Its all a hot mess. All of their cars just feel like they are a compromise. From panel gaps to random electronic issues. It's all spin and marketing. I have moved away to the Taycan and it is a much better car. I have a neighbor who doesn't wash his Tesla because the panel gaps make water come in at a car wash. It's so funny to see. Tesla brought electric cars into the zeitgeist and they deserve credit for that but they never made good cars since maybe the first Model Ss.
Currently only 1% of vehicles are electric. So it’s going to be a while.
This article promotes a narrative that privatization leads to more renewables. This point lacks nuance as different energy markets that employ privatization can have wildly different ways to involve private firms and vastly different outcomes.

1. The retail competition of Texas, which has the highest renewable energy production in the U.S. [1], but is also a market where consumers overpay for electricity [2].

2. The regulated competition of California where municipalities have the ability to buy electricity in bulk and pass the savings onto the consumer. This ironically leads to more local government involvement in electricity procurement, and also gives private electricity generators more customers to sell to and rate payers at least two options to choose from. This leads to lower electric rates and higher renewable adoption, with some municipalities reaching over 90% renewable adoption [3].

3. Then you have what I call the energy tyranny of Arizona where ratepayer dollars are directed into the pockets of shareholders through legal fictions of “fair and reasonable return” for private investor owned utilities. Private companies are granted monopolies and guaranteed profits. Any form of competition is suppressed, community Solar is essentially rejected by the utility board [4], and the state legislature repealed competition laws to prevent it from being used to compete with utilities [5]. Renewable generation is just 10% of the states energy supply [6] despite having the most favorable conditions for solar in the nation.

> Is that true at scale? If I tell the telecoms that I want to send a billion messages per year it seems like they might be willing to take a lump sum instead of setting up the systems to bill based on usage.

In most of the world, SMS is billed per-message, so it's basically no extra effort on the Telecoms side at all. In fact, Telecoms' online charging systems are fast enough to calculate users' data usage by seconds in real time, so they don't even blink at counting SMS.
> Why is it you feel that Bertrand Russell had mental health challenges?

Dim recollection from what I've read. But if you ask your favourite search engine for 'bertrand russell mental health' you'll get plenty of hits. Eg https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/01/04/29/r... or https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Michael-Fitzgerald-6/pu... or https://medium.com/young-polymaths/in-their-20s-bertrand-rus...

He also had quite the family history of madness (to use a contemporary term).

Yes, for Cantor it's a bit harder to say. We can definitely find enough environmental triggers.

(Not) coincidentally, I grew up close to whither they exiled Cantor.

> There are many many logicians and set theorists, only a few make the "whackiest intellectuals" list - I personally would class Russell as well balanced, Alonzo Church as quite sensible, Dana Scott as pretty solid, . . . etc.

Well, the problem is that no one on your list has an Umlaut in their name. If you want to do really important fundamental work, that's almost a requirement.

Jokes aside, Raymond Smullyan was also a splendid fellow who did important work. And, a magician (and concert pianist), too. Just to come back to the topic of the article.

> There is no reason for there to be such messaging incompatibility between iOS and Android. My feeling is that Apple knows the regulatory winds are shifting very much against anticompetitive behavior, and their iMessage incompatibility was just looking like the blatant protectionism that it is.

iMessage is and always was for iPhone users to communicate with other iPhone users. It will send messages over SMS as a fallback but it was only ever for use in communicating with other iOS devices in the same way iOS is only for Apple devices.

I see all arguments to force Apple to open up iMessage as punishing them for building a platform that people want that the majority of the US has bought into.

And android is bigger everywhere outside the US.

Also Europe has already solved this. If you want to talk to iPhone and android users in Europe you just use WhatsApp or another third-party service.

Why must Apple dilute the experience to communicate with folks not on its platform?

In electric car charging Tesla built out the super charger network investing billions in service of making their cars more useful. (iMessage is this to iPhone users.) there’s another standard out there or handfuls of other methods of charging cars but the market leader is the super charger network. And wouldn’t you know? Folks are adopting it because Tesla is licensing it but it was their choice.

To force Apple to open up iMessage as a protocol to other devices by fiat seems wholly totalitarian and invasive.

>Tesla's obviously in some kind of beta mode.

Then stop marketing yourself as though you're not. I don't care if the little asterisk in the corner of your website makes it clear that "it's just beta mode, bro", they clearly prefer to put out an image that suggests otherwise.

Then rebuild the infrastructure. Wikipedia lists 100+ closed rail lines in the US, so the real count must be in thousands. Long haul should never be by road.
The argument here (not saying I agree with it) is that it's common to let units sit empty over particular periods, based on other business decisions and an understanding of the market.

eg, If you have a lease that ends in September, the make ready process takes 2-4 weeks, so the unit will be available for lease again in October. There's not a high churn of residents in October-December due to holiday periods, etc. and demand doesn't pick up again until January. Therefore, it's better for you to let that unit sit empty now, because demand is so much lower for the next 2-3 months you won't be able to get the same increase in lease price as you will when demand skyrockets in January.

Another example is an understanding that some kind of amenity will change over a period. eg, a new public transport route is going in, or the property next door is being rezoned and demolished, from an industrial site to a commercial precinct, and so waiting for that to happen means that you can get a higher price on your lease once that happens, to the extent that it will offset the loss from leaving the unit vacant.

The defendants will argue that the analysis provided by the plaintiff doesn't consider these kinds of business decisions and that this part of the argument should be considered flawed.

The vast majority of trains in the US are diesel-powered, although they're about 4x more efficient than trucks.

It's tempting to imagine they could all run on electricity, but it's probably hard, as many routes go through hundreds of miles of rugged nothingness. This is quite different from rail transport in Europe.
It’s basically a quad with a cabin. That’s pretty clever and would be useful in limited cases like working a farm. Obviously an F-150 or whatnot can also leave the farm.
That's why a carbon tax (pollution tax, I hate calling pollution carbon) would be better than straight outlawing natural gas fuel. Too bad voters hate prices being anything but uniform and cheap. So much backlash even against demand pricing.
WhatsApp succeeded. Google misfiring 10 times giving people zero reason to invest was the problem.

Either way, the research would be useful. If you can figure out why some people have more of a support system than others, that would also be exciting.

(Or alternatively, why having a support system drives you to become a magician. Or perhaps there's a third factor that causes both? Or perhaps it's a spurious correlation that doesn't replicate?)
Man, this may make Windows a viable option; opens start menu, tons of mass shooting news articles... yeah nevermind.
Not sure it's worth putting a lot of weight behind an anonymous source when it directly contradicts a lot of what Pepsi has said publicly[1]. There is a whole movement to short Tesla and a lot of blogs & social media purposefully put out a lot of FUD that makes it difficult to understand what are real critiques vs market manipulation. I'm sure the Semi program isn't perfect but the blog post seems... biased.

Despite the usual "I want Apple to be a walled garden" sentiment that is prevalent on HN, I'm glad that the EU, DoJ and all the various corporate lawsuits are finally forcing Apple to open up their ecosystem, even if it is still far from where it should be. The smartphone is now the primary personal computer for most of the planet, and deserves to be treated as such.

People aren’t allowed to read something because it isn’t on TikTok is certainly not a take I’d expect to hear from someone rallying against America.

Typically that’s a right wing conservative argument that Trump and Fox News parrot about Alex Jones and what not.
I think the thing that Tesla misses when it comes to semi construction is that unlike with the roadster and the model-s launches the customers are unlikely to be impressed by the tech-bro bit and will first and foremost look at ergonomics, safety and economics. Image isn't on the front burner at all and I think the number of actual truck drivers at the Tesla design department approaches zero.

If they mess up the launch of the semi in terms of early adopter customer satisfaction they may not get a second chance.

Not necessarily. Eg I'm fairly sure Banksy can just go and enjoy a pint at their local pub without being an artist 24/7.

The point is to care about the worst case within that variation.

> China fundamentally wants order within its borders

Aside, I have a pet theory involving how the game Battlefield 4 (2013) was banned in China. The plot does not depict China as some inherently Anti-Freedom Giant Evil Empire, but I think that--in the eyes of Chinese censors--it did something even worse: It suggested that there were cracks in the empire, that it was even possible for a rogue Chinese admiral to (in the then-future year 2020) stage a credible coup against the Chinese establishment.
It’s not collusion if the landlords don’t know it is price fixing and they really may not. Collusion definitely requires mens rea.

Nice one! I will be curious to learn if that works for others too.

In my case v.1 and 2 were apps with a similar on screen red dot like yours. Much smaller and first placed at the status-bar (like the cock ":" blinking) then floating on screen lower left corner.

Things got interesting and worked best for me after I remove the light from the actual screen I must look at to work. Hence the device use, and then later the heart sensor.

The key (I guess) is to make you brain see it but not you (if that makes sense?). Something like you looking at your screen but can still see if an Ant moves nearby or your phone shows a notification. Near your screen but not on it ; )

In any case, great little test, and eager for any feedback you can get.
You let the colo handle it.
No, it's literally the blog of a Tesla short-seller. Read the archives. I love a good Musk pot shot as much as the next guy, but there are trustworthy sources to put on the front page of HN and there are sources we shouldn't be seeing. And this is one of them.

Here's the other popular and illegal apartment building inflation practice that doesn't require software:

* Make very stiff penalties for accepting anything besides a 12 month lease, EXCEPT when the renewal date falls outside of a designated 2 month period.

* Set this 2 month period to coincide or overlap with the same renewal period every other major player in your housing market uses.

* For any lease renewing outside that 2 month period, change up the optimum price point you offered to be a slightly shorter or longer lease period. This will shift tenants into the desired renewal period within a few years and you'll benefit even if they switch buildings in the long run, as long as most other buildings are doing this too.

* Add very strong penalties for lease-breaking, including such tactics as charging as much as 135% of the monthly rate for every month remaining on the lease. Unless they re-rent the building, and then the fee is 135% - whatever they get for rent for that period (hint: want a cheap apartment for your employees? Use the lease breaker apartment and charge them the difference!)

* Add the same 135% increase for the post-lease month-to-month period to force any renewals to make their decision quickly during that renewal period.

Get enough major players to do the same in the same area, and you have:

* Artificially increased demand during that designated 2 month period when everyone in the area renews.

* Artificially constricted supply during the same period, as renters won't release their current place until they've found a new one.

* Ensured that any newcomers to the area will get locked into the same renewal cycle within a few years at the most.

Even if they leave your complex, as long as you've shifted their renewal cycle you will benefit in the long term. There's one less apartment available for rent and one more apartment seeker looking for a place during the same period that most others are looking.

This is one of the major causes of housing inflation. Also, homelessness as people get priced out of the housing market.

A lot of other things go into the reasons we're seeing 5-10%+/year rent increases when the population only increases 0.5%. Way too many of them come down to exploitative wealth extraction by multistate or multinational corporations. This wealth does NOT flow back into your community.
That does sound great other than the lack of social interaction, so I would not be in a hurry to leave if I were you.

There are other ways to find / generate social interaction, inside or outside work.

At work, you can always find reasons to interact more with your coworkers. Schedule an occasional virtual coffee chat or happy hour with your teammates. Find a reason to have a meeting over video instead of handling it over chat or email. Do you travel for fun? Find an excuse to visit a city where one of your teammates lives and meet up with them while you're there.

Of course, if there really is no practical way to get more social interaction with your coworkers, that may just be a sign that you're also suffering from a lack of it outside work. And there are many more ways to remedy that without the constraints on work-related interactions.
> he claimed it was because the boom in high-rise apartments in the city had created too much competition and the owners had all agreed to use this software to fix that.

Rent homogenization software is doing the same thing realtor associations have done for years -- offer incentives to users who hold the line on "standard" pricing and penalizing those that don't.

Then wrap the above scheme up in something more convoluted so it doesn't immediately look like collusion.
As the article mentions the program might have been a little smoke & mirrors for the stock price, it reminded me the roadster they drove out from inside the semi during the launch took preorders and still has very little chance of ever seeing production.
Sure, that’s reasonable if your only concern is echoing strings. Part of what’s appealing to me about JSX is that it’s capable of far more than string output (even in that’s ultimately all you’re producing from it). The thing (usually) produced in a JSX expression is a value, which can be any arbitrary data structure, and can be composed in any arbitrary way you like. Echoing strings—which is to say producing output as a side effect, out of band of a component’s return value—undermines that. It’s totally a valid approach (and makes perfect sense in the context of PHP’s rendering model), it just has a different set of capabilities.
Not sure how that’s relevant when there’s very likely nobody alive still working at IBM who might have been involved in all of that.

Anyways … seems Elon and company are too happy engaging in fighting the “woke mind-virus”(sic) and firing any content moderation folks and driving people and advertisers away to do anything about this.
> During the installation process, the Megachargers took down the power grid for a good chunk of the city [imagine what happens when 100% of ICE vehicles have switched over to BEV in California by 2035].

A little bit tangential, but 2035 marks the ban on new passenger ICE vehicles. Given the average age of cars in the US, California probably won't even be at 50% passenger BEVs by 2035, let alone 100% of ALL vehicles. Kind of a troubling oversight for an automotive long/short manager seemingly specializing in EV companies.
Perhaps advertisers controlling all the information most people see is a bad thing?

That document is one of the most important things written during the Global War on Terror and it’s a primary source. It gives insight into his mindset, what made him angry, why he did this. Yet the document didn’t have a significant impact on the course of events, it has minimal propaganda value.

It’s a very important document to read because the lessons of the Global War of Terror have been forgotten in the Gaza strip.
The backlog of hooking variable load sources to the US electric grid is very long, often requires retrofitting the grid, and cost is borne by the generator.

It's not as simple as having the capacity because power is used the instant it's produced.

As I navigate dating, I've found the perfectly "compliant" or even "subservient" relationships are just as shallow as the ones fueled by lust.

Sadly, when relationships are as replaceable as water, there's not much thirst for anything real, including the ups and downs.

I guess what I'm musing is that I feel bad for the people stuck in the empty loops of "perfect" satisfaction and hope they find the human in themselves in the day to day. Amusing Ourselves to Death comes to mind.
It's funny, the whole analog vs digital thing I personally can't tell the difference that often with EXCEPT the filter.

I have a digital synth with a digital filter that's great but I feel like I have to put a lot more work into the filter parameters to make it sound good.

I also have a digital synth with an analog filter and I find I don't have to play with the filter much at all. It sounds pretty good in pretty much every case.
