Ford and the Birth of the Model T

news.ycombinator.com Brian Potter 2025-11-26 22:52:48

This is an excerpt from my forthcoming book, The Origins of Efficiency, out September 23rd. Ford’s status as a large-volume car producer began with the predecessor to the Model T: the Model N, a four-cylinder, two-seater car initially priced at $500. At the time, the average car in the US cost more than $2,000, and it seemed nearly unimaginable that a car with the capabilities of the Model N could cost so little. In 1906, the year the Model N was introduced, Ford sold 8,500 of them, making the

For many months I have refrained from further comment, and although code has not progressed, two things have: 1. Public interest in "complexity" as determined by ACPL (yuck). 2.

“This telegram must be closely paraphrased before being communicated to anyone”

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-29 23:39:47

It appears that it was US military communications doctrine to not send the exact same message twice using different encryption ("none" counting as one type of encryption), and the term of art for changing a message to avoid that was indeed "paraphrase". I managed to dig up a US Army document on Cryptology from roughly that era that appears to discuss paraphrasing.

A while ago, Apple used to include a software feature with macOS on older iMac models. It was called Target Display Mode, and it allowed you to turn an iMac into an external display once your iMac was too dated to be a usable computer. The company got rid of it with the introduction of the 5K iMac due to technical limitations at the time – though said limitations no longer pose a challenge.

Spacing Over Cards

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-30 06:49:11

This post is a rationalisation of “I don’t like cards”. I say that in most cases where cards are used, they don’t need to be used. Specifically, they take space, they let you skip gestalt principles and be lazy and undisciplined, and being so easy to implement they are often used by developers. To multiply the effect, you can put a card into a card, and it seems so hard not to do so. We recognise patterns. This is known for quite some time, specifically Wertheimer in 1923 wrote the paper that e

The UK’s widely scattered overseas territories, sparse though they are, mean that the sun is still always shining, somewhere in the world, over British territory.

Touted As The Tesla-Killer, Lucid Scrambles to Stay On The NASDAQ

Beleaguered electric vehicle company Lucid Motors (LCID) has implemented a reverse stock split, consolidating shares to meet NASDAQ’s $1 minimum trading price and prevent delisting. As of Friday, Lucid’s share price was down over 96% from its all-time high of $64.86, reached in February 2021. While this move may protect the company from being removed from the exchange for now, it does little to address the underlying issues plaguing the struggling electric vehicle maker.
