>Hold on right there. There is no self-driving product in the picture or in the conversation. Other than one in your imagination maybe. It is a beta which is not yet self driving.

They sell it, it's a product. You can call it a beta product. This is entirely pointless semantics.

>By your logic, should Toyota pay for all accidents that happen in Toyotas? No, because Toyotas are not fully self driving? I have news for you. Neither are Teslas.

You are going in a loop. That's not logic, and certainly not my logic. Toyota doesn't sell self-driving cars, so why would Toyota be responsible for how the cars drive. If there is a defect in their cars, they would be responsible for that. You are once again playing semantics. Tesla sells cars with a self driving product. You are trying to play a semantic game by saying it's not "full self driving" because some aspect of its function, but what words we call it is besides the point, what matters is how its functions. Tesla is liable for how the product functions because it's in control of how the product functions, not because its "full" or "partial" self driving.

>Your hypothetical sounds reasonable in theory, but it’s predicated on an imaginary situation that does not exist.

You literally just keep making up nonsense in order to justify your positions. Like saying "it's a beta" so it's not a product. You can buy it. It's a product. They are already facing lawsuits over it. Get real. Hands down one of the most pointless conversations I've had here when you are engaging like this.

> If you agree with the narrative of shareholder primacy

I've really begun to notice that there is a large group of people who see this not as a narrative but as objective and external reality. I see it often on this topic, that capitalism (definitional arguments noted) is not just inherently good - it is in fact inherent. However it seems to increasingly apply to many people's perspectives on social and societal concepts.

I love me some internet...have since I was a kid...but one externality of being able to find and interact with people who think similarly to you is increased coalescence around different realities as realities rather than narratives or perspectives.
Kinda. But S/MIME has its own problems[0], mostly related to you as a recipient being unable to choose who is authorized to send you encrypted email (and so spam and malware filters don't work).

On top of that, GPG and S/MIME's support of encrypted-at-rest email is, imo, a fool's errand. Handing a payload of data to a third party that the recipient can eventually query to retrieve makes it much easier to grab a hold of and try to decrypt in the future. The same is true of SSL to an extent, but SSL traffic is much more voluminous, such that saving all of it to eventually crack and decide if there's anything worthwhile in it is unlikely.

The only real way to transfer private data between two users is to do it live with an ephemeral channel, whether that's in-person or via SSL or etc. The only value I see in GPG and friends is in verifying authenticity of the contents - signing the email - not encrypting those contents. Email has, and always will be, an open protocol, for better or worse.

The distinction here is the nature of a CFO as an individual vs a CFO as a role. It's true that individuals ultimately have control over whether to be greedy or not, but if individuals who are averse to greed aren't encouraged or allowed to become CFOs, then the CFO as a role loses the ability to make that choice.

> He can sell his shares when he feels like it.

I thought that as a corporate officer he kind of can't sell his shares when he feels like it?

My layperson's understanding is that people like him have to decide in advance when they're going to sell shares and tell the SEC (by filing a 10b5-1 with a preset sales schedule and cooling-off period before sales start). I thought that the most control he would get is choosing to suspend the plan (i.e. keep shares instead of selling them on the pre-decided date).

Are there other ways he can sell his shares whenever he wants? Can he borrow using them as collateral whenever he likes, for example?
Checked with a Chinese native speaker who also thinks it's 阮.
Some old Realtek switch chips featured a protocol called RRCP[1] where you could write to the hardware registers using a specific type of Ethernet frame. So I guess a CCP-designed backdoor would probably detect a specially encrypted WiFi packet and allow then internal memory of the device to be written/read over the air. The key would be hardwired into the chip, part of the random logic - so there will be no visible block to identify on visual inspection of the die.

Or more subtly they could insert (or just not fix) a bug which allows packet descriptors to be overwritten on reception of a certain malformed WiFi packet, e.g. too short or long, which makes it possible to overwrite regions of the device's memory and thus compromise it. A SDR might be required to transmit the malformed packet(s).

By the way, I wonder if modern Realtek switch chips might still support RRCP, and an undocumented EEPROM bit or strapping resistor might re-enable it?

As a legal matter, no, he can't really sell his shares when he feels like it. (Disclaimer: IANAL and this is not advice.) The Spotify insider trading policy [1] prohibits transactions during "blackout periods," which start with the last month of the fiscal quarter (so December 1, in this case) and end after earnings are released.

These share sales were presumably executed pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan, so he did something like set up a target price ahead of time at which he would sell. It just so happened that the plan was triggered when the stock surged on news of layoffs. I don't think the optics are great there! But it's at least sort of a coincidence.

"If you think these things aren’t fair or suck, then you should try to move out of the leet coder path and get on the capital owner or business operator side."

Some people like engineering and don't want to have to do an entirely different career. I would love to be treated as a human as an engineer (which is why I'm trying to leave the big companies but it's hard to find a company much better)
Yeah I wasn't under the impression that respect the rights of customers was in their top 10 priorities.
But aren't layoffs ultimately a mistake?
Shouldn't the stress of losing a job (also) be on the shoulders of who made the incorrect decisions?
Just because he executed within a legal trading window doesn't mean he didn't make the decision to trade. It absolutely has everything with the stock going up right after the layoffs.

AMD gatekeeps this functionality behind it's non-consumer cards. They don't realize that having a consumer card and being able to develop on it is a gateway to using AMD. I can use CUDA on any Nvidia card I buy. I can't believe they are so incredibly dense on this.

It should actually be very very expensive for a company to fire people. Why do stock markets have an automated forced "PAUSE" when stocks seem like they are crashing? It's because companies, investors, people, or even computers don't always act rationally. That pause has prevented a lot of hiccups from turning into full-blown crashes.

Right now, when a company lays people off, the town, state, and federal government are the ones who have to end up picking up the downstream effects of that in the macro sense. And local businesses, families, loved ones have to pick them up in the micro sense. This trade doesn't actually make sense if you think about it, a company _should not_ be able to cause that level of a disruption, without a penalty to itself.

This is why I actually don't mind some specifics of European companies, where firing people is _genuinely really hard_. This also means that when hiring, you simply have to plan better. It is okay to expect a large company to "plan better" than an individual with a single income stream. It is okay to push the burden of the pain of bad markets onto companies, rather than individuals.
It is interesting to think about how an automaker like Tesla which is more vertically integrated and has less in the way of legacy parts/tools/processes can make this change more easily than the established players. From the article:

If you cannot convert all of a vehicle’s systems to 48V architecture, the benefits of using such an architecture start to diminish pretty quickly . . . If an automaker decides to move to a 48V architecture, whatever car it builds must use 48V-ready accessories. But, suppliers aren’t incentivized to build such accessories without sufficient demand.

No. As far as I know, blackout periods are usually before a major announcement, except in cases like a change in leadership. In any case, blackout periods are defined and enforced by companies, they are not rules made by the SEC: the purpose is to avoid the appearance of impropriety. This is not insider trading either, since insider trading involves making trades based on non-public information, and this all happened after the information was made public.

The biggest problem for Tesla right now is that they can't get registration plates since the appeals court reversed the lower court's decision about allowing them to get them during the suit against the transport authority and failing to convince the court in the PostNord suit that they should get temporary relief during that suit.
I agree. The "end" isn't the network interface; it's the user interface.
Every work condition you take for grant--8 hour days, weekends, vacations, paid leave, to name a few--is the fruit of the labor movement, labor organization and strikes.

Consider the Homestead strike [1] where companies hired private mercenaries (ie the Pinkertons) to commit violence to break the strike. People died.

Consider US auto makers [2]:

> Tesla workers earn on average about $55 an hour in wages and benefits, compared to $66 to $71 an hour at Detroit’s Big Three, according to CNN research. If the Detroit automakers come to agreement with the UAW, it will widen the gap between those unionized and non-unionized wages.

Unions benefit non-union members too [3]:

> Each 1 percentage point increase in private-sector union membership rates translates to about a 0.3 percent increase in nonunion wages.

The disdain for unions (by Americans in particular) while being completely oblivious to the benefits they enjoy because of unions has to be one of the most successful propaganda wins of the last century. Siding with the world's richest man over your own interests makes absolutely no sense.

> where the company sells support or hosting

Yep, you got this. We also sell open source extensions (yep, you could build and download the code, and strip the license handling, but somehow companies will pay for the convenience of having the install and upgrade done automatically - they also know that they support the company behind the thing they use, in a way that can be easily justified to their accounting department, with an invoice, and get some support hours included, which they like. Paying for something that is paid is easier than donating!). And we also do (a lot of) consulting.

For desktop applications, it might be harder indeed. Though JetBrains does have an extension store and could do the same, and also sell support.

Not sure about the consulting, but why not? Maybe they could sell some of the expertise they have on actually a big number of topics. I'm sure companies would be eager to pay them to implement feature in their IDEs they need, or to build components specific to their setup / projects. I'm discovering that companies will spend money on all sorts of things, I'm actually somewhat surprised by this.

Igalia [3], for instance, does this with browsers. They sell consulting around browsers and also get paid to contribute features in the big engines.

I mentioned curl earlier, Daniel gets paid for doing commercial support on curl [1]:

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bordnetz#48-Volt-Bordnetz_im_A... explains (a bit) why German car makers are using 48V since ~2016 (in addition to the still existing 12V system, which seems to be the difference with Tesla, which went 48V-only).

DeepL translation:

The 12 V electrical system can barely cover the power consumption that modern vehicles need for their comfort systems. The "static" consumers completely overload the alternator, which provides up to 3 kW of power, especially at low temperatures.[12] The battery power is not sufficient for additional dynamic consumers, such as powerful electrically driven compressors.[13]

For this reason, a proposal was made at the end of the 1990s to install a 14 V/42 V electrical system in motor vehicles.[14] From 2001, Japanese manufacturers and General Motors launched hybrid vehicles with this electrical system on the market.[15] Although Daimler-Chrysler was one of the co-initiators of this concept, it was not used in Germany. One reason for this was that it did not appear possible to demonstrate a corresponding utility value to customers for the necessary additional price[14].

Instead, since 2010, German car manufacturers have favoured the solution of providing a second 48 V electrical system to supplement the 12 V system.[9] Since 2016, the first series applications of 48 V electrical system components have been the operation of the electric compressor and the electromechanical roll stabilization in the Audi SQ7 4.0 TDI and Bentley Bentayga. Both are based on the same platform.

why is that the only alternative?
> Postal workers even decided not to deliver mail to the electric automaker, including license plates – an action that Musk called "insane". The local court has since put a stop to that action.

This is no longer true. A higher court overturned that decision and the license plates are again blocked from reaching Tesla.

> Striking workers aren’t paid in the first place.

Mostly correct. But unions save the union dues and pay it back to striking workers as compensation for the lost income from work.

For example union members at Tesla get 100% wage compensated:

> Members at Tesla receive conflict compensation from day one when the conflict breaks out. The compensation is 100 percent of the income you would have received if you had worked. This also applies for you who apply for membership during the conflict and the compensation is paid from day one of your membership.
