And here he admits to fake name use:

"In my limited experience creating Internet pseudonyms, I've been quite
distracted by the continual need to avoid leaving pointers to my
True Name lying around -- excess mail to/from my True Name, shared
files, common peculiarities (eg misspellings in written text), traceable
logins, etc. The penet.fi site explicitly maintains a list of pointers
to the original address. All kinds of security controls -- crypto, access,
information, inference -- have to be continually on my mind when using
pseudonymous accounts. The hazards are everywhere. With our current
tools it's practically impossible to maintain an active pseudonym for a
long period of time against a sufficiently determined opponent, and
quite a hassle to maintain even a modicum of decent security. Pointers
to info and/or tools to enable the establishment and maintenance of a
net.nym, beyond the standard cypherpunks PGP/remailer fare with which
I'm now familiar, greatly appreciated. Especially nice would be a list
of commercial net providers that allow pseudonymous accounts.""
billing and coding is not a technical problem, per se. many public domain coding schemes exist, and there are lookup tables to map across each. lots of open source tools to help.

the problem is redundant inefficient systems subsidized by your tax dollars.

at hospitals i have seen literally 5 overlapping emr systems for a given service that require MDs to cut and paste data that is inaccurate, stale, and irrelevant to the context of the patient encounter. then they print out a pdf and mark it up with pen. THAT is the real record they use since the emr is so bad

emrs were designed by programmers, not by clinical users. very poor interfaces. 10 clicks just to do anything. need a new feature? 2015 release is just around the corner.

too bad we just spent billions of US tax dollars subsidizing emr systems that are DOA (many physicians i know put their records on box or google docs, hipaa be damned - just to get their work done!)
It's for the same reason that movie distributors don't bypass theaters by selling directly to the public. Originally, it was hard to distribute cars, and car manufacturers didn't want to make the investment to open little retailers everywhere. So they offloaded the risk and capital requirements to third parties, who could customize themselves to the markets they were in (what inventory to carry, where to locate, how to advertise, etc). Then those dealerships became their main (only?) source of revenue. Now they're beholden to their main sales channel. If they started selling cars directly, the dealerships revolt (like a labor strike - what do they have lose here?) and cut them off from revenue for a month. Similarly, theaters very explicitly refuse to show movies that are directly release to the public, which means, for the moment, that those movies won't make any money, and thus movies aren't released that way.

That's a scenario no upstart car company would ever enter into willingly, so Tesla of course didn't. And eventually, companies like Tesla will increase the pressure on all car companies to sell directly, and the dealership cabal will collapse. But in the meantime, that's a lot of tied hands.

Adding legal barriers through lobbying makes all of that worse, of course.
Anyone know if they've considered the most logical route:

If you sell direct, no dealers.
If you have dealers, you can't sell direct

In all of Tesla's battles, I haven't seen this brought up.

I'm pretty sure that was the best he could at the time. If it was possible, he probably would have evicted her sooner. It's also not like she's completely helpless or didn't know about the home being for sale, and there are plenty of cheap rooms near public transit for rent in the Bay Area.

At the end of the day, it's private property. She's not entitled to live there if the owner doesn't want her to.
Never. That would actually accomplish something!

Actually, no, that's not how it works. When being sued for patent infringement, a valid defense is indeed, "I didn't know about that patent."

The bans were initially put in place to protect the investments made by dealerships from being nullified by a manufacturer setting up shop and competing with them.

It has no purpose when the manufacturer has no dealership agreements to begin with.

I was actually planning on setting up a landing page tomorrow to offer Tesla buyers an address (no charge) in an adjacent state to register the vehicle at when they can't purchase directly in their state (TX, NJ, etc).

You would take delivery at that address, and then re-register the vehicle in your home state after the title was in your name.
Actually, to make a 2048 you need to make two 1024s. It's unlikely that you'll make two 1024s at the same time. Similarly for the lower tiles. As a sort of upper bound you expect the game to be over in about 1024 moves and it's likely to not be much less than that. I think a more realistic number is somewhere in the 500s
Systemd uses it's own ini format instead of shell scripts and will soon be on most linux distros.

Last time I was at a dealership it was to buy a used car. As soon as we started talking numbers I found there was an additional $800 of work that had been done to the car (window tinting and some door guard thing) that I had to pay for. I started by telling him that the sticker price was disingenuous since this was was already done and they knew they had to charge for it.

I ended up negotiating something half-way decent, but that was a very annoying starting point.
As someone who purchased a car out of state and took it back to NJ the only thing is you have to pay NJ tax on the sale. So no "extra" penalty that I'm aware of unless they are doing that for electric vehicles which would be just downright horrible.
By definition, "tinfoil hat" has to do with a poorly supported argument, e.g. a conspiracy theory. If anything, it's begging the question.

At any rate, no, I will not stop it. This guy is crying wolf and he needs to be called on it.

Nothing. Just as there's nothing stopping an NJ resident from buying a Tesla on the Internet from her home.

It's just to annoy people who don't know what they want. They can still do test drives in NJ, but can't talk about pricing, options, financing options etc.
Couldn't agree more. It's amazing anything that isn't corrupt ever happens in New Jersey's government. Or, at least, I assume things that aren't corrupt do happen at least once in a blue moon. I suppose they got tired of selling kidneys and found a new victim.
They use a bad example of Pepsi and Coke since you can't patent a recipe and that's why they guard the "trade secret recipe" a more fitting example would be Ford Mustang vs Chevy Camero.
That was Lance Detweiler, one of the main loons of the Cypherpunks list. Note that the article was posted in the EFF's "humor" section.
they could sell them in the Apple store. Solved.
It could also be because people are waking up to the irrational exuberance in the tesla stock. Imagine selling all these cars but not actually delivering them.

Not anymore, 4.2 added 64-bit support on OS X in September. The difference was probably hysterical reasons. OS X was their first platform and it was released in 2005. I'm guessing the code supporting Macs was exactly what you'd expect for a first iteration.

But it is true that Nick Szabo admits elsewhere on the list that he finds it extremely difficult to maintain a pseudonymous identity, indicating that he has practice doing so. Not that this is any way conclusive, but it bolsters the case that Szabo is the kind of personality who would invent an identity like Satoshi.
So Tesla simply can't have a presence in the state? If that's the case, Tesla should be fine with having showrooms in New York, as well as Philadelphia/Levittown/Allentown, PA. That would put the vast majority of NJ residences within a 30-45 minutes drive of a Tesla showroom.

This is the history of Technology Industry in movie form.

Pirates of Sillicon Valley... a direct to TV movie that is becoming a classict tells the early history of Microsoft and Apple. my personal favorite.

JOBS... the new movie about Steve Jobs is my least favorite, but gives an idea of the departure of Jobs and his return.
Correct!

But, more fun math:

Stocks don't have maintenance costs like houses/rental units. The property tax alone per year on a ~$500k place is ~$8k. (You'd need to get $700/month in rent JUST to cover property tax.) (The next buyer, at 1.4M valuation, would need to charge ~$2k/month JUST to cover the prop tax, nothing else!)

Add in ~$2k/year in regular maintenance, + ~$30k of maintenance every ~5-10 years (roofs, flooring, bathroom fixtures, appliances all die someday), and renting not so profitable. Reliable capital appreciation is the bigger, pure profit here.
To me, it seems useful in cases where the style is a part of the meaning of the symbol. This mostly comes up in mathematics, where a letter represented in fraktur or blackboard bold has some semantically different meaning, and this meaning can be part of the file instead of part of the foramtting of the file.

The practical part of me agrees with patio11, and that the knowledge gain of having these semantics inherent in the file is offset many times by possibly having to treat different bytes as the same character semantically.
I wonder what requirements are placed upon dealers. In theory, Elon Musk could just open up his own "Elon's Teslas" shop and voluntarily sell the cars for no additional markup. There'd be some additional overhead, but it'd still be a much nicer arrangement overall than the current one I bet.
I created a fairly successful app that aimed to give users the best drink specials in my college town. I honestly can't bring myself to work on it anymore because I feel morally reprehensible and somewhat socially responsible for binge drinking when alcohol is such a dangerous substance. Who's not going to over-drink when well drinks are $0.25 a pop, nobody makes a ton of expendable income in college, and my app prominently puts that special in front of 3000 sets of eyeballs? I just don't feel like I'm adding goodness to the world - I feel like I'm subtracting it.
You made a mistake in your calculation because you ignored leverage. Most people buy a house using some combination of equity and debt (usually 20% / 80%).

You need to calculate the return based on the equity invested. Assuming they paid 20% down that's $125K. The house appreciated $773K over the initial purchase price. That's a 6x return on equity, not a 2x.

But thanks for the lecture about how other people don't understand inflation / math.
In Texas they have Tesla stores that only offer test drives. Then, you buy it online in the shop from Cali.
you are comparing the purchasing experience of a high end car (tesla) against a low end one.
Or, alternately, Uber ignores local taxi regulations and then is surprised when cities fight back. I haven't been following the Tesla issue closely, but their attitude does not seem similar to Uber's, which, personally, makes all the difference.

Tesla has a showroom at Short Hills mall in NJ. You can go in, check it out, test drive the car, and then order online. While it's really telling about NJ's government, I don't think it'll impact Tesla or its customers.

Also, I love how the article title reads "New Jersey Votes", as if the citizens got a vote in the matter.
I don't know if there were [m]any participants in the early days of cypherpunks who didn't experiment with pseudonyms, anonymous remailers, anon.penet.fi, and the other early privacy tools/technologies.

Nick's publicly disclosed areas of interest/expertise might make him a viable suspect to be Satoshi Nakamoto, but saying that someone used a nym while participating on the Cypherpunks list in the early 1990's is like saying someone smoked pot during the 1960's. It may be true, but it doesn't tell you much about them as a person, or the things they're likely to do 20 or 30 years later.
Emacs is sexy, smart, complex, kind, and he give me good fights and funny moments some times. Is the only man i ever need. And i love cheating my boyfriend with it! :p.
If you mean it using the literal definition of sexy then yes. That might be an issue. But I don't think they mean literally sexy (as in sexually attractive). Haven't you or a(nother) guy/person call a car sexy or something? Seems the same to me.
It's for the same reason that movie distributors don't bypass theaters by selling directly to the public.

Your understanding of the history of movie distribution as it relates to theater ownership isn't quite right. You can read up more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_booking

In a nutshell, distributors (i.e. movie studios) owned the major theater chains until 1948, when the Supreme Court demanded that theater production and distribution be separated from exhibition (i.e. theaters).
They could call them novelty spinning-rims mobile device rechargers or something.
OLPC is not dead
> My experience has been most programmers struggle hard to build multi-threaded applications, countless hours lost to tracking down race conditions, deadlocks, and unexpectedly bad performance, which is a shame.

A lot of it is caused by tools which are by design prone to such conditions and unless you consciously and meticulously follow very strict guidelines, such problems are inevitable. But some tools try to solve it with different design approach (such as Rust language for example) which prevents many of those potential pitfalls implicitly. I wonder if the book is focused on shared memory and locking only, or covers broader range of methodologies (at the first glance it's mostly about classic shared memory and mutual exclusion approach).

And when Tesla creates a Oculus Rift based VR showroom? What if there was a fancy VR showroom in the mall where several different vendors could show there wares - would Tesla be the only company banned? It'd be fun watching that battle.

Of course, researchers/clinicians can get SBIR and/or NSF grants. From my perspective, funding is not the criticsl path problem.

Lack of a ROI focus and accountability for spending at an organizational level at care delivery organizations is the problem.

Consumer apps can sidestep some of the backwards thinking in care delivery, but if you follow the cost drivers systemically, real innovation that moves the cost needle can be as simple as reducing redundant labor costs, or increasing patient self-service at care delivery interfaces. Nothing that can't be done with circa 1996 web technologies.

Unfortunatelty, human/political organizational barriers to such changes protect entrenched interests and prevent game changing innovation.

That said, I am seeing some minimal attention to real change as accountable care/quality metrics become more front and center due to MU2. Let's hope it doesn't degrade into more subsidies for entrenched vendors to maintain the status quo.
We need a Congressional member to introduce a bill to allow direct sales between car manufacturers and consumers, pronto. If it passes, that would trump any state law that bans that practice.
Here's how we got here:

1) Money buys political influence (duh!)

2) Most cities have small tax bases, where car dealerships are a very large part of the tax base. City managers want a larger tax base to help fund their plans.

3) Thus, car dealerships & local politicians have aligned incentives.

4) So, local laws (zoning, advertising, etc) favor car dealerships.

5) Higher offices are filled from the pool of local politicians, as they move up the food chain.

6) Those politicians remember their contacts @ the dealers, who helped fund/launch their careers, & they remain aligned with them in passing laws empathetic to dealer's interests.

Of course, legitimately, car dealerships have HUGE capital investments (fast aging inventory, large chunks of prime real-estate, staffing costs). Would YC ever want to get into the traditional dealer space? No friggen way. Too risky & doesn't scale.

And, nobody really buys a car without a test drive/showroom. So, nearly any "online" sale is cannibalizing the dealer's investments.

So, we need to have some kind of online buying system where you MUST enter in a dealer showroom code before buying, & they get some commission, as they DO offer real value here folks.

IMO, the whole consumer retail system is going to evolve into "showroom + online buying" in a fair system soon.
I'm intrigued. How can vim and emacs share the same tld?
PG is off the mark here. Companies like Uber explicitly ignore the existing laws and regulations. In the case of Tesla, the ruling just passed.
Speaking from personal experience, unless you expect a user base in the upper 100k to 1M+, you'll be talking less than a cup of coffee from Apple's ad base.

Direct ads may work, but you will need metrics on your users in order to prove the value to potential ad buyers. If you don't fall into either of these two categories, you're better off using either a nominal sum, if you think it's worth it, or doing a freeware version with some features and a paid "deluxe" version.

People will support reasonable prices for genuinely useful apps, but you have to taper your expectations and be prepared for criticism from some users. Even AAA quality apps have someone who "hates" it or thinks it's too expensive.

You only get responses from people who love or hate an app most of the time.
The Bill of Rights is working just fine for me, thanks. Implementation is imperfect, because the human beings who are tasked with implementing it are all imperfect, but I have lived elsewhere, and I can tell the different between having the Bill of Rights and lacking it. A culture of "rule by law rather than rule by men" is important to make laws meaningful, but where I live we largely have that culture. I speak and write freely, my personal possessions are safe from arbitrary seizure, and when I want a jury trial, I can get a jury trial. Many people around the world enjoy none of these freedoms.

In a normal place this is accomplished by increasing building height, increasing the building's footprint and reducing the unit size. No additional land needs to be used and higher density increases efficiency of services such as mass transit as well reducing environmental impact.

Unfortunately SF has some of the most restrictive zoning rules anywhere and, as described in the article, construction usually involves evicting tenants paying well below market rent. Given the highly litigious and politicized environment it is much more likely to get worse than better.
What's next, the governor blocking lanes on the George Washington Bridge to get back at a political opponent?
Holy crap. Is this for real? Dealers are one half of the rotten pie that is the car industry, just let the dealer industry die already. Much like the music business tried fighting digital music only for it to completely take over, the car industry eventually will change to a different model that isn't reliant on an industry lubed up in snake oil and shady business practices.

Extended warranties, sneaky extras and premiums added to your contract, the amount of crap you have to endure when buying a new car these days is horrendously deep. If only more car companies sold directly and allowed you to buy online like Tesla does, I know the lobbyist motor dealerships group would never let that happen though.

No wonder the car industry is in the toilet, it's killing itself and Elon Musk is one of few people trying to change things and he's met with resistance: typical.

Honestly if there were not so many social programs in SF the homeless population would be much lower as they would relocate to other less expensive areas and maybe actually be able to afford a place to live. The current social system in SF mixed with the crazy rent prices actually encourages homelessness.

Even I can't afford to live in SF on "developer" pay, so guess what? I don't I live in SF, I moved south where I could find an apartment at a semi-sane price (still extreme, I could make payments on two Teslas for what I pay in rent).
