The model S was released almost 9 years ago.

That should have been the wake up call to get things started on the technology side to the point where they would be ready to start ramping up production now.

Ramping up much later than 5 years from now will probably be too late.

> So is the idea that the rest if the industry will just evaporate and Tesla becomes the Xerox of cars?

If they don’t adapt they will die out.

P.S. I'm not saying Tesla's valuation is justified, just that existing car makers better hurry up or they'll be left behind.
If your definition of "floppy" is just the form-factor than 3.5" floppies topped out around 240MB[1]. If you mean the actual magnetic media (not flopptical[2]) then the same drives could format a standard double-sided high-density 3.5" floppy to 32MB, which is only an 8x difference.

1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperDisk

2: The technical reason why these disks could have higher density was due to being able to use optical elements as a servo-mechanism, rather than just using dead-reckoning like a floppy would. This required the disk to be printed with marks that had high contrast in the infrared range.
You just cannot write semantically equivalent code in Scala, because it uses the garbage collector.
Learning each other's languages. Became enough I started to make an app around it.

Actually love the increased time together. I thought about heading up with chess against each other too. We played some Jaipur and Dominion.

Though in the end, we moved out and started to go nomadic.

It looks like their motivation behind the holiday attacks on Xbox LIVE and PSN was to get following on their Twitter account to advertise their DDoS-as-a-service platform.
>For one thing, it means you cannot work with files larger than maybe 3 GB, or even 3 1 GB files, in a 32 bit process.

Serious question : is it bad to assume a 64-bit capable running environment for developer's computers nowadays? I feel like it's better to run with something simple (and way less error prone) if the cost is some 32-bit issues like stated.

Granted, vim is a special case, since we're running this through ssh on servers or whatnot.

Lots of really good cases mentioned in this post, though, bet you make a good debugger
Indeed - one might equivalently say that "taunt" sounds positive, due to its similarity to "jaunt".
According to mr. Koopman's presentation, turning off the ignition turns of the steering assist and would be a bad idea. The recommended workaround would be to shift to neutral.

Every election has had issues. Voter fraud, however, is rare. Voter suppression is common and tactical.
That's a really interesting point.

I created a new burner FB account (I don't use FB) to go with my Quest 2.

I used a fake name and a gmail burner account.

However I've had to enter my credit card details to make payments so they have my real name, bank details and address information. They also know what I'm watching, what I'm buying etc

So my question is - do they call me out at some point and tell me to add a real name or prove my ID. Or do they let me carry on under my burner account because they can still profit from me both from my spend on apps/games and by selling my real data?
None, as you well know. But it has been the result when self-proclaimed communists succeed in taking control of a state.

The well-known phrase "it wasn't real communism" comes to mind because it applies and is true, since of course these results have never followed to the letter Marx's doctrine and intentions. But given the pattern of authoritarian states that follow every attempt at communism it is logical to conclude that the plan as stated simply does not survive in any desirable fashion once it starts being followed by real people to organize real people.

Capitalism and Republicanism (and no, for some people in the US that need the clarification: I certainly don't mean the party) as perfect plans also fail allowing a lot of evil to flourish, but their failure modes have performed much better in the long run than everything else so far. You can pinpoint any flaws you want, but you can't argue the results as there is no real counterexample with universally better ones.
> Did the court rule to investigate the claims made in the affidavits

No, because no one made legally-cognizable claims based on the affidavits in court, instead withdrawing or avoiding making fraud claims in court filings (though sometimes referring to them in court arguments and then admitting they weren’t part of the case) and preferring to take the “evidence” to “hearings” run by political allies with no adjudicative role as an act of political theater.
Sorry for offending you. It is just incorrect to say only two paragraphs of the paper deal with ID. From my read through, almost the entire paper is reliant upon various ID literature and arguments, which is called out explicitly. It is not subtle in the slightest.

I get the paper's arguments are debated by biologists. But I still don't understand how this at all relates to the big disclaimer about the authors' connections and claiming because of these connections the paper is not suitable for publishing in the journal, which they have published after a peer review. Makes no sense to me, and I'm really not tracking your explanation.

> Do you really think most biologists are trained to recognize ID authors, or understand when "design" is meant to only mean "intelligent design"?

Why do biologists have to be trained to recognize ID authors? They don't have to be trained to recognize information theorists, or computer scientists, or any other hosts of independent disciplines that could be relevant to biology. And don't the authors clearly point out they are intending 'design' in the sense we attribute to humans, i.e. intelligent designers? Seems that way to me. Sorry, I am dense, I am really not understanding your point. It sounds to me like you want to imply some sort of deception on the part of the authors, but for all the reasons I've stated, this is entirely non obvious to me, and the journal's disclaimer still comes across as light censorship in the form of well poisoning, so I will have to disengage from this discussion. I wish you well.
I understand now. I probably need to read further on it. Thanks.
There’s some nuance that may not be getting communicated clearly. Unions do not “completely deprive a company of labor supply”. As has been stated elsewhere, they do not prevent a company from hiring non-union (or different union) workers. If they prevent workers from crossing a strike line, that would be anti-competitive and depriving a company of its labor supply. That happened in the past and it was wrong but there are laws against that for that very reason.

If there are only a handful of people who intimately understand Microsofts kernel, it’s not anti-competitive for them to band together to ask for higher salaries because they aren’t actively prohibiting MSFT from hiring someone else. Having leverage due to a constrained supply of labor is not the same as being anti-competitive and not illegal except in a few edge cases (like what we saw with the air traffic controllers in the 1980s, for example)
Thats an odd distinction to draw. The definition of money laundering has nothing to do with taxes.
There were tweets by the author of this article suggesting more nefarious involvement here. Doesn’t seem to be much substantiation though.

So I've been biking most of my life and I almost never wear a helmet. Not because I don't think they would help if I hit my head on the ground, but because in the past 20 years I haven't been injured while biking once. Maybe I'm just lucky, but I think 99% of it is just being cautious and aware of my surroundings while riding. At this point riding without a helmet is simply a risk I'm willing to accept.

(knock on wood)
The supply of physicians is primarily restricted by limits on federal government funding for residency slots in teaching hospitals. Every year there are students who graduate from medical school but are unable to practice medicine because they can't get matched to a residency program.

The supply of lawyers isn't restricted at all, as shown by stagnant or falling median wages. Almost anyone who wants to become a lawyer can enroll in one of the "third tier toilet" private law schools, and states don't impose any limits on the number of law school graduates allowed to take the Bar exam.
That is _really_ sad :(
I've been using fastmail for a few years now and their reliability has been great, prices reasonable, and their web client is fast and convenient.

But there is one thing I cannot figure out. I have my own domain, say me@mydomain.com. The host for mydomain.com really is just a mail reflection service which sends to me@fastmail.com. When I send an email from the fastmail web interface, my identity is me@fastmail.com, and I cannot figure out how to make it accept me@mydomain.com.

There is a help page on setting up identities, but it doesn't work for me. :-( Other than than I'm 100% happy with fastmail.
Nice! ID checks are so prevalent that I really wouldn't mind a stripe-esque provider mediating it.

I stumbled on Indian government's effort to address this problem via https://digilocker.gov.in/ I think they basically store photos of you, your govt IDs (driving license, social security etc), your records (educational, financial) and digitally verify it with the issuer of those records (in most cases, other govt agencies), plus, also link it with your mobile phone number and/or personal email (for MFA). Is it fair to say berbix is doing the same but addressing a global market? Or, is berbix a complementary product, that is, you'd simply build on top of a service like digilocker as requester and/or issuer of verifiable documents [0]?

With that in mind, do you also plan to expand verifiability to other forms of documents, too, other than IDs?

Congratulations on the launch.

The conclusion near the end of the blog post?

That's not really because performance doesn't matter, but because toupper() shouldn't really matter in most modern C and C++ programs: it just can't support Unicode. So either you are using a different way of supporting strings entirely (if you need any kind of Unicode or multibyte support), or this is some internal ASCII-only text processing in which case you are better off using your own methods (e.g., the lookup table I mention at the end) since they'll provide an easy speedup and you aren't accidentally introducing locale-dependent code where you don't want it.
I wouldn't say that it's designed to fail - but it's clearly not designed to last. It does seem like, with Ive's departure, that Apple may start to make their accessories (and cables, hopefully) as long-lasting as their products.
Unsurprising, given the (now very old) issue of selection/hidden-information bias in voluntary reviews. The people that are happy with the product are exponentially less likely to leave a "review" than the people that are unhappy, including outright trolls. The whole vibe that creates is not very "Apple".

In fact I'm not sure the problem has ever been "solved" - raw sample size of reviews is helpful, but nowhere near eliminates these biases.

How could it even be improved further in theory? I think you'd at least have to incorporate the number of total products sold into the review rating. If there were 10 terrible reviews on a product with 1,000,000 sold, that means something very different than one with 20 sold.

Baseline though, dealing with people, it will probably never be perfect unless the reviewers have "skin in the game". People with positive experiences need some incentive to leave reviews that is as compelling as the negative experience. Lots of Amazon sellers offer some kind of free product or coupon in their follow-up emails - maybe that works?
Good, more sites should do the same. Customer review systems tend to just get abused and paint a confusing picture. That said, I still wish we could give customers a good way to share feedback at least somewhat publicly...
> The fixed battery increase the overall durability and reduces materials over a design where there was a compartment that could be opened.

> Apple does battery replacements in expensively relative to the cost of the device, and they supply batteries to 3rd party repair shops.

How long does such a replacement take, and why would someone need to leave their phone in the hands of a third party in the first place?

Back when most phones had replaceable batteries, it was just a matter of ordering a battery online and plopping it in. The extra materials needed for a battery door or lid are negligible (and significantly less toxic to manufacture than PCBs and electronics) compared to throwing away the phone outright.
All you say was kinda true for the magsafe ones, I recently saw the adapter that comes with a new macbook air:

- no little clip anymore

- no long cable anymore

- not the smallest Watt-for-Watt anymore (the new GaN ones are smaller)

- and of course: no magsafe anymore...

But I'm sure that three years from now they will have the "courage" to go back to their older superior design.
Really weird to see this posted on a site that uses Google Analytics. I performed a quick search and couldn't find a similar post from Mozilla complaining that people can't opt-out from Google Analytics. I guess the > $500M/year Mozilla gets from Google buys a bunch of selective outrage.

It isn't quite clear to me what add-ons this can replace. Obviously AdBlock, but perhaps also Ghostery and No-Script?
Bordering legality? How many parents don't have photos of their kids wearing swimsuits?
That's odd. Why would a tracker ever want to disallow any torrent client? Are they silly, or paid by BitTorrent Inc?
I like this AMA format. Can we have something like that here on HN as well?
Wow. Putting it in the "arctic ocean" is pretty interesting too.
This might be unpopular, this might get me downvoted, but I have comment on this:

> But he cautioned Jobs never to forget that the money was just a vehicle for creating things. "But he forgot," Wayne says now. "He probably won't like me for saying this, but I think he got caught up in the business of business. He became so enamored with succeeding at this stuff that he began doing it for the sake of itself. He began making money for the sake of making money. What can somebody do with $200 million that they can't do with $100 million?"

That's loser talk. That's fully not getting it. Jobs isn't in it for the money at this point, he is doing things that matter to him, he's got a team of crazy-bright designers and engineers and he's pushing the world forwards. I'm actually much less of an Apple fan than most people, I think the Apple's got a lot more hype and sizzle than steak, but you do have to hand it to them for what they've done.

And Jobs himself? Forced out of Apple. Builds up Pixar. I mean, Pixar! There's a happiness-spreading company right there, maybe even more than Apple. Then Apple gets into trouble, and Jobs goes and digs through the ruins and builds this amazing company.

So typical loser thinking goes, "Oh yeah, well, maybe he's got hundreds of millions, but he lost focus! Yeah, that's it, he's not doing things that really matter!" Like playing penny slot machines?

Never fall into that trap. If you catch yourself making a loser statement about how much someone else has, stop yourself and be gracious. Not for the builder's sake, but for your own.
I like the way they're dealing with this. Acknowledge the problem (and actually call it a "problem" instead of handwaving aroung it), and stop charging for the service until they fix it. This is a good pattern to follow if you run a service that ever runs into issues that affect your users.

On the performance issue itself, I actually used AppEngine for a project when it first came out and was astounded at how poorly it performed in general. Any page requiring more than a single "select where id={}" query would regularly throw CPU warnings at you.

I couldn't imagine building a site even as straightforward as HN on top of it. As soon as you had a page needing a dozen queries to construct, you'd run into the wall.
The main argument is flexibility and acknowledging what the role of the controller actually is in a resource-oriented application

Idea 2 is the way to go because it's resource oriented and you get useful stuff like 405's for free which you don't with the sinatra approach.

Please don't remove routing. Having routes is important - it makes the code more descriptive and easier to follow. All a route needs to do is map one URI pattern to one controller, i.e:

/blog -> BlogController

/blog/:post -> BlogPostController

/blog/:post/comments -> BlogPostCommentsController

For some weeks after I stopped drinking coffe each time I had a cup of, say, barley coffee (which is caffeine free) I would get a buzz. It's an interesting experiment that demonstrated, to me, the strength of the placebo effect.
Meego wasn't just ignored, it was killed so it wouldn't embarrass Windows Phone. You have to wonder if Nokia could have made a billion each quarter instead of taking a handout from Microsoft, much of which was returned in licensing fees.

I disagree. I would rather see examples of Promises in pure Javascript. It is the more general approach and not everyone uses jQuery.
Actually, this was build for HTML5 browser to see if i can build native like experience. This works great on desktop and Mobile IE10/11. I was also told that this works on latest blackberry and Firefox OS.
That is some pretty iCandy indeed.
Having the option to set your "My Documents" folder to be your DropBox folder (without resorting to symlinks or toher trickery) might be a cool option to have, but IMHO defaulting to sharing your "My Documents" folder would be highly intrusive and rather evil. Very un-dropbox like.

One of the things I love about Dropbox is that they've always seemed to be very straight forward and above board. They feel trustable.
I focused on costs to organizations deploying IPv6, not costs to manufacturers/developers (which may or may not be reflected in increased equipment prices).

And as for all the other things that need to speak IPv6, I was actually surprised that for more than year any random new piece of network attached anything that I have seen supported IPv6 out of the box and just worked.
This has definitely been posted before... I feel like StackOverflow isn't the right tool for this kind of info, either. Wasn't there some kind of website that sought to document all of the "checklist"-style information out there?
There's a world of difference between some friends seeing a kegstand picture, or your boss seeing it. In real life, segmenting your groups of connections is a natural and fairly easy thing to do. When your college buddies and your coworkers are both "facebook friends" the line is blurred in a way that does not represent real life. It's not obvious to everyone how much information they expose via their Facebook account.
"I love Dropbox because I'm getting 128MB of space added to my account if I say this."
I’d love to see a write-up of your experiences with this page once it’s been up for a while (assuming your corporate masters would allow it).

This reminds me of how Arabic is commonly described as "a language in which every word has its own meaning and exactly the opposite, and a third meaning of some kind of camel".
Interesting and well researched post, just a bit too narrowly focused on the health part. What I think is that people don't drink Oatly because of its purported health benefits, but they drink it because it's vegan and that fits their lifestyle.
I agree with the sentiment, but not enough to upvote this submission. As things stand, ideas like this don't mean anything without a tangible MVP that people can start using right away.

Don't talk about why your idea has merit. Show it.
The founders already cashed out, so now it's Conde Nast's problem. They don't really seem to notice Reddit, so Reddit just putters along. I'd say it was damned successful, with Ohanian and Huffman cashing out within a year. Everything since is just gravy.
Day 2 and they've broke $600k... That is pretty awesome. I'm wondering where most of the money is going? Are people dropping the cash more for charity, because they understand that indie life is tough, or both?
The Founding Fathers were traitors so it is not exactly a surprise that it is hard to convict someone of treason in the US.
Very well said. I've seen the same with "Cranberry juice drink". It's not cranberry juice, it's a cranberry juice-ish kinda drink.

I misinterpreted what I was looking at and I made a bad assumption that since the same hash for a known password appeared several times in my narrow view that it was the same for all occurrences of the known password.

Your comment that the maximum number of a given salt||hash was seven also threw me for a second. Am I correct that that is purely coincidental? Given the limit of only two characters for the salt (in what set? all printable characters?) and the sheer volume of accounts there is simply some unintended overlap? It just happens that the most it occured was seven times?
You also have to consider the forum/audience.
Nope. It didn't perform it's most basic duty with the non-standards compliant email provider that is Gmail. Literally every other service that offered standard IMAP worked fine.

i find the rust version way more readable; it's clear that it's an array of 1 (array of 2 (array of 3 u16s)), which corresponds to the way "multidimensional" arrays are actually laid out in c and friends.
