People with situations like yours (bad parking situation, like to drive long trips along unpopular routes) sure like to complain about it on HN. Not sure if it adds anything to the discussion about the customers Tesla needs to convince to make them successful in the next year or two.

BTW, different people have different likes and dislikes about car interiors.

Sounds like you should buy a car you like.

Future Personal Fabrication using Augmented Reality- MIT Media Lab
> (This is in response to the fact that Docker writes to cgroups, and systemd would like to be the "sole writter to cgroups" some time in the future.)

"Would like to" understates it a bit:

http://lwn.net/Articles/555920/

The kernel plans on deprecating the API that allows multiple writers to cgroups, thus requiring there to be a sole writer to cgroups. (Also, the systemd developers say this wasn't what they want, it was in response to the decisions the kernel maintainers have made in changing the API.)
The two terms are synonymous at this point. If you want to be that pedantic, I think you'd find that a Windows virus hasn't been seen in the wild in a long time either.
I certainly was at the wrong company. But I didn't leave for a company I believed in more. I went to a company that allows me to make things I enjoy making. Then we get paid and I get the chance to make more things. We're not trying to change the world or "disrupt" anything. And I'm truly grateful that I haven't heard a single person utter the phrase "corporate culture".

We're all just people who want to spend our days doing and making things in a way that feels valuable. That's why I code, that's why a founder..um..founds (?) Why can't we just leave it at that? Why do we have to bring faith and belief structures into it?
Is it odd that no one from the company has responded to this in two days? I don't suggest "entertaining" responses. Rather, they could have chosen a particular complaint or two and said, "here's how things will work differently going forward, and here are the new issues in our tracker that reflect this commitment".

It could be that they just haven't seen this. No one was @-ed.

ISTM coreos/rkt may be the way to go for subuser. In my admittedly-shallow tests, it seemed simpler, easier, and better than docker, and it can consume docker files.
Relations between the two tribes go back at least 3000 years if not earlier. (The city of Rages, then Ray, and now a suburb of Teheran, apparently had a substantial Jewish community during the Median period, per Book of Tobit [2]) Typically quite friendly and simpatico.

At that rate they could, you know, provide homes for them and feed them? Sounds like that's part of the plan (500 units), but not in a way that makes sense to me.

Micro-apartments at ~200sq.ft., with really basic (read: mostly plastic/easy to wash, plus maybe a cot) furniture, could go for ~$800/month and still be a good deal for a developer. That's $9600/year. Throw in inexpensive food at another $800/month, and it would be $19,200/year, or a savings of $14,800 per year. Partner with a developer, guarantee the rents, and let the private sector fork over the capital for the building of WAY more than 500 units.

A lot of the cost is actually far more than $34k/person, by the way. There are charities that leverage this fact by finding chronic emergency-room users and getting them a home, food, and sometimes a companion animal. [1] When a homeless person checked into a hospital can cost $9000. An emergency room visit can cost $3700. [2] When someone has serious health issues, they can visit the emergency room multiple times a month; some end up costing the taxpayer $44,400 per year.

Apparently 90% of the homeless at any one time are just going through a bad spot in their lives. And giving someone a place to live can break the cycle of homelessness: You need to have an address to get a job, typically. You also need to be able to shower. Let them keep living in the cheap apartment if they want, but if their income passes a threshold then they need to start contributing to the room & board.

Or don't force them to pay; food and shelter really should be human rights anyway. Why not start in San Francisco? Everyone else would benefit by there being fewer people peeing on walls or sleeping on sidewalks, and by the (relatively) cheaper labor pool that would be available.

False dichotomy. You can probably get reasonably competent people who believe in your idea, and experts who are halfway interested in it.

Given the choice between the two of them, I'd rather take the reasonably competent person who's really excited to be doing the job, rather than the expert who's halfway interested. You can train technical skills; you can't train motivation. And someone who's motivated will usually improve rapidly, so after a year or two, you may very well have an expert that's highly motivated.
Once it's open source, isn't it logical to conclude that there will be open source runtimes that run on non-Apple products? Give it a year or so.
The static-void-main-string-args argument is trotted out so often and to me is the most facetious. Every language has some syntax to learn and with any learning process it will need to be handwaved away. Basing any kind of decision on such a trivial thing seems odd to me.

Reminds me of Nietzsche's thoughts on Eternal Recurrence. Instead of living each day like it's your last, you live each day like it will be repeated indefinitely in exactly the same way:

>The greatest weight. -- What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: "This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life will have to return to you, all in the same succession and sequence -- even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned upside down again and again, and you with it, speck of dust!" Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: "You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine"? If this thought gained possession of you, it would change you as you are, or perhaps crush you. (GS 341)

In my suburban NY town, something very similar is happening. There was a federal grant for some paid firefighters a few years ago. The grant expired and the firefighters were laid off. The union complained about how unsafe it was. The city hired consultants to look at the situation and they said most calls were not fires and medical care was needed most.

You'd think that would be the end of it, but one of the laid off firefighters is now running for council in a move most everyone reads as a "I'm going to give me and my friends our jobs back, so you should vote for me, otherwise the town will burn to the ground" move.

I tried to replicate the results of the BBC article to see what the fuss was about, but the search results did in fact list 'rival' price comparison shopping sites. It took me a while to realize that this was because I had adblock turned on.
Absolutely. Also, that choice is luxury that many of us have access to but most people don't.
Bingo.

When I started at the startup I previously worked at, while we were working for pennies and not making money, it was "our company" because I had equity along with the founders. Once we started making money and could have reasonable salaries it went from "our company" to "my company".
Dunno about the US, but here in the UK, if someone were to die in a car equipped with a button labeled "insane", for our tabloid press, that button would be the main focus and the car manufacturer would be hauled over the coals based on that alone. It would be sold to readers that having such a button encouraged insanity on the roads, and the manufacturer would be claimed to be irresponsible for having such a button. Oh, that would be true, even if the manufacturer could prove that the button was never used.

I don't think that predictions have anything to do with rationality. Just because YOU think people should behave one way with the information that YOU have doesn't necessarily have any bearing on what they will do. Especially since you don't know what information they have that you don't, and what information you have that they don't.

I had never read about that 1.5GB heap limit. I've come across that same error message - FATAL ERROR: JS Allocation failed - process out of memory - several times in my application but googling never gave me a good answer why this was happening, especially since I had a lot of spare memory on the server. Very good thing to know...

> A power-managedCPU at 50% clock-speed actually uses less than half of the power as at 100%.

That's ignoring the overhead of not being able to sleep the whole CPU, including uncore stuff for twice as long if you're only computing at half the speed.
What are the blockers on using Flarum in production? (Bugs, changing API's, etc) I would consider putting this into light use for a private forum to with maybe 10 to 40 users. If it is not yet ready for this, when would you expect it to be? (Note: your Roadmap is currently empty.)

My experience with many other projects would be that sometime prior to a Release Candidate you would want people to be testing and using the Beta.

I am just evaluating Discourse for a small group, but it looks like Flarum would be a better fit for my use case.

I've given up on understanding most of these "hip" websites and products. If I can't quickly figure out exactly what the company does, I just use Wikipedia. Much simpler.

For example, just a week ago we had a discussion here[1] about an aspect of Heroku. I didn't know what they did, so I visited their home page.[2] Lots of buzzwords and pretty little diagrams. But, for me, Wikipedia was so much better[3]. The first paragraph described it succinctly.

It's a ideal you should always be pushing toward even if you can't ever actually achieve it completely. If you let up pressure for just a moment, the pendulum will swing in the other direction. And you definitely don't want that.
Similar issue with the "Coefficient of Performance" in heating and cooling[1], which is the ratio of "energy extracted" to "energy consumed". Since you're just moving energy around, this value can easily be greater than 100% -- no violation of the laws of thermodynamics! 100% is just as arbitrary a value on this scale. .

However, there's still always a relevant maximum that you should measure relative to, and refrigerators have a theoretical maximum. The maximum ("Carnot") efficiency is the ratio of the higher (absolute) temperature to the temperature difference. For room temperature to freezing, that would be ~300/27 = 11.1 = 1100%.

That's the part of this story that's not being told. A little over a decade ago, there was a political power grab wherein the fire department took over all emergency calls. Prior to that, SF had EMTs that would respond in ambulances. This has increased the cost of these programs because firefighters often respond in fire engines instead of ambulances and all responders need to be trained as both fire fighters and EMTs. It's a horribly wasteful policy that makes no sense beyond increasing the political power of the fire department.

Source: I had a friend who was an EMT at the time of the switchover who had to leave the city to work in a nearby area because he didn't want to train for and fight fires.
I quite agree. There's no excuse for that. Although most of the time it isn't the fault of the website or publisher, but rather of an adtech partner.
right. not a car guy, yet you're on the internet arguing about cars, which is awfully strange.
They look at it with their modern sensibilities and judge accordingly.

It seems that they think that Hitler was evil and everyone else got taken along for the ride. It's so much more complicated than that, especially for those people who were there at the time.

I would imagine many recent college grads don't even realize what the term total war means.

A great many college grads, high school grads and people born after 1950.

We're talking about people who don't understand that "War" means more than people shooting at each other. People who don't understand that we haven't had a war in over 70 years.
> But the fact that they had to go up through officer levels to achieve that usually acted as a restraint, as quite often the senior exec would ask "tell me how you screwed-up this project so badly that you need another team to save your bacon"

Can a developer on Kansas City team not ask a seemingly straight-forward question about the current implementation of a service that the Memphis team runs? What would you say if you sent an instant message or an email to someone in another team and instead of getting a reply from them, you hear back nothing at all and one week later your boss says he is forwarding an email sent by another manager which includes the answer to your question (nothing secret, just details that we needed to know in the first place). Now apparently, the person I asked the question just forwarded the question to their manager with the answer. Their manager, being on vacation, couldn't forward the email for a week.

What would you do next time you had a question? Would you contact your manager and have them contact the other team's manager and have them contact the project lead to answer a question? Or would you try to design your system so you had to interact with the Memphis team as little as possible?

"We're all just people who want to spend our days doing and making things in a way that feels valuable."

This means you believe in spending your days doing and making things in a way that feels valuable.

But why should you care as a founder if your employees believe in your product? Your employees are professionals, pay them to get shit done and that's it, why do they have to believe in your idea of "Uber for strippers", or "twitter for baby sitters"?

So what's the difference between and "employee" and a "mercenary"? If you believe there's any appreciable difference, then I'd argue you already have the answer to your question. If you think there is no difference, then I don't really have much else to say, other than to ask if you can recognize the difference in the way you felt about working on something you really cared about, versus something where you only got money for your work.

Ultimately, it's down to intrinsic motivation[1] versus extrinsic motivation[2].

You are the one injecting race not me. There exists affluent families of many different races, sometimes interracially mixing.

However, just because a neighborhood is mixed-race does not imply it is "crime-ridden".

Exactly.

No, it would a step in the "race to the bottom" direction. Solutions should be based on bringing the lowest performing students up without affecting the best performing students. Those are the hardest solutions BTW which is why people like you are attracted to the easiest ones.

But even in the Netherlands riding a bicycle _is_ dangerous for some groups. In 2014, the age distribution of those killed in traffic on a bicycle was:

- 0-15: 13
- 15-20: 8
- 20-30: 6
- 30-40: 5
- 40-50: 16
- 50-60: 16
- 60-70: 27
- 70-80: 56
- 80+ : 38

Yes, over half the people killed riding bikes were 70+ years old. That is a cause for concern for planners, and they don't know yet how to tackle it. As always, it likely will be through a combination of factors. For example, technical solutions are being developed that warn cyclists about traffic coming from behind, but e-bikes likely need a good look, too, as their rapid acceleration and (for the elderly) high top speeds seem to play a role.

It is not so much a cause of concern that elderly people are advised to stop cycling, though. The benefits of exercise and of the independence that cycling brings the elderly are thought to more than outweigh the traffic risks.

(Also, chances are that soon, fewer people will die in traffic in a car than on a bicycle. 2014 already was close, with 187 vs 185; see http://statline.cbs.nl/StatWeb/publication/?VW=T&DM=SLnl&PA=...)

I'm intrigued by the mention of farmers growing crops in contaminated areas. Presumably the soil has detectable levels of radioactive isotopes, but is there any evidence that this is taken up into the crops themselves? Same with the harvesting of fish or fungi in these zones... is there evidence that they contain harmful contaminants? If so, would they be medically significant?

The essay seems to imply that this stuff is irresponsible, but doesn't really delve into specifics.

Full disclosure: I've done a lot of construction work in the nuclear power industry, so I'm pretty familiar with radiation, contamination, and their effects. A lot of contamination events result in exposure that is statistically insignificant (e.g. eating a banana would result in more exposure), but there are certainly more harmful forms. My admittedly limited understanding is that a lot of the areas surrounding Chernobyl have detectable, but not really harmful levels of radiation.

I'm just a layman, so I'm hoping more informed folks can fill me in!
