufacturer themselves, all because of a government mandated monopoly.

And all this was for a >$50K luxury vehicle.

Meanwhile a friend configured a Tesla online and it showed up at his doorstep a couple weeks later, with the exact advertised price, financing and selections.
Because they are legal fictions only suffered to exist in order to allow people to do risky things.
You're the one that sounds like a bot. Owned a Tesla for the past 5 years, zero issues.
Nope; latency would be about the same, since it requires two rounds for consensus for all ops. Note that Raft itself has no clue about the specifics of the op, whether it is a read or a write, and for leader to be sure it is still the leader, it needs to wait for an answer from a majority of servers. Of course, this is not done for every single op, but batched. Similar methods will have to be used for my suggestion as well.

Now, in many production cases, one tends to put a lease on leader election. Until the lease is valid, the leader is guaranteed that it is still the leader and no one else has a more up to date state. This allows reads to be served from the leader's state machine without having to touch Raft at all.

Every site I build works with JavaScript disabled. I use Next.js with server side rendering so that the initial page load is an accessible HTML document that is progressively enhanced for those with JS enabled during hydration by adding interactivity and smooth client side page transitions without full page reloads.

None of this is possible with HTMX if the user has JavaScript disabled. The first step to using HTMX is to import a JavaScript file from a CDN, and none of the features for partial page replacement will work without it. Whereas with Next.js, with JavaScript disabled, a Link will revert to a full page load where the next page is rendered on the server. It will be progressively enhanced to what appears to be a partial page load by using the same JavaScript that would render the full page on the server to instead render it on the client starting from the current state of the DOM.
