You are comparing two different things. Email is a generic concept - it's not proprietary . A message sent through Whatsapp is an instance of the whatsapp application - not a standard message.
Basically, if we push your analysis further, Facebook, which is a communication application, should let you send a message to your twitter account, that you could read with twitter, and reply with a comment on an Instagram picture. That'd be the same thing - I mean, they are all "messages" somehow, aren't they? See, it's - as you say - clearly idiotic as no one would open its platform that much.
It's not an issue I care enough about to be able to do my best, I'm afraid :) But good luck!
To be fair, you can get all 3 of those w/ Mithril. If you want a good comparison, the devil's in the details :)
Two factor authentication is a good defense against many practical threats but...

Wasn't Mr. Miranda's cell phone confiscated as well? That's what I understood from the news reports, they took his laptop and his phone, and required his passwords. So your regular Google/Facebook two factor authentication is useless if you've lost your phone.
The pure rage this website brought me. I blame that for my loss of logic.

All I could think to myself was "not another one"
I did in another comment in regards to goose necks. The bed is where it’s at for practical truck use outside urban areas. This design ruins a lot of obvious uses in my opinion (reach ability, tie downs, latter racks, tool boxes, loading and hauling). The slope bed sides are really what stand out as a mistake to me.

I see this being a great replacement for the Chevy Avalanche though
Agreed. I continue to want Tesla to wildly succeed. I don’t know anything about actual pickup trucks or why people buy them. Which is why I mainly commented on the presentation style.
Also re: slavery I would agree with your characterization of most defenses of (American) slavery. The next natural question follows: what to do about it? Have you heard of the 1835 postcard campaign?

In that case, loudly and publicly condemning groups of people tends to cause them to circle the wagons and double down on their positions. I think there's a lesson for today there as well.
If only Google could be persuaded to restore things they broke. But, that's life when you're not the customer, but the product.
There's also strain in an inelastic collision. More strain = less acceleration = more living. Super rigid structure = less train = more acceleration = less living. No doubt the airbags and whatnot will make this very safe from the inside. I'm just worried about from the outside. But whatever. Not too worried. Plus, who knows, maybe they did design in strategic crumple zones. They never said they didn't. Just got me worried with the sledge.
Wholeheartedly agree. Musk doesn't seem to give a shit about presentations. I won't be surprised if he doesn't even throw a fit at the window breakage fiasco. In Jobs world, that team would have been fired by now.

Musk is a tinkerer and it shows in all the aspects that you have outlined.

Regarding the interior - some 3-4 guys stepped out of the truck implying it must be quite spacious. An ATV could fit in the bed. So this truck is most likely going to sell. Pricing is spot on.
I think the explanation is much simpler, the guy threw it faster than it was falling in the earlier test. After ~8m (more than the 20-25 feet someone else estimated) the ball is only going ~45 km/h or ~28 mph which is pretty slow actually.
Kinda reminds me of the ships in the Descent series.
Exactly right, Michael.
Revolut is like dealing with a shady loan shark dude that hangs out in an amusement arcade. One day he tells you one story, you can't get hold of him for a while, he sends you texts promising fantastic things and big discounts, then you track him down and the story has changed.

Dear HN crowd, don't waste your time and money with the sharks at Revolut, and be doubly wary of working for them.
Was this maybe a BBVA feature? Azlo did this as well and referred to them as envelopes.
I just don't understand giving your banking credentials to a third party. Will your bank even cover fraudulent withdraws if you give your login info to Mint?
Everyone I want to talk to is on Telegram now. If you can't manage that, SMS works fine.
Obviously all computers left around in offices should be considered unsafe. Confidential information may have been leaked.

But Capitol has SCIF's for storing top secret information and committee meetings that deal with classified information. You can't bring your own laptops or even phones to them.
It’s a great news. Hyundai and its luxury brand Genesis are taking over the car market fast.
This is exciting news. At first when I heard Apple car rumors, I thought maybe Foxconn would start trying to manufacture cars for them, and that was a dubious proposition to me.

Hyundai/Kia have steadily turned into top tier car companies over the last few years, and Hyundai’s Genesis luxury brand has been receiving glowing reviews lately.

A partnership with these ascending and well-established companies to manufacture their cars would give me much more confidence in Apple’s car ambitions.
In this market? Not at all. We are living in a historically unparalleled employment market for technology professionals. In no other market in history have a special category of 20-somethings by the tens of thousands been paid 5 times the average compensation of the average citizen of the world's richest country.

The demand for tech professionals is extraordinarily high, and sharp career-minded technologists know that keeping in touch with the market can lead to dramatic increases in their cash compensation.
Right, if you do believe those things, I could understand how you view this as a patriotic event, but where is the proof? Where is the evidence? Countless sources have debunked the president's claims and at this point even his closest allies are admitting his position is untenable and are abandoning him.

In addition to critically looking at the election, I implore you to critically look at the president with the same scrutiny and same demand for accountability and evidence. You're not dumb. Being selective with your application of critical reasoning is how you get duped. Don't fall for the misdirection. Consider his motives, his incentives. Do you really think he wants to give up power? What evidence has he presented? None. Take a closer look at his rhetoric, you'll find it's empty. Yesterday, he promised to march with the "protestors"--did he? Do you really trust a leader who cannot even uphold such a simple promise? Listen to his phone call with Raffensperger. He tells him to "just say you recalculated" -- this is not a person who has or wants evidence for anything. He understands the power of the media and the old adage that if you just repeat something enough, suckers will eventually believe it.

Look carefully at other countries that have "fair elections" and dictators that are "re-elected" constantly. Consider their tactics. Consider what they say about elections. Who does it remind you of?

Or, you know, continue to demonize the lefties who want to give you free healthcare, eliminate poverty, save the planet, stop police from indiscriminately murdering people, etc. The left isn't looking to tax the shit out of the average person you know...they want to take business sharks like the president who have made most of their massive fortunes screwing other people (not familiar w/ that? research some of the 45th's business history in NY). Think that's just smart business? Newsflash--he's screwing you just like he screwed the contractors. He's making bank and you'll be paying for it.
It's definitely a tricky issue. While we do need natural resources to support a transition to renewables, the mining industry is comically slow to move on anything. Fortran might still be considered cutting edge to some companies.

This has real impacts. Because if your resource models are inaccurate, then your environmental impact is magnified. What's worse is that mine lifecycles are very long. Long enough to mean the decision makers when opening a mine, might not be around when the mine closes. Which can cause carelessness, especially if they don't live in the area.

Stricter environmental impact assessment rules might work. But geo-scientific research is underfunded. So making it harder to open a mine, might cause the overall funding for research to reduce. Causing our models, especially in the mineral exploration stage, to not really advance much. So nothing really gets done until some country deregulates the industry, and so the problem persists.

So moves like this can work, but the research has to be there to support the new age of mining. There's some trade off here, between mining and burning fossil fuels. But this seems to be an example of where the negative effects of mining more REM are local, where as the negative effects of burning more Fossil fuels are global. But it's not a binary decision in most cases.
It has always been super slow for me, but they're making it even slower over time.
Not really relevant. But I finally got a word to describe my feeling at my previous job. Boreout.
OK, noone else likes complexity. my bad.
I think Craigslist/Gumtree/Kijiji are already done for. Their big value came from cross-selling across products and being the one place for everything. This was hugely valuable in the time of Yahoo where content discovery was difficult.

Now with the ease of content discovery the market is fragmenting into specialist sites, look at the profitable areas of Cragislist: housing, cars, dating. They all have specialist sites which are doing better than Craigslist, by taking the most profitable chunks of the market niche competitors are able to spend more per user in marketing and thus beat Craigslist.

In ten years time Craigslist is just going to be left with the least profitable classified ads. You have to ask yourself is that what you want to be competing for ?

Your best bet would probably to concentrate on a particular niche that you want to steal away from Craigslist (local sales, etc.) and figure out the problems people face in that niche and use that to break into the market, rather than trying to compete with Craigslist across the board in what is already a dying model.
It means that you type 'dotcloud scale' and wait 10 seconds :)

We offer resource usage data, so you can make an informed decision when scaling. You are correct that a very sudden surge can still screw you - but we are preparing an alert feature to help you mitigate this.
Re-doing social networks based on one size fits all social activity streams seems like it's going in the wrong direction. Especially since these social shapes typically necessitate funding requirements like ads or pay to play.

I wonder when we'll go back to forums to connect. Earlier "slow social" methods (mailing lists / message boards). Forums can be free. People can self-host. They can run for years and years and years. Folks can organize around a single subject or a series of subjects and grow together over time at various levels of engagement without resorting to a one size fits all model that social networks force on users.

I really enjoyed running forums for my friends. I never had to pay giant server fees because it was just a few of us. We had 100K page views per month. We never had to have ads. We had forum permissions and mods and a lot of fun times.

I see Discord being similar to this vs. social media, where you can slowly join communities and get nearer to the core. More of an onion model of community. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in this space.
This is very theoretical and won't hold up in the real world. You also need to factor in the costs of hot standby equipment (can you provision a server with 68GB RAM within minutes?), service (whom do you pay and how much for a) servicing your hardware b) being on standby to fix issues within single hours).

You need to train your people that will maintain the physical servers. You need to factor in the probability of their mistakes (in my experience from a supercomputing center most problems were caused by people touching equipment).

And of course when you get mentioned on CNN you need to be able to handle the traffic peak.

Runnning a real world operation really isn't as simple as adding numbers from a colocation price table.
They changed right after they started buying up movie production, music production, and game production. Then all the good engineering, good standards, and open nature were thrown out in favor of user lock-in, DRM, and piracy prevention.

If anything will be the downfall of Sony I have to say that Sony/Columbia Music started it. With their ridiculous copybit protection on DAT. How a million dollar division (media) dictates a billion dollar division (electronics) to come up with these schemes is beyond my comprehension.

Gizmodo link that worked for me.

Looks great. Simple, robust, decent size, solar powered, ventilated, lockable.
http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Patrick_Moore

Patrick Moore is an ecologist who denies that humans cause climate change, and a corporate consultant through his firm Greenspirit Strategies. Moore has consulted for the Nuclear Energy Institute, and the Clean and Safe Energy Coalition. He has worked for the mining industry, the logging industry, PVC manufacturers, the nuclear industry and has worked in defense of biotechnology.

Although Moore was once (1981, 1986) a leading figure with Greenpeace Canada and subsequently with Greenpeace International, in 2008 Greenpeace issued a statement distancing itself from Moore, saying he "exploits long gone ties with Greenpeace to sell himself as a speaker and pro-corporate spokesperson, usually taking positions that Greenpeace opposes."

We shouldn't compare the worst of humanity against the worst of humanity. That gets us nowhere. Instead we should be comparing the worst against the best and looking to see how those issues can be rectified.
Does Mahalo store lots of people's private information and continue to make more of it accessible to the public?
Something like "you should explain a joke, it's like dissecting a frog. It's messy and the frog doesn't survive the process" went a quote whose original source or exact wording I can't find now.

For what it's worth I meant it in the sense that euccastro pointed out. Not that this particular change made things worse, but that entering into a deal which one of the parties can arbitrarily change doesn't make for the stablest of work environments.
Mechanical CAD software like Solidworks and PCB layout software like PADS is expensive and sold through resellers. I can't compare prices between different vendors without giving them my contact information, which results spam.

There are a few semi-exceptions (Sketchup for mechanical CAD and Eagle for PCB layout) but neither is strong competition for the market leaders.
On the contrary--if you increase baggage fees, you could reduce the amount of baggage (making it easier to handle) and have more $-per-bag to spend on your fast baggage handling system.
librsync, libbzip, and a host of other LGPLd libraries are what make Dropbox go. There would be no Dropbox without the ""Open Source"" community. Dropbox--along with a lot of other companies (namely, Apple)--derive a lot of their success from going the last mile, that is wiring all these powerful OSS technologies together in a package that is intuitive and easy to use. Engineers typically are either uninterested in doing this, and that is why an open source Dropbox never came along.
"Tweet" is already on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tweet

So anybody reading the NYT could easily look that up, in case they lived under rock for the past three years.
Think about who you're dealing with. If you become truly effective, you might get a unpleasant visit.

As for how this came about, the DPRK has had a nuclear armed protector since August 1949 ... which strangely enough is 10 months before they started the war.
"I think this administration, like every other administration, is driven to distraction by leaking,” Mr. Aftergood [the head of the FAS project on government secrecy] said. “And Congress wants a few scalps, too. On a bipartisan basis, they want these prosecutions to proceed." (my brackets and italics)

Always beware bipartisan efforts when your nation's two parties distinguish between each other on the basis of identity politics, rather than ideological differences. The only efforts both parties could jointly support are either political platitudes or mutual self-preservation.

Bring back the Federalists and Democratic-Republicans!
HTML5 is not up to Flash at this time. There's no decent IDE, it's sluggish and it's not even a standard yet. I don't doubt its capabilities, but for NOW it's not doing enough to deserve the hype.

So, please, stop making this silly comparisons, especially because you are comparing different PRODUCTS, not only different platforms as you advertise. You are just hurting the image of the platform.

I'll be glad to use HTML5 in all my works when it's finished, but for now my answer is "hell no."
That's a good argument. I stand corrected.
Interruptions collapsing the mental model into fragments reminds me of a pg quote about interruptions that has always chimed with me.

But the time quantum for hacking is very long: it might take an hour just to load a problem into your head. So the cost of having someone from personnel call you about a form you forgot to fill out can be huge.

This is why hackers give you such a baleful stare as they turn from their screen to answer your question. Inside their heads a giant house of cards is tottering.

I appreciate the link.
Agree with angersock. It's really hard to know what you're looking at with such a vague description. It's hard to give any kind of good answer with solid recommendations without more information for a company of that size.
I honestly don't understand all the downvotes on this comment.

Time restriction is a tool available to restrict caloric intake (It's hard to eat 3000 calories in 4 hours. It's much easier given 18 hours).

Yeah, timing matters a little, but it's an optimization that really makes a different on the fringes (ie, professional bodybuilder).
And you definitely can't tow without side mirrors.
Those are not actually the same. There are several differences, but the most obvious one is that the standard ABI on x86-64 Linux passes integer parameters in the following order: rdi, rsi, rdx, rcx, r8, r9.

I noticed this immediately the first time I tried reading some Windows disassembly, as “rdi rsi rdx” is very thoroughly burned into my brain...
I realize that. I just don’t view that aesthetic as a good thing and apparently Tesla does.
Thanks. That was part of it.

I think I may also have been recalling Wabi, a Windows Application Binary Interface for Solaris, effectively rather like Wine, I believe.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wabi_(software)
What I don't like, is that it keeps the tab close button on the right. I fix it with a bit of code in UserChrome.css but it'd be great if they would stick a bit closer to the platform. To be fair, except for obviously Safari, most other browsers do the same.
I like your grey area analogy. Why do we constantly feel the need to validate our own personal point of view as the only correct solution while completely ignoring or even considering the potential from an opposite angle?

Even in the worst scenario in which the opposite side could be in the wrong, but surely there must be at least a few good things come out of it. We ought to focus on those details. Our world is indeed full of grey areas, but human nature just tends to default to a black and white, us vs. them mentality. It probably helps to strengthen our individual identity, yet it hinders and limits our full potential at the same time.

Even the strongest ideology will never stand the test of time as it is only created by humans, for it must constantly evolve or be replaced by another one due to human limited life expectancy. It can never be true forever in a dynamically changing world.

The key to intelligence is being able to hold two opposing ideas together in our minds while still function perfectly well at the same time. This, by the way, is a teaching that comes from the West.
honestly i think my 4 year old could design a better looking truck
Wanting to see him succeed or not aside, I find this far more intriguing and alluring. Apple keynote, especially recent ones, have become so cookiecutter and predictable. The surprise and strangeness factor is what makes Tesla events so irresistible. You truly feel like anything could happen, even the window breaking TWICE.
I think this really comes down to expectations. Imo, Tesla is a luxury brand. I get that some people feel like the Model 3 is a Tesla for the common man but the common man is either buying used or they're buying something that can be reliably fueled. That being said, and the reason for saying it, in the world of luxury brands idea matters too. The idea that an electric vehicle can compete on most of the spec sheet with a combustion/hybrid engine is sexy to people with futurist enthusiasms because electric things are being pushed as the sexy eco-friendly future right now. Obviously that's all just my own opinions, but I've yet to see much else to explain Tesla's balance sheets (plain incompetence isn't something I'm willing to buy into from the CEO that's working at innovating the astro services market as we speak).
Beyond the merits of "don't do business with anyone in China because of the actions of its government", I think that YC has not been known to take such strong ethical stands in the past.

The simpler explanation is probably that the business climate is super risky if you're the foreign partner in any sort of JV with China, and they thought they could work through it through ... charisma and sweat and tears. And it turns out that in fact it is hard even if you're some techy VC or w/e.

I think few question what the gov't is doing, but the question is more whether YC in particular was affected by actions in the past year that caused them to reverse course.
DF also already has an almost silly level of ambition:

"This will download and install all updates available for your Mac: sudo softwareupdate -i -a"

I'm assuming that it won't install App Store software that is in your account but not installed on the current machine? Which if so is a shame that Apple haven't exposed this via the command line (preferably specifying the name of the application to install).
> British Prime Minister David Cameron recently pledged that “modern forms of communication” should not be “exempt from being listened to.”

Why not? By the same logic, tables at all restaurants should be bugged.

Before technology, when people met the only way to know what they were saying was to be there. The world survived that.
First, an argument that can only be falsified by running an experiment that involves the armed overthrow of the government is not really in the spirit of "falsifiability".

More importantly, you've missed my point. Which was, to the extent you can make these NSA claims about the Brown case, you can make them about every criminal justice case. Which, fine, but I think it'd be more intellectually to lead off with the fact that you don't believe it's possible that any criminal investigation in the US is conducted in good faith.

Here, the argument that NSA secretly tipped the FBI off is especially outlandish because Hector Monsegur ratted Brown out. The FBI had a gold-plated criminal informant. Why would they jeopardize their case with tainted SIGINT?
I agree that you don't, but don't know what that has to do with this thread.
