I think the cybertruck will sell very well for consumer and fleet. Probably good for Tesla to have extra inventory of S, X, 3 Y so they can make enough trucks
Meta was/is doing similar shit. WfH -> % RTO and assigned desks -> shared desks.
I pay for Tidal’s highest tier because you can get a fairly high number of albums in Dolby Atmos which sounds great at home and even the AirPods Pro will do their spatial audio thing with 5.1-channel tracks. It’s not surprising that I can hear a difference in this situation, I suppose.

I don't need to, if they changed it then it would go to the top of HN for a day at least. That is much better than some random extension creator that can sell it to a malicious actor at any point, that isn't news so would likely go under my radar.

Nice to read about this experience but there is a missing component:

Modern diet is not what we evolved to eat.

Until recently there was no agricolture, no bread, pasta, pizza or bakery.
There was no basket of fruit readily available every day of the week (it was an occasional treat when in season).

I had to lose weight a few times in my life (10kg, not too much) and I always struggled and counted calories like a maniac.

The last time I was not only 10kg overweight but I had some severe stomach pain. After 2 years of struggling I tried the carnivore diet.
In a week, all my stomach issues disappeared and I lost 8kg in a couple of months, without counting calories. If I eat animal fat I'm simply not hungry: I can't overeat.

Demonising fats and meats was the worst thing society did and definitely contributed to the overweight epidemics.
Agreed with most of what you say, except:

> YC is more similar to going to college than working at a company.

The 3 ways you mentioned are also critical for a successful company.

1. Strong connections: you want to make strong connections in your company. That is what your network is and those connections help you in countless ways like referrals, job search or mentorships.

2. A company with "tougher, savvier, and more formidable" employees can wipe the competition against a company who doesn't have this kind of workforce. If zoom didn't work for YC to foster this, then why do you think it will do the trick for companies?

3. More fun - I really prefer a workplace which is fun than the one which is not. A fun workplace also helps with stronger connections with colleagues (#1).

My actual experience also aligns with these observations. In-person workplaces really produced stronger connections, more fun and better/stronger teams. Fully remote companies simply never had that level of camaraderie.
When you owe the bank enough money, and you can't pay... you don't have a problem. The bank has a problem.
Technology is technology, it's about exploiting the laws of nature to do things.

If you want to create refined metals you'll need to heat it, you'll need a source of heat, and you'll need to isolate it from the surrounding water long enough to finish the process.

Being underwater makes a lot things much much more difficult or impossible.

That's even ignoring your species won't be incidentally exposed to sources of easy energy like fire occurring naturally before learning to create it yourself.

There's certainly workarounds and alternatives that could make it _possible_ to develop technologies like fire, metallurgy, complex chemistry, etc. but they'll all be so much harder to discover and do that no early civilisation would consider the required experimentation worthwhile.
There is a variety of confounding factors taken into account.

Travelin’ man and woman: Taking to the road and the boxcar
It's the same logical process. A list of public keys that are trusted for installations are already kept in the OS. When updating, first they download packages are public key updates, and signed with the old key.

The user is also alerted if this key update happened because there may have been a private key compromise, or if this is a cryptographic strength/algorithm update, or a key rotation etc.

Once the user decides to verify the information, do their research - and approve, the new keys are now used to verify signed packages. So on and so forth.

The deal is that you do not rely on TLS to fetch this package update information at all. You merely download the signed hashes required to verify package authenticity and proceed.

Debian's verification process is here:
https://www.debian.org/CD/verify

Even before the OS exists, it tells you that so-and-so is their public key, download the ISO, verify the signed hashes with their public keys. Once you trust and install with this ISO, the update process can take care of the rest.

In the article, Asher and presumably the rest of their industry has many legal avenues for acquiring data. Such as directly from the government:

No market is open. Every country more or less handles the same principle. If there is a local threat things will get stricter for the foreigner.
The article is talking about demand in Germany, which fell because a subsidy for corporate buyers expired leading to a large drop in German corporate EV purchases. 70% of the EVs from a particular VW plant in Germany went to corporate buyers, so they are making cuts at that plant.

It doesn't really have implications for other EV plants or other countries.

Range and price still holding me back. I’d love to own one otherwise.
What causes Tesla's demand to be so high ? price only ? or did VW EV effort failed ? I didn't read about it but it, but last year or so, IDn cars prototypes were reviewed favorably.

yeah everything non-Tesla is a complete non-starter for me until they actually use the harmonized charging network, so I guess the 2025 models?

Tesla models are a somewhat starter, too few options in look

and then the price

and its a weird quagmire, the people that can afford to live in dense high cost of livings cities are the exact target audience for EV’s but have the most perplexing and inconvenient charging arrangements, while suburban homeowners are like “I just slow charge everynight to an AC outlet in my garage, you’ll never notice the range, its not an issue bro” completely oblivious about the problem

then once the harmonized charging network takes off, its not even clear if the electric grid can handle it, which isnt my problem for sure, but funny to think about. solve this issue and the next one comes quickly
I’ve found that function head pattern matching and guards get you very close to the benefits of types.
Tesla’s been dropping price, so they too must be seeing softening demand.
> I always see people remark "wow look how snappy old computers were" when they're essentially built like $10,000 machines if you were to actually have those specs at that time.

But the question is that, if you were to spend $10,000 or more today will you experience the same snappiness.

I would argue that it's impossible to replicate the low-latency experience of "retro" systems today with the overhead of modern software; no matter how much you are willing to spend.

When latency decreased with faster connections but in an environment with packet loss, a new problem emerged: TCP incast collapse. There was plenty of available bandwidth but TCP transfers would slow down, sometimes to a crawl, without QoS, packet shaping, or bandwidth limitations.

Mitigations include high resolution retransmit timers (RTO) and FQCN.

Didn't help: SACK, TCP Reno, and New Reno.

People don't like to admit it, and companies will never say it, but a lot of recent "layoffs" have been polite ways to get rid of low performers. It's not a surprise that after dropping some dead weight companies want to bring in some new people. It's just that they can't come out and say it like that.
The impression I have from your comment is that you think that the US is unusually bad at this? Which seems a bit hard to square with no other country having sorted out a caries vaccine either. Including many rich countries with socialized medicine.
This is very inspiring. I'm in a similar situation! I'm also the only tech person for a small ecomm company, I'm just not the owner :)

More accurate on the S/X to say they're not enough demand in RHD. Same reason they're not available in Australia.

I don't think that logic holds: Nitter can render an HTML representation just fine. It's not because it's a "social media site" that there cannot be an HTML+CSS representation.

Anyway I don't think disabling javascript wholesale is workable these days, so complaining about that is not very constructive (i.e. I sort of agree with you). Especially for open source products, those people should feel free to contribute or sponsor a non-JS version rather than complaining to volunteers to do a ton of extra work for what I suspect is literally no more than a few dozen people on the globe (particularly with noncommercial software like mastodon which isn't going to be annoying when JS is turned on).

I should start complaining that sites don't look nice with CSS disabled :P (Sometimes I turn css off using an extension to avoid the rules that make the text thin+gray on a grayish background.)
Working in Tech, I love a lot about electric cars. I just have a few issues I cannot seem to overcome (this is a personal ME thing about EV's and some new gas vehicles, your mileage may vary....pun intended).

All new cars spy on you (well most do), but EV's are completely software driven and seem to be more intrusive. I want a car I can connect to the internet when I want to for updates and that is it. I also want android auto and the apple one for my wife, I do not want a proprietary (Tesla) entertainment system.

I want right to repair. It is my car if I spend that much on it, I want to do to it whatever I want.

I want all the equipment in the car to work when i purchase it and no monthly fees (I get it for XM Radio, I am talking like seat heaters and such).

For some reason it also irritates me Tesla can increase mileage with a flip of a switch (Like they were going to do in Florida for a hurricane a while back). So you are telling me they could of been build with smaller batteries and save money and the environment, but they were not so you could have a software upgrade (or was that a monthly payment as well). Also the fact Tesla can remote disable my vehicle, and purchased upgrades do not transfer to the new owner.

I can probably go on and on with my whining, but that is why i still have 2 gas guzzlers and a motorcycle (newest vehicle is 2008, 2005 Honda van has 270,000 miles on it). They are paid for an yes a little maintenance here and there but that is not enough to make me spend $30k + on an electric vehicle.
It seems strictly worse to use ORDER BY in this case, since if you're using SKIP LOCKED you should be doing parallel processing anyway, and if you're doing parallel processing, ordering is already going out the window.

"where merchants accept payments in a format that can immediately be turned around and spent"

Cash already does that and so does my chip n pin card.

There's an advertisement showing in the UK that lampoons crypto. A bloke buys some onions from a stall (ie direct sale from field to consumer) and he is asked which crypto he will use to pay with. The putative buyer says he has a fiver (cash).

Blockchain transactions require time to work. The ledger has to be updated correctly by agreement with the rest of the network to work and that takes time. I can do a tap to pay and my phone beeps within a very few seconds to note a transaction.

> This makes me better appreciate why Homotopy Type Theory might be useful in a type system: It allows for a simple but inefficient version of a type to coexist with a faster variant of that type. The type system could be made aware that those are two different ways of representing the same mathematical object.

Okay I've been thinking a lot about this problem of multiple representations.

Is there any language that actually uses this equivalence of types as a way to select between different ways to represent the same data?

An use case would be something like, a smart list type that will select between a growable linear vector, a copy on write persistent list, etc. and select between them based on a) which operations you do to the list (for example, if you use it in a linear fashion, it doesn't need to be persistent), and b) user annotations in code.

Another use case is to define unary peano numbers like data Nat = Zero | Succ Nat and have the type system understand automatically this doesn't need to be stored like this, and is in fact the same as a (big) int. Some languages have special-casing for this, but this could work generically as well.
Some softness is to be expected considering the current macro and rising interest rates, but when people want EVs they’re buying Teslas.

What you're saying is repeated constantly through this discussion, but it's very misleading. There is a border dispute and that land is a part of the dispute.

Another reading of the situation is that Serbia can claim that the land is a part of Croatia because they've allowed people to inhabit it and it's contagious to Croatian land, given that 'Liberland' has no legal basis.

Given that Croatia has no good options here, they've chosen the least harmful option.
They have good brand visibility. Like Apple. I won’t say that their product isn’t differentiated, but it isn’t offering much that’s spectacularly divergent from other brands.

This is not an issue in Europe fwiw, all cars use CCS2 there. In most european cities you probably have a parking garage if you have a car (and sure you have to deal with the HOA), street parking is an absolute nightmare there.

Another benefit of this is that you're guaranteed that the transaction is completed before the job is picked up. With redis-backed queues (or really anything else), you very quickly run into the situation where your queue executes a job depending on a database record existing prior to the transaction being committed (and the fix for this is usually awkward / complex code).
Considering how many times our 5yo VW has been in the shop for major system breaks, I wouldn’t want to get a whole-new-drivetrain VW without massive warranty protection. We have a 15yo Toyota that’s been in the shop far less.
