I think the vast vast majority of people (non HN techies) at this stage don't care that nearly as much about self driving as they do about having an electric/Hybrid/PHEV car that's just a great total package of a car - something that the existing car manufacturers are far, far better at than Tesla.

Even manufacturers like Chevy and Ford can run circles around Tesla in terms of overall quality.

Anecdotally in LA which has tons of electric cars, people that originally had interest in the status symbolism of Tesla jumped back to Mercedes, BMW, and Volvo(Polestar) the instant those manufacturers had viable electric options.

People are banging down Toyota's doors for the plugin hybrids. Those people are not buying a Tesla in the meantime. People are just waiting for their existing trusted manufacturers to produce enough capacity.
Imprisonment is far more expensive than housing. SLC ran a pilot program years ago proving the concept.

Of course, if one is the retributive sort, nothing grinds one’s spleen more than someone worse off getting something “they don’t deserve”.

I personally don’t understand why the some exceptionally wealthy billionaire in California doesn’t solve the homelessness problem themselves, expending some mere fraction of their net worth (i.e., the value of a couple bucks to the rest of us).
A lot of these scams evaporate like a soap bubble when someone questions it. All it can take is calling the persons phone to verify that they aren't actually kidnapped.

The tell that this comment is nonsense is the assertion that only major labels count. That's never been true at all and anyone saying that is telegraphing that they aren't really connected to this issue.

Registering with SoundScan and getting UPC/ISRC is trivial and many services (like HN user founded Distrokid) automate portions of it.

None of this is new. Those of us that were on tour playing music in the 90's got used to filling out Soundscan forms on paper at the merch table and finding a way to fax them in. Indie artists have been reporting sales to the charts for decades.

Also there's no such thing as an "unauthorized but legal remix" that's just someone else's song. The parent comment is "not even wrong" levels of wrong.

Not sure about other OEMs but at least Ford's CEO has clarified Ford customers will be able to use the FordPass app to use the tesla chargers.
I'm a engineer with memory problems. If you can build coping mechanisms you get very used to extrapolating and re-formulating things on the fly. But you can also forget edge cases and technicalities more easily.

Ultimately this isn't a one dimensional problem. Better memory is better, bad memory can help build extrapolation skills, but intention and practice can do that too. It's better to have both good memory and good inference.

I remember in math classes I would re-derive most of the trig equations on the back of every test. Meant I had to be faster at solving the problems too.

I don't think the "bad memory helps with novelty" is actually a thing. You can fall into ridged structures of thinking either way.
Don’t have such high expectations from someone who stayed in SF for so long
I realize I'm lucky that I found a group that picked a plan that worked for them. The company overall hasn't set an RTO plan in place, but we're predicting that will happen soon and maybe by demonstrating we already have a hybrid plan that's working, they'll leave us alone.

And maybe that's the solution, if you're willing to do a bit of hybrid work. Get a plan going before you have one pushed upon you.
Electrify America has already spent the money from the court settlement, they need raise money like any other company and make a profit.

> If charging is all pay per use and not a subscription (especially not a subscription you get included with a vehicle)

Those things are already happening on large scale.

The logic you suggest is only true if an independent can easily make a competitive station. The problem is Tesla is mass producing super charges at prices that simply can't be matched by other producers.

There are also economics of scale in terms of routing cars and achieving higher utilization.

Private franchises need to actually make a good profit to be worth setting up. In EV charging the money goes to the equipment provider or the electricity producer. You might make some money with additional services like a shop or a cafe. But in that case you might as well make a deal with a large player like Tesla to put up a station.

Also if your station breaks, you need an repair person to show up quickly. And company that sell charging equipment they mass produced are usually not good at providing those services.

You will also have the disadvantage that the biggest fleet will simply route people to their own stations. Driving down your utilization.

I think most charging networks will be large not individual. We see very few individual DC fast chargers.
To me it looks more like the dotcom era than blockchain. Obviously there's a lot of hype and much of it will be vaporware, but I think there's also some really good stuff that's here to stay. Might be hard to tell which is which if it turns into a bubble until it's over thought...
Shouting nice things at random groups of people is idiotic, and borderline insulting. A bit like throwing money in the general direction of Africa to help the starving. Whatever someone is going through, relating to them as individuals is a good first step.

Having your own little private universe of beliefs that can't be falsified is pretty dumb. There is a city dashboard that shows the disposition of cases presented to the SF DA and the rates of various outcomes have been basically flat for decades. The thing that has changed is the cops have figured out they will still get paid even if they do nothing, or don't even show up. In the decade from 2012 to 2022 the number of cases the SFPD presented fell by half. This has nothing to do with the rate at which the DA brought charges. https://www.sfdistrictattorney.org/policy/data-dashboards/
No duh, any depressed person living in a city or sharing a home could tell you this. To be sure, many ignorant people refuse to listen to the voices of the depressed, but they're likely to refuse to listen to the NIH as well. Willfully ignorant people don't want to be informed, as they find life more enjoyable when they can pick and choose their facts.

I don’t care about having a bad time if it’s the result of a corrupt cop not respecting me exercising my rights. I think it is my moral imperative to use all my rights at all times with cops because it helps normalize it for others who can’t so nonchalantly have a lawyer and afford going to court.

If a cop treats me courteously and greets me kindly and is respectful in doing their job, I will also greet them kindly and wish them well at the end, but I still still say “respectfully, I will provide identification/documentation and confirm basic details about my identity but am otherwise exercising my right to remain silent and to speak with an attorney”. I will acquiesce only very slightly in that I will sign the ticket they give me instead of getting arrested for refusal to sign.

If he wants to make up a reason to arrest me or potentially even harm me, I will fight it in court.
Semaglutide is fucking incredible. Stimulants don’t touch the hunger but this does.
If enforcement and police were an actual solutions, the United States would be the cleanest, safest country on Earth. But we aren't because it isn't.

The real crux of the issue is that the major west coast cities are being tasked with dealing with a nationwide drug and mental health crisis and there just isn't the money to humanely handle the problem. So you end up with people who correctly say that locking people up in prisons for personal drug use is inhumane and doesn't address their problem, while at the same time other folks correctly point out that people should have access to a clean and safe city and not need to watch for needles and human shit.

The federal government needs to provide funding for the west coast states to build more drug treatment centers, funding to train treatment providers, and more funding for mental health services. There are anti-social people who don't belong in jail but can't be on the street, right now there is nowhere for them to go.

> we dont need green lawns, golf courses, swimming pools and car washes.

Sure, we don't "need" anything nice. But few people want to live at a subsistence farming level.

San Francisco (about which the article was written) averages over 20" of rain a year, and with its mild climate, lawns and golf courses shouldn't be a problem.

We need agriculture, yes, but we don't need it to be in the places that it is in at the moment. 30% of all lettuce grown in the US is from Yuma County, AZ[0], which gets low single-digits inches of rain a year. It's farcical, but on its own it wouldn't be a problem as long as the water they do get is from a sustainable source (i.e. not tapping into aquifers that take millennia to fill). It would be much better to grow thirsty crops like that east of the Mississippi, where precipitation is plentiful.

It also previously matched operator9000, so the intent was obviously a simple prefix check, and thus preserving that behavior is essential to avoid breaking userland.
My personal (European) view of what places are of the USA are considered "cool" has completely changed in the last 10 years or so. Before this year I had only been once to the USA, which was as a teenager in Detroit's suburbs many years ago. This year I decided to travel the USA with my wife and kids, but places like San Francisco and New York, which I would have sacrificed a leg to visit not too many years ago, were quite at the bottom on our ranking of places to see. We instead decided to go to Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia, which friends of us described as "boring", which we decided may actually be what we want in these turbulent times. So we went there, had a great time, met wonderful people, and certainly did not regret not going to the "progressive" parts of the USA.

> It would be nice if people like stripe were more upfront about this. They could easily say "We have determined that your business might be high risk for us. If you pay us $1000 (which will be credited towards transaction fees), then we will work with you to mitigate these risks".

Nowadays people are tip-toe-ing around egg shells constantly to avoid being the latest outrage that goes viral, but that would be wildly refreshing to see. Honesty from companies (even internally when you work for them!) is getting so rare that a blunt and honest message like that makes me happy just to think about.

It would be awesome to start a new cultural movement toward radical honesty. Just being able to acknowledge the realities around incentives would be a great start.
> Lower haight is dense and fewer than 2 miles from downtown. I dont perceive the area OP is describing as one I would expect to be free from drug crime even four years ago, whereas I do have that expectation for this region of SF.

The history of Detroit suggests that that can change very quickly.
The Matt Curve is not dissimilar to Ivan Illich's concept of "two watersheds" for a given technology:

The first threshold occurs when a tool (be it something straightforwardly technological like the car, or institutional like formal education or professional healthcare) surpasses the costs required to maintain or use it. At this point, the tool is a net benefit to people.

However, "When a tool-based activity exceeds a threshold defined by the ad hoc scale, it first turns against its end, then threatens to destroy the entire social body... Reaching a certain threshold, the tool, from servant, becomes despot.”[1]

For example, the car goes from something that enables individual freedom, to a basic necessity in a car-dependent society. At this point, the technology has a "radical monopoly"[2], and those without access to it are excluded or no longer able to fully participate in society.

Perhaps this maps to Matt's distinction of "personal" and "social" technology. Supposedly Illich's work was very influential on the early development of personal computers.

So what to do about this?

Illich proposed a reorientation towards "conviviality":

> People need not only to obtain things, they need above all the freedom to make things among which they can live, to give shape to them according to their own tastes, and to put them to use in caring for and about others. Prisoners in rich countries often have access to more things and services than members of their families, but they have no say in how things are to be made and cannot decide what to do with them. Their punishment consists in being deprived of what I shall call “conviviality.” They are degraded to the status of mere consumers.

> I choose the term “conviviality” to designate the opposite of industrial productivity. I intend it to mean autonomous and creative intercourse among persons, and the intercourse of persons with their environment; and this in contrast with the conditioned response of persons to the demands made upon them by others, and by a man-made environment. I consider conviviality to be individual freedom realized in personal interdependence and, as such, an intrinsic ethical value. I believe that, in any society, as conviviality is reduced below a certain level, no amount of industrial productivity can effectively satisfy the needs it creates among society’s members.[1]

But... you have to? You can hide it behind polkit or ACLs or capabilities or whatever but you still have to actually specify the logic.

It's something I'm still annoyed about as we port a realtime application to rtkit: it's the exact same limits you used to have to establish in /etc/limits.conf but now they're in a different place. That doesn't actually simplify anything; you still have to establish the same limits.
Well, according to the article they intend to continue making LCD TVs and you can expect them to get cheaper, so I expect them to have a long life as tried-and-true choices even if they're not being actively researched for improvement.

That's not the problem. If you had cryptocurrency from a lawful business activity in a non-custodial wallet, there are any number of places you can convert it to US dollars, and if you had a dispute with any of them you could use any of the others.

The problem is the easy way to accept cryptocurrency is with a custodial wallet, and then they can be the same kind of jerks as PayPal et al. The premise of cryptocurrency was that it should be decentralized and as yet, it's... not.

The area the OP is discussing is basically a couple blocks from the Civic Center. That's been a pretty sketchy area for pretty much as long as I can remember.

Obviously OP lived there (by choice) but one of the reasons many business visitors get a bad impression of SF is that they're probably staying and attending an event in, shall we say, not the greatest part of town.
> People wonder why Tesla doesn't advertise.

They don't advertise because their word of mouth and media presence is incredibly strong. It's also the same reason I basically had to strong arm the sales center into selling me one of their cars -- the demand is incredibly high.
This is common social media bro science but show me the human outcome data that corroborates this.

How to make your own Selectric Typeballs
I once saw a CS student ask for homework help on Reddit, with a question premised on the course material's attempted formalization of "high level" and "low level" programming languages as a partial ordering based on machine-translatability from one language to the other. The terms "level n" and "level n-1" were being bandied about. Another instance of adding confusion by trying to sharpen the definition of terminology that is probably most useful when it remains fuzzy.

> That sounds hard in any language.

Yes, it is hard in many languages, having experienced it first hand. Just wanted to point out my experience with Elm (I know) 200k loc, I can refactor the codebase fearlessly, knowing that once it compiles it will "mostly" just work.

I fondly remember porting Elm 0.18 to 0.19, which was a big change in the language itself and the libs, me and my co-worker working across time zones almost 24/7 for over a week to make the damn thing compile, it was like struggling in the darkness, unable to see "anything" in the browser for like 7 days and when it finally compiled.. it mostly just worked!

It's sad that to see Elm getting so much negative publicity, but I do enjoy working every day on it.
The Mission District alone is almost 2 square miles. Add in a couple more decent neighborhoods (particularly the Sunset and the Richmond), and you're probably at half of SF's 49 square miles.

The big incumbents (US, EU, Japanese) have high cost bases and may struggle to compete on price with Tesla, as well as emerging Chinese competition.

The real "secret sauce" behind Tesla right now is that they've figured out how to produce affordable, desirable EVs at scale while maintaining industry-leading margins.
> I have no really informed idea why Google dominates with its products.

Mostly because they actually are the best for most advertisers, both in terms of raw offering (publisher portfolio i.e. "reach" and the tools to understand how your ad campaign is doing and tune it) and the third-party ecosystem of tools that have grown up to manage an ad account. Possibly not the best for publishers (see horror stories of failing to cash out in other threads on this story), but when most of the ads you want to run are in one network, you'll go there. Plus, for all its flaws and the failures that occur from it being a high-value target, for a publisher Google still somehow tends to be the automated ad-matching house least likely to match your readers to scamware that will make them unlikely to come back to your site.

Turns out the problem of automatically matching ads to publishers to human eyeballs is legit-hard and only a few companies have the technical competency to do it well at scale.
