Those are completely different marks, from completely different countries, and completely different aims and feel. And as someone who drove multiple cars, from multiple East Asian and European marks, I suggest you try drive newer cars, beca

Same in the US. And if you take the car into an unapproved body shop, maybe it’ll get remotely disabled.

Not that famous, as they used to (maybe still do? I don’t follow) force customers into an NDA in order to warranty fixes.

Siri, what is selection bias?

We're talking about different numbers: I was discussing build/buy, you have some partial numbers about who you buy from.

But that wasn’t my point. My point is that Tesla buys the parts and assembles them. They don’t build the parts. Just like VAG for example (who also assembles, and doesn’t build. They’re actually pretty interesting because they insist on mul

You are conflating the wrong thing. A simple thing isn't necessarily better or easier to quality assure.

This lists country of origin, not manufacturer of said components.

The ability to have devices that are considered unfixable fixed by Chinese tradespeople is amazing. But you can’t get that ROW, and for Chinese car companies to be successful outside China, that’s a must.

Tesla manufactures/assembles about as much as any other western car company.

The hauling capacity is equivalent to a minivan, even if the footprint is bigger.

Try to get spare parts for teslas. Or fix them at a non-Tesla owned shop. Both are 100x more complex and expensive than any other mass produced car made in the last decade 20 years. And it is like that by design: it was never a priority for

What about hardware? If a part breaks, how long do you have to wait for a new one? (Insurance costs for Teslas are extremely high because parts take so long to acquire). How often does it break? (Tesla notoriously don’t use automotive quali

Not just US auto makers. Modern car companies don’t manufacture, they assemble (and for a pretty good reason, but I digress).

Minivans are extremely popular in the US, when lifted and with the roof removed from the back.

Some Chinese auto manufactures are pretty good, but a lot are startups in the worst sense of the term: a couple of months from shutting down. Cars are not disposable, so you kinda want a 15-years of support. Which isn’t just the brand keepi

No, this isn't how this all works. No one cares about the plug itself. The thing people care about is access to charging networks. Tesla recently decided the moat of having their network available only to their own cars isn't wort

At various times, Hyundai offered purchasers of their e-gmp models rebates of $7.5k-10k, or 2 years of free charging at Electrify America stations, or level 2 home adapters/chargers, sometimes including some costs towards installation.

by srockets 2y ago
Your argument is correct, but you're overestimating the actual price of the car by 10%+, and underestimating cost of a level 2 charger by about the same amount (or rather, a level 2 plug or adapter. Unlike DC-DC charging, the AC-DC ch

As is often the case, Go's designed anachronism creates more problem than it solves: had Go had a modern, expressive type system, rather than staying with one from the 70s, this problem would never exists.

Apple Photos in iCloud can also be E2E encrypted (though not by default: you have to explicitly enable that), are indexed locally, and Apple's pricing for storage is about half of this service.

Searching is very similar to a common approach for building a naïve spellchecker: given an input, generate all the possible matches it can be part of. You're not searching in a corpus, you're using the input to generate indices in

More than that: the more you use, the more discounts you can get from a major CSP, which would also reduce the TCO for using a managed service.

by srockets 2y ago
CSPs aren't your cellular provider. You don't get better pricing by telling them you'd switch, because both the AE and yourself (assuming you ever did the math), know it's not a viable option. Trying to be multicloud by

There’s a very good implementation of Wireguard with RBAC. It’s called Tailscale.

Peer reviews are (often) also done by people who live and breathe the subject matter.

I too, would like to have what you’re having. Academic publishing doesn’t make the authors money, it costs them money. To publish is a requirement for academic employment, but there’s no incentive to retract, either than revenge, or one’s a

Why not? Current macOS ships code older than that.
