There's a number of interface conventions - especially about really important things - that "legacy" car manufacturers have standardized on but that Tesla jettisons. I frequently rent cars for travel, ride-share, etc., and while there's differences between them all, even if I can't figure out how to sync my phone (say), I can still drive any of them safely and comfortably within a matter of moments. Things like how a turn signal works are baked into my muscle memory. I haven't had the pleasure of driving a Tesla yet but wouldn't be surprised if the change-for-change's-sake is frustrating.

Actually, I worked on OpenAddresses, a project to parse thousands of CSV files containing address data from many different county, state, and national systems around the world. It really wasn't that hard, even Python's basic csv parser was sufficient to the task (and there are plenty of better options).

CSV is remarkably robust in practice.

> Switching from wide to long is a simple operation, commonly called a "melt". Unfortunately, it's not available in SQL.

That's not completely true. In most SQL databases you can query information about the table, and this is true for Sqlite too. You cannot use this information to have a query with a "dynamic" number of columns, but you can always generate the query from the metadata and then executed the generated queries. It is not exactly fun to do as a one-liner, but it works:

> curl 'https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-hist.csv' | sqlite3 -csv ':memory:' '.import /dev/stdin stdin' '.mode list' '.output query.sql' "select 'select Date, ''' || name || ''', ' || name || ' from stdin ;' from pragma_table_info('stdin') where cid > 0 and cid < 42;" '.output stdout' '.mode csv' '.read query.sql'

(yes, you're also left with some temporary file on the computer).
Many webservers allow you to serve a compressed file (stored on disk) and _decompress_ when a client specifically can't support the compressed encoding. Since most clients should support compression, this means you only use the CPU for the rarer case where the uncompressed data is required.

Look at coffee. The gradual shift from Arabica to more Robusta beans over a generation. Each year, an imperceptible shift was taken that, over decades, lead to coffee that tastes terrible. Opening the door for companies like Starbucks and a ton of gourmet roasters to compete.

They were both full of absolutely horrid page layouts with huge margins full of irrelevant information, just absolute garbage.

* Knobs, please. I use touch to control the peripherals on my car. I do not want to take my eyes off the road

I returned my S90 at the end of a two year lease. The self driving was frightening. It often drifted out of the lines then would jerk back into the lane then disable itself without warning.

Also, the start/stop (or w/e it's called whereby the engine turns off when you stop) was such a jerky experience and sometimes it would turn off before I even came to a complete stop.

The infotainment system was terribly slow and would take almost a minute after starting for it to become responsive. Typing into the nav was especially sluggish and unintuitive. One time the AC crashed (not the HVAC unit, the computer module) and I had to take it in for a software update to fix.

The luxury, look and feel, and comfort were fabulous! The drivetrain and tech were trash!

From my understanding speculation is one of the reasons bitcoin works as a payment mechanism.

If bitcoin was literally worth 0, any one company could decide to make money on it by using Bitcoin as their personal stablecoin. That would be enough to facilitate payments: one person buys BTC from the company above the fixed price, the other person sells below the fixed price.

But thanks to decentralization any other company can jump in and start doing the same, compete on the spread of prices.

If the price of BTC is too low at a certain time, all of available BTC gets tied up in transactions. There is more demand for BTC-minutes in that hour than there are BTC-minutes. So the companies can temporarily raise the price when they see it happening.

This makes the price of BTC float above the peg depending on the amount of BTC available for sale and the load on the Bitcoin-as-payment-mechanism network. And if the peg is low enough, it is never really reached.

If this theory is close enough to truth, then the instability of Bitcoin really is fundamental: less of a design flaw, more of a (rather severe) trade-off.

Though I wonder if it's possible to construct a stable derivative based on future estimates of the load on the network: a unit that can be used to compare prices of BTC-minutes at different times in the future.

This is something that powers a lot of data interchange but lots of people don't realize because they never work with older systems like that. It's not shiny. No frameworks.

I used to work for a large, old company whose products you have all bought and buy (and which shall remain nameless) about 15 years ago. I worked on data interchange between the systems used for record keeping of said products and various other downstream or parallel systems (same purpose, separate system because left over from merger/acquisition).

So basically bulk data import and export. The product was 15 years old at that point. Data interchange was via various fixed width or delimited (CSV but the C might be some other character or character sequence) files transferred to and from various SFTP servers.

It's been a while but there were probably like 20 or 30 different such data sources or exports going in and out. Worked like a charm. I bet they're still used without much change. The frontend was being rewritten at the time (old one was in Smalltalk).
“Secure”. So what audits or certifications do they have verifying it is secure? What is the operational domain and against what threat models?

That there was a surge in numbers of explosions in East Ukraine is not Russian propaganda, everyone agrees it happened.

That the surge in shelling was Ukraine-initiated against Russian-backed separatists (and not vice versa coordinated from Moscow as part of the prelude to its own invasion)—and, even moreso, that even if it was, a Ukrainian offensive against separatists in Ukraine (and not even against the openly Russian-occupied part) was a reasonable basis for seeing a threat of NATO invading (or backing an invasion of) Russia—is the Russian propaganda.

Lets take a very particular variable. Every month or so, central/state banks in every country have a meeting to decide the policy rate. They look at some data and the output of some models, then wave some political magic wand over it and make a decision about which direction to move the rate. Then they make a statement like, "our decision will decrease inflation over the next three quarters by this much."

The data they use is usually publicly available, the models used by these must not be very secret. Is it not possible to hook this all up into a nice package, where I can go in and tune some knobs to my liking (there will always be knobs) to get a prediction on the inflation over the next three quarters.

Then, I can publicly claim, "Given this data, and this model, and my knob settings, here are my prediction." Then some other economist can come and dispute the data, model and the knob settings. They select a different data source, model and their own knobs.

Then three quarters later we check who made the right prediction.

Notice, I am not asking for the correct model of reality. Only a playground where people can argue using concrete data, models and knobs.
There are two things going on here:

* The author seems to be a bit older
* The author drives an older car at home

As a younger person who drives an old car, I too had to spend some time reading the car manual to figure out how to adjust things like automated breaking and steering assist when I rented a new model Camry on a trip earlier this year. The Tesla likely has even more features, but the idea that you can just jump in to a brand new car and understand everything about how to use it seems far fetched.

Couple that with someone who is older and perhaps doesn't have as much intuition for digital user interfaces and you get what's in the article.
