These stations don't get used much because Tesla sells a battery with every car they make. If the cars came without the battery, there would be a lot of demand, but would also require the infrastructure to be in place to support long range travel. It's a classic chicken and egg problem.

What Tesla discovered is that bootstrapping the battery swap infrastructure off of battery owners doesn't work, since owners are reluctant to pay for swapping out their battery over recharging the one they own.
I'd agree if you are saying that's no coincidence? The profit from the ads on the target site are the fuel to push its content to the top of results over better or more relevant content with less financial motivation or efficiency.

In other words, blocking ads on a large scale causes a readjustment that is not necessarily bad for the overall ecosystem since most of that money is actively winning a zero sum game against better content with less (desperate) backing.

It's really turning out to be a beautiful general-purpose language as well.

I've been playing it for a few days now, and it's such a joy to work with. So many great forward-thinking libraries: (Reactive, Compose), excellent, readable code quality even down to the language implementation from very smart people...

If the language stack of the future looks something like Rust for systems, Julia for applications, and Elm for UI, I'll be a pretty happy developer :)

Amazon can't even effectively manage their second tier delivery vendors like Lasership in NYC. They dump packages in unsecured areas (I had one stolen last week). They scan packages as delivered to make their SLA with Amazon and then deliver after 9pm. And now Amazon thinks some random folks with cars are going to do great delivering merchandise in one of the country's most congested urban areas. Maybe bricks and mortar aren't so bad after all.
Well you can keep picking nits about implementation choices, but unless your stack can grow unbounded (because you have unlimited resources) then you haven't implemented a PDA and haven't removed any restriction at all. You've just optimised space usage.

If you really believe that regular expressions cannot parse any HTML document in reality (eg given that all web browsers in practice limit the nesting depth of HTML) then please present some evidence.
You shouldn't see anything change, because we haven't been subject to editorial pressure in the first place. The job ads will still be a thing but in my mind they're off to the side. We're not going to open them to comments because HN comments are for discussing intellectually interesting stories, which job ads aren't—they're job ads.

If you want to make claims about preferential placement (and yes I realize you're just saying "appears", but still, people are quick to believe these things), I'd appreciate concrete links so we can look into them. We try hard to be even-handed and when there are marginal calls, err on the side of not playing favorites.

YC founders and current/former employees are a large and valued part of this community, stories about YC startups often are interesting (by HN's definition), and lots of HN users like to follow them in particular, so of course you'll still see plenty of YC-related stories on the front page. It would be weird not to. Of course those stories are subject to upvoting and flagging as much as the others are.

You know you can Google it but I believe you haven't tried it yourself to do exactly what the goal of the question is, otherwise you would not answer with a plain Google query. I know as I've actually spent the time to experiment. And I'm still not at the point where I can answer it exactly. I don't want "disable everything" I don't want "disable this what's written but I'm not sure if what I type is still transferred" I want the exact information based on the network traffic analysis confirmation. I even know how I could do this but I don't have the time and the motivation and I know the sites that come up on the Google queries didn't do their actual homework, just "generated the content." SEO rules and stuff.

I've hoped somebody would have given an exact link to some competent and exact analysis. Google query it ain't.

I've got by Googling:
"turn off 'Spotlight suggestions' and 'Bing Web Results'." Did both. Did that. Still got the web "suggestions" in my search results. I don't know it they are "Spotlight" "bing" or "Safari" but they are there, some server must have been involved as the results can't come from my phone. Clicked around a little more. Now looks better. Or not. I try to avoid the search page. I don't know what turns off what actually. And still don't know who reliably documented it.

It seems that other stuff can send the web queries as the result of what I type. Which stuff is that, what's going on, somebody will still have to find out and explain. Apple still haven't. Or I'm missing something and I'd be glad to learn.

You don't want A53's "handling the majority of the workload".

Yes. You do. If I'm casually browsing non-intensive web pages, e-reading, or watching a Netflix movie, or even encoding a video, the background is doing IO rate limited system updates and basic data logging, etc, the vast majority of the time the CPU demands are very low, but frequent enough that putting a CPU to sleep is completely out of the question.

An A53 has a much lower ceiling, but a much better middle tier power usage level, than the A57. Yes, if you want to run a benchmark the A53 is not a good bet (and is generally worse in a workload power usage), but it is a very good bet for most real world usage.

Can you elaborate? Surely the efficient-market ideal is that everybody gets paid an amount equal to exactly the amount of value they produce.
They say you can measure a man by the size of his problems.
Oh please. Where did you take your 1% from?

If your application is not a game, or it does not fit the model of "here be a document, type on it", chances are the sandbox won't allow it. Actually, even if you do follow that model: see BBEdit and Coda.

What about Postbox? iStatsMenu? Heck, even Alfred. Or Parallels, Microsoft Office, the Adobe suite? These cannot be sandboxed.

Frankly, I could come up with more applications if I did some research, but why bother. Nearly everything that's interesting that's not a game will be crippled or just unavailable. And, for games, Steam is better in every way.

EDIT: By "cannot be sandboxed", I mean that they cannot be sandboxed under Apple's current draconian sandboxing rules.
I haven't found any evidence refuting Cowspiracy's claims, unfortunately, which has cornered me into eating vegan for going on two weeks now.

Whoa, that's awesome! Actually, that camera on a quadcopter with some nice stitching software would get the same job done and be really easy to reuse! With APM flight controller, you could even do it autonomously, all you'd have to do is switch out batteries once a day.
By driving extremely slowly.

Aerodynamic resistance is key, and it goes up with the square of your speed, so driving slowly lets you go much farther. If you want to set a distance record in an EV, you want to drive around 25-30MPH.

The current record in a Tesla is over 500 miles, while the official range is under 300. Musk's comment was about how ongoing small battery improvements will allow the record distance, driven at 25-30MPH, to break 1000km in the next couple of years.

But all the idiot news organizations out there either misunderstood it entirely or saw it as an opportunity to drum up page views, and are either outright presenting it as a practical range, or are at least not trying very hard to present the real context, as is happening with this article.
You shouldn't -- they intentionally gimped the 5X in order to make the 6P more appealing.

Welcome to human psychology! Yes, people are far more affected by losing something than gaining it or even using it. If you give someone $50 and then take it away, they will generally be very angry even though it's not like they really lost anything. I read a study on it once, but I can't find it now.
The Axiom [1] developers created a special purpose dependently typed language to capture mathematical abstractions: SPAD/Aldor [2]. Maxima uses Lisp. [3] These packages contain many man-years of work.

Julia is JIT-compiled, a Lisp (under the hood) and (somewhat) dependently typed.

Is that enough to port (or even transpile) modules from the big open source CAS without an entire rewrite? Is there enough similarity between CAS to make "foreign" modules even a remote possibility?

Otherwise, Nemo will likely not achieve a great unification of math packages, since the required effort goes way beyond the resources of a small dedicated group.

Yes please. But sadly I have given up hope. This has not been a priority and the one attempt that was made to make things better brought out a pitchfork-armed mob to change it back because the top nav took up two lines gasp. I believe this is because YC is finding that stealth startup that is developing artificial eye balls, so they are prepping their first customers here. Either that, or everyone at YC got the iPad Pro back in 2008 and they are laughing at us with our puny 6 inch screens.
> Greece does not produce enough stuff that people buy to cover its expenses.

It's more complicated than this. The real issue is that Greeks don't control their own currency. When a country has its own currency, the balance of trade automatically adjusts with the FX ratio (well, kind of - e.g. Swiss and US currencies are overpriced, because people trust them). If Greeks had Drachma, its value would fall (relative to e.g. Euro), the imports would get more expensive for Greeks and thus decrease, the exports would get cheaper for the world and thus increase, and the balance of trade would return to zero. In EU, Germany and Greece share the same currency, but Germany more than it imports, while Greece is the other way. As a consequence, the German currency (Euro) is undervalued, while the Greek currency (again Euro) is overvalued. If
Yes, but I don't fill up my phone's storage during those activities.

The issue comes up if you use your phone solely as a camera without an accompanying connection for long enough to fill up internal storage without some way to offload it.

It's a situation that won't come up ever for most users of the phone, and as Wifi and Data coverage increases will become even more obscure.

Having trouble accepting Elon Musk’s claim that Teslas will be capable of fully autonomous driving in 3 years.

One of the difficulties I am having is that I’m not aware of another advanced technology that just popped into the consumer market overnight like we’ve been told to expect with self driving cars.

There’s always a gradual evolution of a technology over time. There’s very little of that evolution seen with this technology. There’s self-parallel parking cars, there’s autopilot-style cruise control systems, but we’re going to instantly leap from that to fully autonomous driving?

It's like aliens visiting and giving us some far-future tech overnight.
That says nothing about a detachable cable.
The money has been on the table for a long time (considering how many places lithium batteries are used in) yet still no considerable improvement. I really wish 10x energy density would be possible in the next few years, but 10x is definitely in the lithium/aluminium-air territory, and don't see any indication of that being commercialised within 2-3 years
For sure! That was our biggest design challenge with converting it over. We have a sand timer that helps, but that time crunch feeling is something that's generated by the players oddly enough.

In the card game, you're frantically trying to work through malfunctions that are repaired by different tools that your teammates have around the table. When, and only when, you get through a chunk of your pile, you were begin to reveal the System Go cards that restart your Spaceship. We also bring in physical activities such as people needing to change seats or tools switching hands to keep the chaos alive throughout the 5 minutes.
That's why I keep referencing it here, esp in Go or Rust discussions. Really wish the other languages would've been more like it. I hope it keeps getting better and with more use cases.

You jest, but it's worth considering. I mean, if productivity is uneven among contributors and contributions ate now measurable and poor contributors are numerous and can be identified and taken out of the workforce, we could end up with perennially a jobless class of people.

What do we do with them, do we distribute their load across employers (as we do now, for the most part) or do we allow discrimination but make up for this by allowing them income vouchers, knowing under this scenario they'd be hard pressed to hold a job, or do we fabricate work suitable for them?

The gigafactory will more than double the worlds production of lithium-ion batteries, which will drive the cost down. This will allow Tesla to pack more batteries in the car for a similar price.

Quoted from http://waitbutwhy.com/2015/06/how-tesla-will-change-your-lif... :

Right now, Musk says Tesla could make their cars with a 500 mile range—they don’t do it because it would increase the cost of the car.

If we believe the 500 mile range right now quote, then the jump from 500 to 620 seems plausible with a few years of further improvements.

> Common Core is based on a bunch of studies

I'm not an educational researcher and I don't have a thorough understanding of the research methodology or the issues involved in designing those studies. Every Education researcher I've talked to thinks anti-common core people are a bit nuts and/or fundamentally don't understand what common core even is (I think most of them would put you in this second camp, since you're complaining about specific assignments).

But as a mathematician, some problems are obviously the sort of problems that anyone with a passable mathematics education should have no problem solving. The common core problems people complain about are decidedly in this set.

So when people say "I can't solve this common core problem", I mostly take it as an indication that they've had a really shitty mathematics education rather than an indication that common core is flawed.

And yes, even someone who has passed through a calc course at Harvard can be bad at math.

> I guess Harvard, MIT, etc. don't count.

Harvard, MIT, etc. have excellent Mathematics departments and, following my criteria, any Math major for either of those institutions could have a lengthy conversation about common core. Indeed, among the many mathematicians I know with undergraduate degrees from Harvard College, I've never heard a single one complain that common core problems are obtuse or difficult.

The distinction I was drawing is that US-based Calculus for Engineers and ODEs for Engineers courses aren't proof-based except in a small handful of cases. And, those courses are often easy to skate through with little or no mathematical understanding. Yes, even at elite universities.

Which goes back to my original observation -- if you really can't add numbers in a novel way or setup and solve for a set of linear equations, then you're apparently not very good at math. Even if you are an intelligent pattern matcher who made it through a few calc courses by applying templates and performing rote calcuations.
Based on feedback here and on other forums, I've done a slight pivot on the concept. Let me ask you this - companies ask for references from potential candidates all the time. So why can't candidates run a reference check on future bosses and co-workers? It would run off the same rating model but would expand to include not just an interview rating, but a general rating about that particular individual (future boss, co-worker, candidate etc). Thoughts?
