Old tax police, I forgot that they split it between GUEBiPK at MVD and SEB at FSB years ago (and, I guess, more recently SK picked up some of that portfolio). Can't keep track of all the different security organs these days.... Nevertheless, you think I'd have gotten that right, since I just read a piece about Sugrobov and Kolesnikov's prosecution.
Hey now, it's better than PAW!
The blocksize limit is fundamentally a trade off between capacity and usability.

Too far in either direction is bad.

The evidence strongly supports the argument that the current 1MB limit is too high.
It spilled over into /u/MilitaryPorn as well. We had at least four guys from over there battling it out hard for a while with both posts and comments.
The teflon on pans is inert and non toxic. It would not be digested if it was scratched off and in your food.
If you heated it that high you would have smoke in your kitchen from the oil catching fire.

The operating temperature of teflon (approx 600f) is higher than the operating temperature of the oil (approx 400f) you cook with.
Yay! I do not spend much time on twitter, but my DM discussions almost always involve breaking up a communique into several short messages to get past the character limit. I have a friend who chooses to only contact me via twitter, usually privately, and the limit has been a real nuisance. I am so happy to see this.
Snark aside, I do sympathize. It isn't Twitter's fault that it became so popular that very important people have taken to it to post things that really do not belong on a 140-character-per-message service. I also can't entirely blame the people using Twitter improperly: they need to get a message out to as many people as possible, and far too many only read Twitter; so they can't exactly ignore the platform in principle.

I'm not suggesting Twitter turn into Livejournal and have no limits. I'd just like to see people not get penalized for having a language with bad character-to-word ratios, for spelling out words properly, or for having a richer vocabulary. There has to be a middle-ground between 140 characters and 300KB of text with lots of pictures and video.

And if people really need to go over a reasonable limit, Twitter can streamline the process of writing a blog-post and submitting a t.co link to it. Something people already do anyway, just through other services where Twitter loses the page views (and opportunities for advertising.)

Low resolution samples are the norm, I think it's because low resolution makes it so you can see how the compression algorithm works. If you a high resolution comparison, you would need to zoom in to see the difference anyway. There are, of course, compression artifacts that are readily apparent even in high-resolution (chain link fences, transparent wipes, etc) but I suspect that they are in the minority.

This is cool. Rarely in such established industries do people step back and reconsider the actual product requirements in such a practical way. Car batteries serve two TOTALLY distinct purposes (starting engine and running electronics), and this is a great solution for those.

I'd be worried about the impact of rapidly increasing electrification (including hybrids) on the high end market (the most likely consumers for this), but it's such a huge market at present that it probably doesn't matter.

Kudos, guys.
Anyone who has had a visceral reaction might agree with Cassimatis about tighter integration between modules.
Usually, when jumping another car, you are supposed to leave the car running, getting power off the alternator rather than the battery.

Slight correction as a Gen II Prius driver: In the Prius, the 12V battery only runs the control electronics of the car (and a few small motors like the wipers); the engine is turned over by a high-voltage motor running from the main "traction" battery. The smaller 12V battery is charged from the high-voltage battery which is itself charged from the gasoline engine via the hybrid transmission. All that is to say that the 12V battery doesn't see huge load spikes like a regular starter battery (even the air conditioning compressor runs off the high-voltage pack). It would be GREAT to have a supercapacitor bank backing the traction battery in parallel though, particularly for storing the energy recovered from regenerative braking.
(1) Those nasty things inside car batteries are easily recycled and in fact are recycled more often than not (like 95%+)

(2) Car batteries do not last only 3-4 years as per the OP. Car batteries can last decades. There are many variables, but the car in my battery is far older than 4 years. (lol)

(3) Replacing an easily-recyclable product with a less-recyclable one is no step forwards.

(4) XX addressed by OP comment, see below XX
This thing is a capacitor? What's the voltage potential in there? Any device with internals significantly beyond that may be a serious fire risk in a crash..

(5) Car batteries are not needlessly heavy, nor are they a stock size. Manufacturers do care about performance. If they thought the car could do with lighter battery they would use one. Have some respect for the thought behind stock engineering before replacing it.

(6) Shutting down the voltage supply can be a real pain. A "dead" battery generally still has enough juice to keep electronics ticking over. Cutting it completely is not like turning off a switch. It often means resetting/rebooting stuff once the voltage is restored. For some (BMW) it can even mean a trip to the dealership for a special new battery ritual.

It's not just game development, it's almost any creative endeavor. "90% of everything is crap" - Sturgeon's "law".

Now even if you end up making the 10% that isn't crap, you have to fight hard to get any attention. There is a huge amount of hustling involved.

Even when you are an unprecedented genius, you will suffer immensely for lack of business and marketing skill. Where would Einstein be without Adler? Where would Newton be without Halley?

That's just the way the world is (and has been, since time immemorial).

I live in Cambridge, MA (so we get winters) and I can't remember the last time I've had a regularly driven car's battery fail in under 7 years.
I don't have much to add than this is solid info and advice. Glad I got out of the industry a long time ago.

There are posts in the most popular Reddit thread for this article (https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/3gqreu/) explaining that the blocking varies from provider to provider. Some are only blocking it on the DNS level, so users are able to use Google DNS to circumvent the block. Others aren't bothering with the block at all. Still others are incompetently trying to block only a single URL (which doesn't work with https).

Which one might call a "natural experiment" for how increasing the limit would affect English speakers' use of the service. (But I don't think Twitter will do it - the number 140 is so well known, it's basically part of its identity.)
Isn't is weird how some people in this thread say that the guy can only do it because of Australia's generous social programs. Meanwhile you think it would be easier if these didn't exist and taxes were lower.

In reality I bet it's about as easy no matter what country you live in and what tax rates or social programs you have access to. Simply live a somewhat frugal life, save lots of money, and let the magic of compounding work over a decade or two.

Rather than looking for excuses it's probably better to just get started.

I think that's part of what made the adventure Crash games such a success. They were challenging, but not impossible; death was penalized fairly; there were always more things to discover and collect. In addition, the games were easy enough to learn but not overly simplistic. The games weren't ground-breaking, but the balance and polish were fantastic and made the games great.

I am very (twice) familiar with getting screwed because founders don't want employees to bolt while there is still a chance of recovery. The good thing was that they had the good sense to let me go before all the money totally ran out, so I was able to bridge my way to the next job, which I really appreciated.

If your company's in that position, the only ethical thing is for all employees to be well-informed of that, in advance.

You don't get the massive amount of power required for the starter from the alternator. You leave your car on so that in case the other car is severely broken or zaps all the remaining juice in your car's battery you don't end up stranded.

I'm not really interested in a somewhat gamification for the inclusion of the app into the lineup.

The winners are first the users, who have an easier way to install the app (it's already given away for free) and you, which are given another solid app to offer.

Hey! One of the founders here, Like another poster said, you should have your car running when jumping another car, but yes, Ohm can be used to jump another car (and vice versa).
You are right, they are not mutually exclusive, and we are working on both in parallel. We are working on specifying a standardized way to 1) hash a container in its runnable form, and 2) attach arbitrary signatures constructed from that hash. That will allow using your favorite existing tools (eg. gpg) to create arbitrary trust and verification systems. This is part of the OCP project, and will be implemented by RunC which we donated last month. See https://github.com/opencontainers/runc and https://github.com/opencontainers/specs .

As a rule of thumb, end-to-end trust and naming is most useful to developers ("How do I know I'm building on the right dependency, and using the latest and most secure version?"), and low-level hashing is most useful to ops ("How do I enforce a whitelist of containers allowed on my production cluster based on home-made PKI and policies?")

Another distinction is that you can use Notary (and Docker Trusted Content) with any kind of content - for example Compose files, source artifacts, system packages used to build the container, etc.

Just downloaded it and tried it out. Looks pretty nice, but the history view isn't populating when I try to use it for github enterprise projects (I did login successfully). I'm just seeing a completely black rectangle and no commits.

One theory I have is that our default upstream branch isn't master, but I'm not sure where to set that in the app. Anyone else noticed this?
it is only 10Ah! Comparing that to 45Ah+ typical car battery is like that MongoDB write performance comparison without actual writing to disk :)

Such small capacity would work only for perfectly starting engine. Any issues and you're out of capacity. Cranking an engine requires hundreds of Amperes, like 500-800A. Thus each 10s of cranking burns 1.5-2.5Ah.

The CCA rating of a car battery is the current the cold battery can produce during 30s. 10Ah LiPo at 30C would mean maximum 300 CCA - i don't think it would satisfy any official reqs for any passenger car around. The super capacitor produces higher current, yet for much shorter bursts. Thus again only easy starting engines on smaller cars.
With only five points and < 180 degrees at each intersection, couldn't this problem have been solved by a computer via brute force in seconds?
I wouldn't read too much between the lines. There are countless examples of a judge somewhere not getting his/her request for a single page take-down and then ordering whole websites to be blocked.
Is that expected to be sufficient? Typical automotive electrical components are rated over -40C to 85 or 105C. I think the engine compartment is typically hotter than 50C when a car is running. This might be more suitable to a car that mounts the battery remotely: I have seen BMWs with the battery in the trunk.

Jeez, a whole room full of smart (or at least educated) people and half of them see "10% returns" and get completely wrapped around the axle. Use your brains a bit - the same concept applies at whatever return you happen to think is reasonable. Adjust the numbers appropriately, and you're all set.

For example, a 4% withdrawal rate would have let retire into the teeth of the Great Depression and gone another 30 years without working a day. Adjust for your circumstances a bit, and you can make it last forever. Or get a little bit clever with variable withdrawal rates and you can increase the rate and make it last forever.

Most people will take their car to a repair shop when they have problems with their battery and will take whatever battery the tech/shop suggests (as long as its in their price range).

Unless this company starts pitching their batteries really well to these repair shops, they're not going to see much business.
You are correct. GAE classic is not a good example since it uses language-specific sandboxing. Hopefully you'll agree that my overall point still stands: when configured and managed properly there is consensus that you can run certain untrusted payloads in linux containers today.
I know a lot of people at my university who plain out refuse to use twitter.

Take German, a language where even simple sentences end up being above the limit. Everyone who wants to say long things either ends up posting only medium.com links on twitter, or ends up not using twitter at all.

Take now Chinese, or Japanese, languages with Ideograms, where you can fit a whole word into a single character, like 象.

The limit leads to a completely different demographic depending on language.
Yes - I am seeing 2-3 economist emails daily.
My car has a significant design flaw(1), in that it allows children to turn on the backseat car lights and leave them on. I've had more dead batteries in the five years I've had sentient children than I've had in the 40 years prior. This is a great idea.

(1) Perhaps the design flaw is in the children.
One possibility:

It will know when the internal batteries are running low (the internal charge/discharge monitor IC doing battery "gas gauge" measuring). It'll maintain a reserve of a few crank's worth of energy, and trigger shutdown before that's exhausted.

It can also tell if the engine is running, because the alternator will be, and charging it. It can also monitor the active discharge current.

If the battery is low and there's a small but fairly constant discharge, it's probably lights/radio, and a timeout of an hour might be reasonable.

It could then either cut power completely, or regulate discharge current to a couple of milliamps or something, just enough to sense teh spike when the starter motor is switched in. At that point, it switches in the supercap or goes back to full power 12v mode, and the starter gets cranked.

The only downside I can see is that fully isolating the battery may have side effects that upset the ECU, radio or immobiliser system (I recall our radio would go into 'presumed stolen' mode if fully disconnected and require a PIN to work properly, I have no idea if/how that happens in modern cars though)

A "dead" lead-acid battery often isn't dead enough for that to happen, just htat it can't supply the ~200A that the starter requires to crank.
Hey, co-founder here. It's very forgiving to temperature. Supercapacitors don't store energy using a chemical reaction, which make them a lot less finicky. On the low side, our power architecture also allows us to boost the voltage slightly if we sense that its cold outside, so we can account for the increase in resistance. It's also still go superior lifetime at high temps as well.
Subaru ECU cold start logic is, well, questionable at best.
As a side note, if your car is stalling that frequently, I would suggest adjusting the clutch engagement position. Sounds like its either very low or way too high.
I don't get your (4). It's a capacitor + lithium battery. It's got to be nominally 12 volts, or else it wouldn't work in a car. Capacitors only charge to the voltage you apply -- in this case, 12v. I'm not sure if you mean voltage by "beyond that", but fire risk isn't really correlated with voltage - more with chemistry, energy, and fusing.

As for (5), they clearly care about cost.

It's funny how the current debate regarding sustainable energy is always about production, not consumption. Somehow consumption is always taken as a given, about which nothing can be done.

It's obvious modern societies are wasteful - energy, food, water, transportation - but everybody is talking about how to increase production efficiency, no one is talking about how to decrease over-consumption.
I think Twitter's popularity in Japan, despite the fact that 140 characters there can convey a message that's 3-4x larger than in English, is indicative that increasing the English character count to somewhere between 280-560 (or much better, moving to word counts instead) would not be the death sentence for the service that many make it out to be.
