We had a first-year X1. Starter went after ~10,000 miles. Dealership was garbage (hence my comments above), but still towed us home and dropped off a loaner-car for the ~week it took to fix. Annoying, wasted ~hour waiting for toe truck to pick us up; but overall not a horrendous experience (despite piling 3 adults and 2 dogs into toe truck).

I had a 2010 Impreza, ~first month or two of ownership - dashboard went nuts and i pulled over. Car got towed to dealership - they found nothing wrong. Lost an evening and no loaner car in the ~48h it took them to determine 'nothing wrong'. Two 'new' cars - vastly better experience with one than the other.

Anecdotal of course; but

You get that with any car - my Tacoma was indestructible and still had multiple recalls I had to drop it off for.

You are correct if you're talking driving a car into the ground though - I'd vastly rather have a 10 y/o v6 Taco than an 8 y/o supercharged Dakota.
Unlike Reddit Discord has a good client. Reddit forcing people on its official app is the issue, and would be less so if it was any good. As it is, it's not, because of a long list of bugs (as egregious as not displaying the right post, videos not playing...) and a long list of misfeatured (e.g. recommending me subreddits I have zero interest in, while the fact that I'm subscribed to dozens of subs might suggest I have content discovery dialled in...).
Wrong. I'm not passing anything around.

I'm borrowing against my existing equity.

Just like I own a house. I can go to the bank, ask for a loan against the equity in my house. The bank then hands me cash.

That's a totally valid use case and possible today. The best part is that I don't need any sort of permission to do so. No credit checks. No banks. No government involvement.

In fact, it is so possible, the market for this on a single platform is over $7.8 BILLION. https://aave.com/
It's the default, and I guess people mostly won't notice if it blocks too much. So the effect would be pretty similar.

An enum stores a small reference to the enum value in the tuples, and the constraint approach stores the string itself. The constraint approach takes more space with (a) larger enum values, (b) more columns using them, and (c) more rows in the tables that use them. The difference depends on the characteristics of the database we're talking about.
You can see the path that was taken to get to those 20 levels. Without stack traces, you're left to manually peruse the code base to figure all those out.
It's really easy to use it without violating policies.

The self-driving car level system is stupid because it is implies linearity but it is absolutely not.

It also implies that higher level == better, which is certainly not a given. Is a system that can drive well on 10% of roads 99% of the time better than a system that can drive on 90% of roads 80% of the time? Not objectively. The former is "level 3" and the latter is "level 2".

A solution that can get you to 3 quickly might never get you to 4. And just because you beat someone else to market with "level 3" doesn't mean their solution won't skip over yours straight to 4/5.

When I was taking organic chemistry my (mid-to-late 60s at the time in ~20010) teacher told us an anecdote about benzene when we started learning about aromatic molecules. She told us that they used to clean their lab bench with benzene solvent to make it sparkling clean. Of course, she also told us it was carcinogenic and then finished by saying a lot of her contemporary colleagues that went into organic chemistry research were now dead. Really drives home that a lot of safety precautions and practices are "written in blood", so to speak.
Nobody?

I shipped my car several times back and forth between USA, Europe, and Australia because the rental cost would have been more than the shipping cost.

RoRo shipping my car cost round trip $1,600 last year USA/Europe plus $300 insurance rider.

Three month rental, plus rental insurance versus rider on my insurance? Rental would be approximately $3,100 car and about another $1,800 for insurance.

I am nobody.

> It’s their biggest moat as far as I’m concerned.

It’s their biggest moat IFF it’s limited to Tesla’s and their charging stations.

If every car adopts their charging port/socket and every charging station (Tesla and non-Tesla) supports Tesla’s port/socket then the most diminishes and ultimately disappears.
The flipside is that you hardly ever have to bring a Tesla into the shop. In the end they are fairly cheap to maintain.

Because "the market" doesn't actually fix shit, even if water rights were anything like a market system in california. The ONLY thing a market does is incentivize people to increase profits, period. Unless you can tie proper better water management DIRECTLY to increased profits, with ZERO ALTERNATIVE WAY TO DECREASE WATER COST, the market will do ANYTHING other than reduce water usage. For example, if it's cheaper to lobby the government of california to force citizens to use less water, then that's exactly what will be done. Which is what HAS been done for at least a decade.

"The market" isn't magic, despite what your Economics 101 youtube channel of choice says.
> An app isn't going to make me buy a car or Tesla equipment. Aesthetics, utility, and cost are my main purchasing decision dimensions

The interesting thing is: There's confirmation bias in this, but every single person I've talked to who owns a Tesla might have said this before owning one, but would now never say it afterward. It does things you never know you needed, until you have it, and then you're shopping for cars afterward and your standards go up. Wait, the infotainment still has a resistive touch-screen which runs at 45fps? The maps won't automatically route me to nearby chargers and give me a battery charge prediction for arrival that learns from my driving habits?

Oh, here's an interesting one: Teslas have (configurable) cabin overheat protection. Maybe some other brands have this as well, I don't know, but: the cabin never gets above 100F, if you have more-than 20% battery, and it doesn't cause that much drain (maybe ~3%/day, maybe more in Arizona or Texas). In other words; you never have a hot car, and you don't fuddle with remote start / "turn the AC on 10 minutes before I leave" / whatever. Its just... never all that hot; and you don't notice it until you get in a traditional car that's been sitting in the parking lot all day, sticky leather seats and its 120F inside.

All I can say is: Your mindset is probably more a reflection of your environment than any more foundational principals; and if you want to keep it that way, I'd recommend that you don't spend any significant length of time driving a Tesla.

Something rushed out the door without due diligence is technical debt. Too strict deadlines lead to sloppy codebases, and typically no testing was done. Then there's fighting old monolithic codebases that slow everything down like treacle, when a whole new rewrite needs to be done, which is expensive and annoying, and therefore postponed for as long as possible.

It's all shades of grey. Look at C#, it's a statically-typed high-level language which runs in a VM, but can also be compiled to native code. It has a massive standard library and can do all sorts of script-y things (see eg, top-level statements), but can also be tightly optimized to avoid GC allocations. You can mess with pointers in unsafe blocks.

The only thing it really can't do is kernel code.

Even C++ is incorporating more and more high-level constructs.
This is such a wasted opportunity, not just for the US, but across the Middle East. I guess Jordan is availing themselves to some degree, though, but it's also out of necessity, due to the refugees living there.

I used to drink soda as a fidget. I needed something to stim while poring over shitty code trying to extract cleverness. The preponderance of free soda situations in the 90’s tells me there were a lot more of us hiding in plain sight. Several times I switched to water or tea and lost 10 lbs pretty quickly. Usually after bad news from the dentist.

That’s not a weight-loss plan though, that’s a fit-back-into-your-current-wardrobe plan. People with “weight problems” are generally on an upward slope and a point source puts a notch in the graph, it doesn’t zero the slope or take it negative. What it does say, if anything, is that there are factors we can control that moves the needle, but they are the journey not the destination.
Yep. This is one of the huge reasons why I avoid doing business with/depending on/being exposed to tech companies, especially of the FAANG variety. It is demonstrably too risky.

> it is my moral imperative to use all my rights at all times with cops

This is a poor standard, that I doubt you're actually meeting. For example, when you drive through a construction zone, do you flip off every cop you see in order to maximize your right to free expression?

I do actually agree with where you're coming from! It's just that the standard you've claimed leaves much to be desired - it's framed in a closed world zero sum way, which only makes sense if you're only considering the times you have no choice but to interact with cops.

Like for example, I have yelled at a cop doing construction duty (poorly) to "do your job" - traffic was backing up because he was looking the other way and chatting, rather than making sure cars kept moving.

I have laid on the horn at some undercover car setting up to harass some kids in a strip mall parking lot, because it stopped in the entrance to the lot with me half stuck out into the highway. Ended up drawing aggro and getting an earful about how I was disrupting their investigation about drugs blah blah blah. But at the end of the day they want to attack the people they set out to attack, rather than a side quest of hassling me because I called them out.

If a cop passes me on the highway at high speed with no lights (ie not an emergency), often times I will follow them under the rationale of equal protection under the law.

I'm sure I'll get jumped on for explicitly listing these things - people wielding "privilege" or another truncheon-of-the-day, thinking they're "progressive" but really just wanting to enforce the crab bucket. But there was principle in all of them - cops are citizens like everybody else, and should be subject to the same laws and responsibilities as everyone else. And it's all citizens' moral imperative to enforce that.

So back to the topic - the context is being pulled over for something that you are actually "guilty" of, but aren't necessarily going to get a ticket for (cf 3 Felonies a Day). Of all the times I've been pulled over, I'd say about half resulted in just a warning. So it's not that the cop will make up a reason to ticket you, but rather that they already have that reason but perhaps will show you mercy. Once I'm in their direct sights, to me the optimal way to play is whatever is most likely to make them let me go. If that involves playing the part of someone who enjoys licking boots? So be it! Dissent is better expressed in contexts where you aren't already in their sights.
I don't like this approach much because getting cryptic integers when you do a `SELECT` in the database is really cumbersome.

I'm experiencing the same massive pain point from Twilio. Our business sends survey links to about 300 people a day who have all opted in. We've been doing this for 7 years. Our undelivered rate had been under 5% for years. It's now at 33% and is threatening our business.

Twilio's support has been absolutely dismal. They say things like "Your number is not attached to your campaign" and show a screen shot from their admin screen, but when I point out it is all connected in the console: they respond with the generic Twilio links about A2P implementation.

Has anyone figured out a solution? ... I'm happy to switch to another company at this point.

I guess your mileage might vary. If you're keen on a particular app and you can't make it work, that's a frustration. So far I haven't found any reason to come back to a standard OS, and I appreciate my phone not sending constant signals to Apple or Google to the tune of hundreds per day.

Seems like they’re going to get sued if the passengers and crew aren’t saved. Possibly even if they are saved. Maybe the contract they get people to sign is tight enough, but everything I’ve read so far seems like they were a bit reckless. They don’t have to inspect their hull for issues every dive; they have real time monitoring of the health at all times! We just pop them back up when we discover an issue…

But what if that issue is detected at a depth at which nothing can be done? At a depth where death is imminent no matter what? The thing is held together with RV lights and a crappy Logitech controller from Amazon. What else have they elected to skimp on?

The “why Titan isn’t classed” page is hilarious too. They mention of the 25 pre checks they have, the majority are for surface operations, not underwater operations. Does not give one confidence and reads like a joke after this debacle.

Another famous example would be AFL - the racism on display not just in the stands but within the teams and the AFL org itself, would be unimaginable in any other country. Imagine if fans, teammates, coaches etc abused black NFL players the way black AFL players get abused. It would not be tolerated, and it would never happen, it's completely unimaginable.

These are not cherry picked examples, they're just two manifestations of the massive problem.

If you want to be reductive, you can say the same about delivering knowledge over the internet.

You get "90%" of the value of the world's best library - access to information - but lose things like a well-organized professional scheme, expert humans to assist you with your queries, and the ability to fill up a table with a bunch of books and reference materials side by side vs what you can fit onto your screen at once.

But you also add some new things - you don't have to travel, multiple people can use it at once, etc - that all basically could be thrown into the "10% the cost" bucket: a company doesn't have to spend to send researchers around, they don't have to wait, etc.

And publishers and artists of course were convinced that the internet would be the death of their current business models, that they were just extractive tools, not creative, and bad for their world; and weren't exactly wrong.

They're both just moving bits around and summarizing more than doing the original research to figure out atomic theory, say. But "10% the cost" - and especially "10% the time required" unlocks A LOT of ability to do more, fancier things. As does bypassing gatekeeping requirements (pay to travel, pay to have marketing copy written, pay/have connections to get access to the right archives, "sponsor" an artist to create stuff personally for you...).

I think ChatGPT is generally bad as a creative agent (vs a carefully used tool) and is gonna result in the internet being full of even more low-value BS than before, but I think it's inaccurate to say that it's not going to unlock anything new. It's just gonna look way different than today's internet.
