The issue seems to be hull integrity, namely being able to inspect the hull before it's failing in order to detect issues without risking anyone's life. The only thing they could do with a carbon fiber hill is use an acoustic hull monitoring that only told you that the hull was in the process of failing - so potentially getting no real warning at all. It does you no good finding out your hull is going to implode in 10 seconds when it will take you an hour to get to safety. This is what the ex-OG employee got fired over because he made a stink about how the carbon fiber hull was unsafe for this reason.
The problem is you end up paying More for what you want because what you want doesn't align with everyone else. These cars are massed produced, so anything deviating from the popular norm ends up becoming custom and costing more, even if the custom design is less complex then the popular design.

Given that everyone else wants those bells and whistles, ironically you get more by paying less which means logically more bells and whistles is the better deal.

A logical person would in turn want the cars with "too much stuff". That is unless you're willing to pay more for less stuff.
Exactly. It’s just simple laws of aerodynamics unfortunately. People might demand non-droplet shaped cars, and some might even buy some. But the majority will look at the significant drop in mileage, or regulators might look at pedestrian safety or range and penalize it in general. Then some of those same people would say something like “beautiful car, love the looks, but not willing to take the range difference. Fix that and we can talk” as if it’s a menu you can pick and choose from.

Why does the public need to know now if that is the case?

I think it's likely the news articles are making it sound more definitive than the Navy was thinking, or maybe the person leaking it to the press was trying to make themselves seem more important or make the Navy seem more omniscient.

It does sound like the Navy reviewed their data they had already collected and discovered the implosion and informed people on site that they likely had a termination event.
Japanese makes were much more reliable when they hit the market, but US automakers did step up during the late 80s, although never to the level of the Japanese.

It really bugs me that native toolkits, and even cross-platform kits like GTK+ or Qt, seem to reject testability.

They want you to open a window and build a widget inside the window. The APIs for rendering to a byte buffer and injecting bogus input events seem kinda weak. If I make my own toolkit, I'll focus on that first. I don't want such a huge part of the app to be an untestable I/O leaf.
It can just be a matter of separating government and society. If you do that, expecting government to follow the law isn't dogmatic at all.

It's also not necessarily dogmatic to believe that you are more informed about an issue than the average person that disagrees with you. Like sure, it can be dogmatic, but it isn't necessarily dogmatic.
> Tangentially, I wish there was some online resources for learning how best design for manufacture for things like laptops and cases.

You are effectively asking for a disclosure of shop secrets. Even in cases of completely no-name factories, there will be so much of clever things nobody would put on a paper.

One factory owner went nuts when we were going with inspection for a client in 2009, just because we clicked seemingly innocuous looking jig which was putting threaded inserts into mould. It later came out that nobody else anywhere had anything like that, and most factories rely on laborious process of manually putting inserts into the mould.

There is so many unobvious things which 99% of people without actual manufacturing experience routinely overlook in ubiquitous items around us.

I once been openning up dozens of laptop samples, and one in 100, from a noname factory had seemingly no ribs in its bottom cover, and seemingly nothing restraining it flexing, and sliding. Then, after days of hair pulling, the secret cracked.. nuts, and screws inside were not meeting

I remember the story of my dad buying a brand new 1982 Buick Century in 1982 with the iron duke 4 cylinder Tech IV engine. This was the 1st year that engine came with electronic fuel injection.

Since they bought the car new they had issues where under certain conditions the car would start to jerk and then stall so you would have to pull off to the side of the road, wait a few minutes then you could start the car agin and continue on. At this point, fuel injection was just starting to become mainstream due to high gas prices, stricter federal emissions standards and was still buggy. The car went back to the dealer multiple times to try to fix the issue to no avail and ironically 3 years later right before the warranty ran out my dad took it to a independent mechanic who was able to determine that the car had the wrong computer installed. You were not dealing with reprogrammable modules in that year. So they replaced it and the problem went away.

These were also the early years of the transition in the US from larger rear wheeled drive cars and lighter, smaller front wheel drive ones. One day my mother was turning to back out of the driveway while the car was fairly new when she heard a bang, one side of the front end dipped and the corresponding tire went flat. What happened is that the mechanism for holding the spring in for the front did not have any kind of a shield, the spring broke and punctured the tire. Had she been driving down the road when that happened it probably would have caused an accident. These days that is common and that is not generally an issue.

I also remember stories of my dad's 1980 Buick Skylark that had a lot of problems with the new electronic controls that were added to the carburetor to aid in fuel efficiency. By the 1990's the quality got better, but it feels like we are in a similar situation with these newer cars. Back during those years my understanding was that they would long for the simpler carbureted engines without all of the crazy emissions controls items that were causing problems and the cars that had frames instead of the newer more efficient unibody cars.

Once it was perfected and things were commoditized it was not an issue, but it feels like we are in a similar situation with the new tech right now.
Some of the junk is from lessons learned the hard way. For example, backup cameras dramatically reduce the chance of you running over your own children in your driveway.

Consider Charles Lindbergh. A lot of people thought he was crazy:

1. trying to fly the Atlantic

2. flying without a relief pilot

3. flying with only one engine

4. flying without a radio

I don't recall if he had a life raft.

Previous attempts had resulted in disappearing forever, and being incinerated in a fireball on takeoff.

BTW, during WW2 the air crews ferried their own B-17s across the Atlantic. Quite a few left Newfoundland and were never seen again. There was no rescue if they went down. Navigation was still primitive. My dad (navigator) was immensely pleased that they hit Ireland within a mile of their goal.

I’m not a fan. Thinkpads have had magnesium enclosures since 2000. I don’t like the framework design or philosophy. You’d have to be insane to buy an Intel laptop for the same money as an ARM Macbook. This reusable thing doesn’t make a bit of sense to me either. Do you really want to be using a 10 year old chassis with new parts? What’s the point of trying to save the environment when the other 8 billion could care less?

> What is it like in Asia

I've spent some years in each of China, Singapore and Japan. I only speak about my experience. I don't think we do a lot tipping in Asia.

Except for tipping part, Chinese companies follows their US counter-parts and excels at the spammy and scummy part, used out all the dark patterns available. One interesting approach were using shake gesture in launch screen to jump to ads, and showing launch screen whenever you switch back, pretending a new launch. Another funny things, almost every company including one of the major ISPs wants to sell you loans at very bad APR.

Singaporean businesses are mostly honest, maybe they want to get you a bad deal on something, but consequences are immediate. You still get fair amount of spams and scammy things (like per-approved checks you are not a customer of) from some legitimate businesses. Food delivery and Uber alike US based companies do occasionally bug you with tipping options, but it's not a thing. I had received least spams and scam attempts in Singapore.

As a current resident of Japan. There's lots of spams too, just some random guy putting the unsolicited ads into your mailbox. Volume like 10/wk or so. As for the scams, yeah, it's also everywhere. You don't tip people in Japan, never do this, it's an insult, even UberEats stopped bugging me about tips.
The car you want exists basically, it's called a Mazda3.
I think the problem is that nobody wants to do a lot of work to make something that will be basically just good enough for hobby projects. There's no money in it, and side projects "for personal fulfillment" tend to avoid the kind of clerical work that compatibility with several different APIs requires: lots of reading, lots of boilerplate (on the framework end), lots of testing, not much freewheeling design and speculation. Hell, IUP (which supports Windows and Gtk) has gone decades without finding someone outside Brazil to maintain a Cocoa port. It's either professional-grade — very complex and needing a corporate backer — or it's not, and a GUI cross-platform compatibility layer is in the uncanny valley. Maybe someone will figure out how to fund it?
Or society is going to take it as seen in a lot of countries.
About half of the items you posted are not really comparable for a lot of reasons:

A high/end LG OLED G3 77 inch TV @ $4,300: Buy one of them to watch shows with your entire family. Want do do that with the Vision? You're either taking turns or forking out $14k for 4 of them.

A Dell XPS laptop @ $4,000: Can be used for many more things than the vision pro seems to be capable of. This is a work device, if you bought the vision pro could you _get rid of_ your work PC or would you need to have it anyway?

A 2005 Honda Civic with 225,000 miles @ $3800: I challenge you to trade in your car for a VR headset. Go on, tell us how much better your life is afterwards.

NBA season tickets mid-“club” level seats @ $4300 (does not include parking, dinner, transportation)
A Barcalounger power reclining loveseat @ $3120

These two are actually comparable in that they're ultimately unnecessary luxury items.

An 11 x 18.5 ft outdoor storage shed made out of plastic and genuine steel frame @ $5274:

I'll just keep my lawnmower inside next to the shelf I keep my Vision Pro on.

These comparisons are ridiculous, I notice you didn't bother mentioning how cheap the Vision Pro is next to a house?

Granted, 1% would still be a lot on this scale. So I'm not saying that as an insult.

Big Corp does this. Small business shops don't know or care about your email address, excessive tips, or extended warranty plans. So try shopping at Mom & Pop businesses. If you pay the inconvenience toll and don't need X at the lowest price, you will get the exact opposite of scummy America. Finding an independent realtor won't be easy, but they do exist. One exception is direct to consumer vehicle sales. You can buy lots of vehicles at MSRP online.
> Every one of them went against conventional wisdom and the laws of physics as they were known or suspected to be at the time.

This is not true of the Wrights. Their first step was to gather together all the known aeronautical knowledge at the time. They relied on them, too, until they discovered the coefficient of lift was off by a factor of two. Then they built their own wind tunnel to determine the correct value.

They also discovered there was no theory of propellers. So they developed their own theory, which turned out to be 90% correct. Their propellers were twice as efficient as their contemporary experimenters were. This means they only needed half the horsepower! A tremendous advantage.

It's definitely more common today, but it did happen even back then. I think part of the issue was that back then more of the population was in the north where the cars would rust before they hit that mileage.

Ironically the private car that holds the world record for the most miles is the Volvo p1800 from the 60's. It wasn't American, but was an interesting feat non the less.
> Given that everyone else wants those bells and whistles

I'd argue that almost nobody else wants all those bells and whistles, but most people want a couple of them. So you wind up with all of them, because people will walk away from a vehicle that doesn't have what they want more than walk away from a vehicle that has too many things they don't.
Sounds fine to me. Maybe depends on your kind of Spanish
An interesting comparison, given how few people actually buy the fold despite the fact that it fully replaces any other phone you might have.

If the Vision Pro replaces the phone in your pocket then maybe it's worth the price. Have fun putting it on in the coffee shop to take a call.
Thanks, that is a good read! I had a similar thought earlier today while listening to a podcast about UFOs: the photos of mysteriously phenomena are always going to be blurry because that's what makes them mysterious. Better cameras cannot change that fact.

Though I had assumed that this "tautological blurriness" would become less common as cameras get better, but you have correctly pointed out that it won't because previously invisible things will now be upgraded from invisible to blurry and mysterious.
Water, fat, etc are not nearly as compressible as air, and the thermal mass of the air involved would be a couple orders of magnitude lower than everything else.

400 bar is (from some quick searching) fairly mild for industrial hydraulic systems, and hydraulic fluid doesn’t get especially hot while in use.

On the other hand, a leak in a pressurized hydraulic system is extremely dangerous if you’re around it due to the extreme velocity of ejected fluid.
Also it's built in obsolescence. The cost to fix stuff after 8-10 years can cost more than the vehicle itself and almost impossible for a DYI fix.
Specific way, more linked to people deaths combined with specific vehicles: Drivers and Formula 1, spaceships and astronauts, etc.

I think it's substantial risk for the core business. To be able to glue usage to invoice, Orb has to become the source of truth and billing engine top of Stripe, while Stripe is still the payment gateway. This creates a fragmented world where the customer has to use both systems simultaneously; this is challenging especially that Stripe ships features fast and frequently, leaving the customer exposed and vendor locked.
Not quite what you're asking for, but you can click after the first bracket and then use the "Go to bracket" command to get roughly the same thing. You'll have to add a keybind for it though, there isn't one by default.

Does everyone else want those bells and whistles or have we come into that impression through some misinterpretation? I don't know anybody that wants all that shit. For those who do, upon the misadventure whereupon they are informed of the costs of overcomplicating I suspect there is a large proportion of people who won't want it in short order. I also suspect a large contingent of people who buy into the marketing and upon facing reality, are silently disappointed. And finally people who are somehow insensitive to cost, and disappointment.
Assuming I understand you question: you can define an interface to describe what an object parsed from JSON contains, and then cast your raw JSON-parsed object into that type.

The casting doesn't guarantee the JSON from your server fits the interface, but it WILL ensure any downstream use is correct, and also enable auto complete for its fields (assuming your IDE supports it).
