The problem is the byzantine nature of the car market in the US.

It's split up in 50 states plus DC. Thus you have all these patchwork set of laws.

It favors the local dealer easily as they get quite cozy with the state legislature and dictate terms. AKA a regulatory capture environment.

The Feds will not touch this issue as it's too much of a political landmine to consolidate the whole market to be regulated on a federal level. Everything else about the car except sales is consolidated (safety, design, emissions, etc)

This is the nature of the Untied States - 50 states doing their own thing as long as the economy is within the borders. See health care, insurance, funeral business, hairdressers, and so on.

The model has its pluses and drawbacks. Unfortunately we are seeing the drawback with Tesla.

The only option I think is for Tesla to focus on their online presence and in the long term people will develop habits of buying a car through that way. Then maybe finally the stupid dealer cartel will die off.

Yeah, I agree it would be annoying for long-form content (which is why magazines/newspapers never really adopted layouts like that in earnest) even if only because we've learned to read and therefore favor rectangular blocks of text.

Reminds me of this classic: http://www.abyssapexzine.com/wikihistory/

"Everybody kills Hitler on their first trip."
Tesla said the sales restrictions under its license agreement are applicable on a calendar year basis. GADA, which represents 500 dealerships, said in its Aug. 29 petition that Tesla sold 173 sedans in the period from October to June.

So in essence, the law perhaps ambiguously states that you can not sell more than 150 cars in a year. The dealerships are interpreting this as "more than 150 cars in any 12 month span" whereas Tesla is interpreting this as "more than 150 cars in a calendar year". On its face, Tesla has the stronger argument.

This is a poor article. It is reporting on a simple table top device created by researchers eager to misrepresent their work. It tells us essentially nothing about quantum mechanics or CTCs.

We don't know how quantum mechanics behaves in the presence of CTCs. There are multiple, mutually incompatible proposals for extending QM in this regime that all make identical predictions in normal, causal spacetimes (i.e. the only sorts of spacetimes we have access to). Deutch has one extension of QM, and it suffers from serious internal consistency problems, but there are others.

Since this experiment takes place without CTCs, it can't tell us anything we didn't already know. It's literally just a toy device that is sorta described by the same math as a certain system with CTCs in QM_Deutch would be, if you squint your eyes hard enough. But you could say the same thing about a computer simulating QM_Deutch in software. It tells you nothing about whether the universe actually obeys QM_Deutch in the presence of CTCs ... if they exist at all.

Similarly deceptive bits of "research" in the news often appear that claim to find quantum gravity effects on table-top experiments.

In all these cases, the scientists will eagerly over-represent their work to the journalist, and the journalist will eagerly gobble it up and write eye-catching headlines about new breakthroughs in physics, but the heart of the claim will be buried in the article and subtly couched in weasel words. And if you actually try to drive down at it by asking probing questions, the journal and scientist will retreat to much, much less exciting claims and you will never be able to prove they intended otherwise.

I keep hearing this from C proponents, yet I never found a use case where C dialects (this was before standards were widespread) offered more close to the metal features than Pascal dialects or other system programming languages for that matter.

Every time I ask a C code to tell me a closer to the metal feature other system programming language compilers lack, I come out empty handed.

After squashing, the new all-in-one migration should be used for tests, and should be more or less identical to syncdb.

"I'm not aware of a single one of the commonly used firewall distros that enables selinux"

commonly used "for" firewalls distro is Debian and selinux "works" on vanilla Debian. Its a labor hog making it less efficient to enable selinux than to look for / fix other problems, but it can be done if you insist and are willing to spend less time securing more important areas (pretty much everything, unfortunately)

On the other hand I am also unable to find a "firewall distro" solely for FW work that does selinux as of last time I looked. Hard to prove a negative but it is possible to prove that if it exists, its well hidden. The marketplace for FW distros is focused on ease of use, security theater, and authoritarianism and credentialism so actual security related features are going to be a pretty low priority in the market, which is humorous / ironic.

If I remember correctly the CLR implementation of Scala was scrapped because there were some limitations with the CLR's reified generic type system that made it impossible to express scala's type system.

Email is simple the way a plane is simple. As long as you don't see all the moving parts, and get to go along for the ride, it just seems like a magical flying tube!

I spent about 18 months on an email client project (was already 3 years in when I joined the team). I can tell you email is insane... so much more broken than you would expect (on all sides).

There is a reason many clients do "gmail" instead of "email". "Email" is a nasty barely functional ball of duct tape greased with WD-40 in the places it needs to go fast -- the fact that it works at all is breathtaking and only explained by the fact that it is one of the "killer features" of the internet.

The number of broken clients and servers is shocking and breathtaking. So you have to accept and expect bad data from everywhere. From the server directly, violating the imap spec, and in the body of the message violating all sanity. Yet, your users will see any failure as "this email client sucks" because the OTHER older email clients have already seen this idiocy and custom coded around it. Email clients end up being giant laundry lists of "if <stupid server> (act way 1)", "if created with <stupid client> (render 'right' way 2)"...

The reason new email clients are relatively slow to be created, and even fewer take off, is they are forced to deal with an insane clusterfuck of standards and corner cases to get to that 80% good enough mark -- or simply build out to one service at a time (we support gmail, hotmail and yahoo... etc).

There are 20+ RFCs you need to deal with the cover the spectrum of "basic" email with calendaring across a number of servers. That is just the "good" standard parts. On top of that you have the hundreds of server oddities that you need to handle else your email client will fail to get email off broken server X. Add to that the hundreds of rendering special cases you need to be aware of (ohh, this game from old outlook, so X means Y).

After you do all that, you have to deal with spam (both how servers tell you about it, how you show it, how you maintain it, etc) and an entire new set of oddities (very similar but simpler) for sending mail.

FastMail has an idea floating around that appears less terrible: http://jmap.io/ -- but I am blissfully out of that industry and simply don't care anymore.

EDIT: For the record, I agree with the article, email will be around for a long time, it is the "point of record" -- many of the "email killers" require your email address to sign up... so...

Does migration squashing do what you are looking for: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/migrations/#squ... ?

After squashing and migrating all existing databases, you can delete the old migrations files. The squashed migration becomes the new fresh migration that should usually contain just "CREATE TABLE" statements to be run on an empty database.

> but a lot harder to write compilers that emit fast and correct code.

The hard part is being confident you have correct code for all cases even the rare edge cases.

Producing something that works for the happy path is easy. Producing something that works correctly for a wide range of input test conditions is more long winded but still not difficult. This sort of work is about mapping the inputs, assumptions, and outputs into a minimal (mathematical) form and using that to prove that for all cases the process correctly maps one to the other - to try prove that there can be no input for which the output is invalid.

Sure, I wouldn't want that. But it shows you can sell stuff to the poor and make a profit. If you can sell them crap, it seems likely you could also sell them useful things.

The mothers: where I live the single moms are often on welfare (at least the media says so), that's why I thought of the government. Because the government feeds them directly. So if you could convince the government that every mother needs X (I don't know, free baby bottles because research has shown kids teeth deteriorate because poor moms don't buy bottles often enough bla bla bla), you would be on your way to a government contract of sorts.

The point is that if they are a big enough group, and you provide something they need, you can make money (I suppose).

I don't think your first paragraph is true. Plenty of companies targeting savvy (read: up-market) consumers still use "dark patterns" to try and trick them or rip them off: Free trials that bill you unless you cancel, opt-out special fees, shady marketing that borders on spam.

Honestly, when I think of the things I regularly spend money on, there are precious few where I feel "This is a great product that I am happy to support" much more common is the feeling "Well, I really need X, and they're the only ones that make an even halfway acceptable X." or "I guess Y is okay, but it's overpriced for what it does."
But the gov't creates the budget. They choose what to spend that $20 on.

INSERT IGNORE and REPLACE are two pretty good reasons, in my opinion. Postgres also doesn't have real table partitioning. Yes, you can sorta kinda hack around the first with stored procs. And yes, you can do something that looks a lot like partitioned tables using table inheritance. And yes, Postgres now has replication support, if you don't mind using only row-based replication (MySQL lets you choose between row-based and statement-based replication) among other tradeoffs.

So yeah, Postgres is a better relational database than MySQL, if you ignore all the things MySQL does better. Another great thing about Postgres is that whenever a site like Hacker News gets a thread about MySQL, you get a bunch of people asking why you aren't using Postgres instead, and then whenever you try and answer the question you get a bunch of Postgres users to tell you you're wrong or that the features you care about don't matter (or that they're hard to implement, which... this is my problem why?) or that Postgres really has replication that's as good as MySQL's this time we pinky swear. So most MySQL users get a first impression of Postgres' user community that is quite frankly rather unfavorable.

Oh, and MySQL has a lot more third-party documentation, tooling and support available.

Just posting a link doesn't disprove the point. The methodology is completely based on their ideology.

"The property rights component is a qualitative assessment"

They score the US as an 80. Based on their own ratings, I think the US should be a 90.

The [Fiscal Freedom] score is derived from three quantitative factors:

The top marginal tax rate on individual income,
The top marginal tax rate on corporate income, and
The total tax burden as a percentage of GDP."

That is pure ideological bullshit. Total tax burden as a % of GDP is an actual measure, but why is the only marginal tax rate that matters the top one? The difference in marginal tax rate is actually larger at other steps in the US Tax code, but they want to focus solely on the top one? Also, why measure the marginal corporate tax rate but not the effective corporate tax rate (as they correctly do for personal taxes).

The "Business Freedom" index is trying to measure how much regulation there is - which is what you would think this entire ranking is about. It does a pretty poor job of it, though I think this is a hard task.

It goes downhill from there. Thanks for the providing the link, it proves the original point that the index is ideological nonsense very well.
