The same reason as any other, the mix of WLB, compensation and career growth. But notably the article isn't stating Meta will meet other offers, they may also beat other offers. Its merely saying they won't be compelled to offer in their upper range of compensation if they don't believe you have any leverage, i.e. why would they negotiate if they don't need to. Also unspoken is that both the lower and upper are still high -- I wouldn't be surprised if the lower is higher than a majority of other companies' median or even upper brackets.

It's in opposition to the brand. Apple products range from affordable to aspirational. But every line is carefully segmented so there's a somewhat affordable option - certainly not cheap, but relatively accessible.

And all mass-produced in incredible numbers.

A low volume $250k car would be pure luxury for the sake of it. That's not Apple's market.

Apple's market would be a $50k Tesla killer with far better styling and build quality and some attempt at a game-changing killer feature, all bundled with cross-marketing for other walled-garden products.

I'm not surprised that turned out to be impossible - for now.

"A rubric is a type of scoring guide that assesses and articulates specific components and expectations for an assignment."

They have a ton of highly qualified candidates. Why would they focus on optimizing the experience from the viewpoint of the candidate, when they are spending so much time and money cherry picking?
yeah copper burns green and is commonly used in liners and other components. If it starts to burn, which it's not suppose to, you see green. You'll see a green flash when the merlin engines startup but that's because of the hypergolic fluids used to get the pumps running and ignition started, not copper burning. During Falcon night launches you can really see the green glow of the starter fluid on ignition.

RIP SPG.

Don't have a source ready but if I remember correctly they never planned to build the car themselves. There are plenty of contract manufacturers out there that build for a variety of brands (Magna Steyr in Austria is a typical example). Then Apple adds it's custom electronics and AI driving assistants and voila you got an iCar.

Was the car supposed to have self-driving or something?
Sure. But somebody writes it once and you can benefit from it. If you don't have operator overloading there isn't any chance of doing this.

At any rate, I feel like the goalposts have been moved a bit. You originally said:

But then you'll soon want to do A*B+C, and you'll find that fused multiply/add is a much faster operation than doing a multiplication and then addition, and soon you'll either be writing mul_add(A, B, C) anyway

Which I just wanted to point out that you can fuse these operations with operator overloading as well. I am pretty sure that

or you'll overengineer a complex solution to make A*B return some kind of object that can recognize the subsequent + operation etc.

was a later edit, I don't remember reading it when I first reacted to your comment. If so, doing that is not really nice, since it breaks the flow of the reactions.

At any rate, I think we agree on all the trade-offs.

And typing the multiplication operator in HN syntax sucks :).
While there were absolutely people who thought the iPhone would fail, the idea that most people were skeptical about the iPhone is simply ahistorical. The iPhone had a huge amount of hype from the moment it was announced, and it was pretty clear from the outset that this was the direction cell phones were headed.

The Vision Pro just doesn't have that. Apple was able to clearly articulate what the iPhone allowed you to do that you couldn't do before. But the use cases presented for the Vision Pro just are a lot more niche, and a lot less compelling. Some people will certainly find uses for it, but right now the Vision Pro feels like a solution in search of a problem.
If you’re interested in ecology in science fiction you should give Kill Decision by Daniel Suarez a read. It’s not about ants specifically, but they play a large roll in a way (I don’t want to spoil too much and it’s been long enough since I read it I can’t remember what’s a spoiler or not). It’s a good read.
This is spot on. Having shadowed my share of interviews, I've found that the attitude of the interviewer is the biggest factor in having a good interview experience.

Making sure interviewers show genuine interest, and are open to different candidate background is one of the most difficult things to guarantee when you have many people interviewing.

What I'm asking is, how is this unique to self-hosting?

You set them up on Cloud Email and it asks for a phone number to create an account, then they find out some debtor used to have their phone number and they're getting calls from debt collectors, or they move and want a number in their new area code, so their phone number changes. No one thinks to update it with the email provider until they insist on sending a code to the phone number you used to sign up ten years ago.

Or you set it up for them and it prompts for a backup email, which they don't have because the one being created is their only one, so you use yours thinking something is better than nothing, and now they still need the code sent to yours.

How does the hosting method affect any of this?
Apple probably envisioned not a car company but a revolutionary personal transportation industry that highly integrates compute power in the form of self-driving AI. Remember, Steve Jobs famously poopooed the Segway. It doesn't surprise me that they got into it and then took their time. With advances in robotics and more powerful AI on the horizon, I can see a reasonable internal debate on whether to stay the course on R&D or not.
Interesting, I didn't realize that the "imminent" component disqualified recordings. I would have thought that an exhortation to do something lawless as soon as you hear the message would count.

Definitely similar in a lot of ways (going against the current, similar design language), but there are a couple of key differences to the point I wouldn't say Tesla is the Apple of cars -

Apple typically productizes mature technology and ensures that its products are designed well. Tesla is an early adopter and productizes immature technology which it overhypes and overpromises on (e.g. self-driving).

Apple's manufacturing quality control and attention to detail is also generally pretty impressive. Tesla products looks impressive on the outside but feel cheap on the inside, and there are a lot of issues with the quality of manufacturing. Apple uses nice materials and Tesla uses cheap materials.

Apple making a car always struck me as weird, though.

I would argue BMW or Mercedes are much closer to being the Apple of cars - they aren't early adopters of new technology, and their products are immaculately designed (though using a much different design language than Apple does) and are and feel expensive, unlike Tesla's cars, which look nice but feel like toys.

I'm questioning whether cars align with their business strategy in the first place. Their approach seems to focus on creating an ecosystem where users are deeply integrated into their suite of products and services. Introducing cars, which inherently need to appeal to a broader demographic, might lead to a disconnect from this model. (Sarcastically: Were they considering a car that's unusable without an iPhone?)

I think it's not sarcasm so much as it is gentle self-chiding. Emacs configuration can certainly be a timesink, especially if you enjoy it.

That said, it's pretty easy to put your Emacs config on the back-burner for a long time once you have things how you like them, and it becomes a much more OPTIONAL time sink at that point.

Using something like Doom Emacs could even prevent it from really ever being much of a time killer, but in my experience, once one is bit by the customization bug, one doesn't -mind- the time sink so much because the fruits of your labor are worth it
I don’t think the market can take what would probably be a very expensive EV, at least not at scale. EV sales in the US seem to be stalling, in part because the charging infrastructure is not fully there, and in part because of cost. The price to get mass adoption would have to be significantly lower than current offerings, and Apple is not known to undercut on price. Vision Pro is 3.5x Meta Quest Pro, for example.

In the EU the EV adoption is mostly on the heels of BYO cheaper EVs, with the exception of Norway and other northern countries. I assume Teslas are only luxury items elsewhere, and EV adoption is also based on cheaper Chinese builds.

So this is not like when the iPhone was a step function in quality, functionality and price over a commoditized mobile phone market. This is a market that is still mostly luxury, with some attempts at commoditization. A 3.5x price would be over mostly Tesla prices.

Maybe Apple realized they would take too long to achieve scale if they went to market anytime soon?
Yeah, I absolutely believe that Apple can bring something to car industry - I remember Elon once said that Teslas hidden strength that no other car manufacturer caught on to was treating the car as technology akin to an iPhone with incremental updates and improvements pushed over the air. I've owned a Model X for a few years and I see that approach but don't think Tesla has perfected it. Apple has the potential to innovate there. Cars, even ones that look like "traditional" cars, have been computers on wheels for a long time - for example, when you press the brakes there isn't and hasn't been for a long time a direct connection to the physical brakes. I have no idea what that would look like, and as someone who thought the iPhone was a worse version of an iPod and that the iPad filled a non-existant need I don't think I can speculate. But it just feels like an area that lags behind in terms of UX, which Apple often excels at.

Edit: I'm a dumb dumb and the brakes example was bad. I don't edit my mistakes in forums so peoples replies make sense. I still think the rest of the point is valid.
Aren't they? Their entire business is pretty much based on brand. Apple products aren't actually better than the competition (often they are worse, like the iPhone not letting you install apps outside the app store). But it doesn't matter because people think Apple is cool. I don't see why that wouldn't translate to cars.
Has the tech industry still not recovered or am I that bad?
Good observation!

Basically `Error` is an alias to `std::string`. This way code is more meaningful as returning just std::string is too generic.

It's also my convention to report errors as return arguments in this particular codebase, instead of throwing exceptions for example.

None of these are practical luxury car brands. Certainly their competitors would be, say, BMW or Porsche?
From the examples section:

I wouldn’t feel “psychologically safe” with someone who expects me to read minds. How can you ever be sure about how others feel as a manager? I check in with my reports and their colleagues but I’m still never certain. Your reports don’t want to be fired and as such every interaction you have with them is flavored with coercion.

If I asked this question and they didn’t say something to the effect of I’m not sure, that would be an enormous red flag to me that this person doesn’t give others proper agency.
To be honest, I'm not sure what Apple could've brought to the table in regards to making an electric car. Apple's hardware design philosophies[1] don't really align with what consumers want in a car. Apple being less minimalistic than a Tesla — which is already at an extreme — is a hard sell.

[1] Examples of what I mean:

- Cars use faux materials all the time for cost and weight purposes, or even just looks (i.e. fake chrome bits, spoilers and vents that don't do anything etc.). Apple these days does not, if it looks like metal, it almost always is, same for glass, and vents are as hidden as possible.

- Creature comforts: Cars are a place people spend a lot of time in, and are usually as comfortable as possible for it.

Apple examples where ergonomics took a back seat for looks: All their mice, Airpods Max (Heavy, can't fold or turn off without a case), Vision (Heavy), Apple TV (ZERO buttons, need to unplug to reset from a crash). I'm not saying it's impossible for them to make a comfortable car, but I am saying they've prioritized looks over comfort several times.

- Apple design in general has lost a lot of it's soul. They used to be more fun and whimsy, just look at iMac designs of the past. The Cyber truck, love it or hate it, is not boring. Everything apple sells is a glass and metal slab, or as close as possible to it.

By the way, I like a lot of Apple's hardware design decisions, like premium materials etc. I just don't think it's in their DNA to launch a car that isn't a touch-screen-hell appliance with rounded corners.
This sounds like an honest attempt to be more objective, but it’s still so subjective that I question the value.

>Vague platitudes: some people have a tendency to fall back on vague generalities in behavioral interviews. “In recruiting, it’s all about communication!” “No org structure is perfect!” If they don’t follow this up with a more specific, precise or nuanced claim, they may not be a strong first-principles thinker.”

I don’t think that conclusion follows. I think what is usually happening there is that the person is saying what they think you want to hear.

Ironically the phrase “first principles thinker” sounds like vague business speak to me.
oh i'm sure state of the art has advanced since then. i have the necessary physics background, but it's not otherwise my domain: i once used xfoil to design an airfoil for an autonomous model glider as a hackerspace project back when i had free time for things like that many years ago. the glider was also loaded into x-plane to develop and test the autonomous part. so whenever various experimental aircraft projects popup, i'm likely to look into them, and then also notice the peculiar foils they use.
Not really the point. Apple succeeded because they applied their strengths, product and user interface design, to what is essentially a small computer.

Apple have always developed core products that are essentially a computer.

Even though cars increasingly look like laptops on wheels, the actual computer bit is relatively minor and the user interface is mostly the wheel and pedals, not so much the screen.
"I drive an Apple" sounds so odd.
emacs just need to things

the core concepts and main UI of emacs are the best there is in my opinion, simple, uncluttered , logical
GM is hardly a car brand that knows what consumers give a shit about, this is just enshitification to squeeze their remaining customers.

What the difference? Do you think people pretend to be interested in a product when marketing is good?

I think they become genuinely interested. People pretend when there are some benefits from pretending, social or monetary or whatever.

I can say for myself that my excitement about space is genuine, but I cannot say is it a result of the marketing. When two Falcon 9 boosters land side by side with a sub-second interval is it marketing or engineering excellence? I do not care, I like that moment, it seemed unreal at the time, it changed my perception of what is real and what is not. In other words it changed my perception of reality. It is a big deal, and I cannot care less if it is a marketing.

Embarrassingly, I was eves dropping on a (loud) woman in a coffee shop who worked on the Apple Car project. She did SLAM work.
