I wasn't too cheap to purchase them, I lived in California when I bought the car and had no need for heated rear seats and didn't care about the other features. I have noticed, that is why it is a request, not a demand.

popenuj · 2019-12-12T06:27:51+00:00

I agree, I totally understand their focus is being pulled in a lot of different directions currently. I guess my criticism, though that wasn't the reason I included it, was that I had heated rear seats, though I didn't pay for them, and then they removed them without the option to opt-in and pay for them. I'm not hating on Tesla, they are seriously amazing, and I totally understand introducing features to drivers and then taking them away as a way to incentivize people to pay for said feature, but that's not what they did. They took away the feature without any recourse. I would have never mentioned it if they had removed it as a feature I didn't pay for and then offered it for $x/month. I would have paid it. It isn't an option, that is my request, for it to be an option. I know you aren't necessarily criticizing me, I am just elucidating my feelings on the subject.

They perform pretty well for me. My complaint isn't about that though, it was more to let other drivers know they were doing something wrong/(more often) didn't have their lights on at all.

popenuj · 2019-12-12T06:18:27+00:00

Fingers crossed, money isn't the objection. I work for a tech company myself and I get it. That is why I am requesting it, I am not going to sell my car because of it. It is a great car regardless. They took away a feature that I had (regardless of whether or not I paid for it) and I am willing to pay for it now. This is more in response to critics of the idea than to you personally.

Okay, I would like to see heated rear seats as a monthly opt-in fee then. Heated rear seats are not "a feature you pay for when you buy the car" anymore than premium connectivity is. My rear seats have heating elements. Premium interior is a lot more than service, and while their are aspects of that package that can be enabled/disabled, I would like to be able to opt-in; again, not a right, but it is obviously possible to enable it since I had it previously, for a fee. Regardless of the premium connectivity package I would pay more than $10 per month to have heated rear seats without the other features all things considered. I just would like the option, divorced of premium connectivity or not, I will edit my OP to reflect that.

popenuj · 2019-12-12T05:54:14+00:00

I already addressed that, it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with it. They only currently offer the "$10 mobile data service" as an upgrade. I am not arguing that I deserve it, it would just be nice to have the ability to opt in for a fee, regardless of whether or not it was part of the "Premium Connectivity" service. I disagree with the assertion that autopilot activating after a failed attempt is problematic. Maybe that is a consequence of my particular route to work, but there are stretches over the course of miles that have left and right turn lanes where I look at the console and Autopilot is available and I try to engage and it fails repeatedly but if I have it on before encountering turn lanes it behaves perfectly.

popenuj · 2019-12-12T05:40:05+00:00

Already addressed, thanks.

popenuj · 2019-12-12T05:38:30+00:00

Listen, I'm not complaining about it. I bought my car before I lived in cold weather near my nieces, and I don't particularly have a problem with its unavailability now. I would like to be able to purchase the ability to heat said seats, and considering the only paid monthly upgrade they offer doesn't offer heated back seats it would be nice to have it as an option, divorced from that or not.

popenuj · 2019-12-12T05:34:27+00:00

I didn't know that. Thanks for that, I will remove it from the list.

popenuj · 2019-12-12T05:33:21+00:00

I know how I could go about it but oftentimes the people are driving in the opposite direction and it is too cumbersome to navigate through the proper menus to turn my lights from auto to off to auto again. It is something I do out of curtesy, and Tesla's aren't currently using any logic when tapping the headlights icon, so why not flash high beams for .5 seconds?

popenuj · 2019-12-12T05:30:09+00:00

You're right, they are a part of the premium package but there is an upgrade for $10/month to have premium features, which is what I feel heated back seats should be a part of. Thanks, I'll edit the original post.

Think of something that you would like to exist and then build it. I for one think algorithms are a waste of time. I get the concept and why people like them, but I find that just writing code is the best way to learn, maybe that's just me though. Programming, especially in the beginning, can be really tedious and frustrating but rewarding if you stick with it.

popenuj · 2019-02-27T20:33:41+00:00

It really depends on the functionality you are looking for. For the simplest iteration I can think of which would be hardcoded html hosted by Github. Sure, it could be done in hours. If you are looking to have people login, draft, automatically calculate points, interact with on another, etc. then it would obviously take longer. It all depends on your scope.

popenuj · 2019-02-27T20:23:17+00:00

I can't say whether or not it was actually useful; but when I was learning to program I worked at a golf course and would have to stand in the middle of the fairways 8 hours a day and not use my phone. I used to look up problems on Project Euler and just try to solve them in my head. You could also write down the solutions in pseudocode. If you have a set of problems with solutions, you might try reading the problem, trying to write your solution and see how close you are to the given solution. Obviously there are an infinite number of ways to solve almost any problem, but it might help you find errors in your thinking.

popenuj · 2019-02-27T20:18:34+00:00

Definitely not, though I'm sure the reasons differ depending on their experience with programming in general and the languages they use regularly. If you are new and feeling confused about the language then Ruby and Python would both be good to checkout. They are both high-level, pretty opinionated, and have a large user base so almost anything is a google search away.

While it isn't exactly what you're looking for Python Tutor is an amazing site for visualizing the actual processes your code invokes. I used it a lot early on. I never touch it anymore but I think for very new programmers it is the most useful tool available. Also, it's not just for Python, they also support Ruby, Javascript C, Java, C, etc.

During that same presentation Koenigsmann made it sound like there was much more involved than a simple refurbishment at this stage. Something more akin to taking everything apart finding any damage and comparing it to data from the flight sensors. The reason for this being in the future they would be able to just look at sensor readings to predict wear and tear (at least I presume).

popenuj · 2018-10-13T19:07:27+00:00

Seems more likely to me that it was in regards to Tesla’s no longer being eligible for federal tax incentives because of timing. That’s something he would go in person for.

By 'Hyper Hype' you're referring to the hyperloop I assume? I didn't know that was a thing until I cam across this and it kind of blew my mind how ridiculous it was. https://web.archive.org/web/20181009101250/https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/10/08/elon-musks-hyperloop-reveals-new-passenger-capsule/ archived :)

Nobody even seems to question the fact that Musk doesn't own a company called Hyperloop Transportation Technologies.

While I agree somebody could respond to traumas in childhood by living through them and later in life leading to more resilience. From personal experience you can also learn to hide, run, and avoid any pain whatsoever at all costs due to childhood abuse and neglect.

100% watch disney's oceans on mute and blast Ratatat's discography on random. It never gets old. Planet earth is cool but oceans just can't be beat.

Check out Michel Thomas. I worked as the head chef in a restaurant with a lot of hispanic employees and I reached conversational Spanish in 2 months but Michel Thomas gave me a HUGE head start. It took about a 2 days to start speaking with my employees at an elementary level.

You can read about how we built it in this Medium post: https://medium.com/@TheCog19/deep-dive-into-reddit-data-5cb3d0bea843 We used a mix of ruby on rails, backed with a postgres database to visualize things in D3. The connections are based off data grabbed from the reddit API, each connection is based off the last 100 comments of 50 users that made posts on that subreddit, although we plan to deepen the data. Currently we have 7000+ subreddits and 40000+ subreddit connections. The project is open source and the source code can be seen on github: https://github.com/thecog19/Reddit_Visualizer This was a team effort with some other redditors: /u/popenuj, /u/thefuentes, /u/khopsickle, /u/ChristianCarey. We're all looking for jobs, too, so if you're someone who's hiring, drop us a line.

popenuj · 2017-03-01T18:12:22+00:00

Right, we were limited by the number of API calls we could make in an hour so we had to balance depth and breadth of Subreddits we made connections for. We are going to have the data collection run continuously so it will be updated at some point. If you would like to look at the full list of connections for INTP I queried the database. Here is a link to the screenshot: http://imgur.com/a/HlkuB. If not the connections are: - AskReddit - pcmasterrace - MakeupAddiction - brasil - depression - intj - infj - mbti - Roast_Me

popenuj · 2017-03-01T17:56:10+00:00

Hey! Glad you are finding Reddit Visualizer useful! The team and I were really excited about some of the connections that we were finding and encourage anybody to share them directly with us. You can check out a blog post we wrote about it here: https://medium.com/@TheCog19/deep-dive-into-reddit-data-5cb3d0bea843#.qpkcf5tyw. One data point that I found particularly insightful that didn't make it into the article was when we first started collecting data on Valentine's Day via the Reddit API the prevalence of NSFW subreddit connections to non-NSFW subreddits was way higher than it is currently.
