I don't follow the similarity between my argument and your question on hiring discrimination, so I'm not actually sure what is being related here.

Anyway, the government already subsidized certain demographics, for one way or another (various types of welfare, and the population also support a bunch of subsidize that doesn't exists right now: parental leave comes to mind). In essence, it's not a question of "do" or "do not", it's just matter of deciding where to draw the line.

Another distinction is that not all discrimination and welfare discussion is about economic, a lot of policies have to do with moral, ethics and general humanity. With those constraints in mind, the consideration change a lot. The original argument I was replying to was purely economic. If you want to make a moral argument of "people need job to have self actualization and feel good about themselves", then it's not a common argument around here, and certainly worth considering, but completely different.
Caught the tail end of the event. Elon definitely comes across as genuine and a real person. That said, a little practice in the stage presence / showmanship department could certainly help things flow smoother and amp up the excitement a bit; something this brand and its cars deserve!

Or instead, red and blue will actually start listening to their constituents because if they do then they could get two and if they don't they could get zero.
Yep. People with money who're going to be receptive to the "sustainability" pitch.

Not really. The congress works the way it does because it's designed to represent a union of nominally sovereign states. Not matching national polling is a feature -- otherwise, the interests of NY, Boston, Chicago, LA, Atlanta would completely and utterly steamroll everything. The nation doesn't work if nobody gives a shit about Kentucky.

Gerrymandering is a different problem made worse by the Supreme Court's decision that every elected body with the exception of the Senate requires proportional representation.

Since districts are drawn by state legislatures, and state legislatures are only driven by districts cut up by population, there's no incentive do to anything but preserve/expand the numbers for your party. In other words, you don't get the "adult supervision" role that the US Senate delivers (for better or for worse), and get the quality of governance that you see in the US House -- that is drivel.
I agree. Revealing the real name would have been doxing. Finding associated information would be trivial.

The harder question is when doxing is justifiable. Maybe it can arguably be self-defense. But even then, consequences are typically disproportionate. And there's no process for trial, opportunity for rebuttal, judgment by neutral third parties, etc.
Here is a great interview with the developers of the Gears of War HD remake for Xbox One. They used the original, nine-year-old game engine and scripting to keep the same feel.

Yes, clever. The dual hinges don't open up on a consistent arc, their action is recalculated each time based on sonar measurement.
I was having the same experience where I was getting super disappointing battery performance and was ready to replace it, when I read an article where the author claimed it is very unlikely the battery is at the end of its life (wish I could find it) and it is even more unlikely that a battery you buy off of eBay/Amazon will be better than the one you already have.

Its meant for the family room or bedroom. Using it at your desk is a bit counter-intuitive considering how much better support any video player will have for a computer than a phone trying to do chromecast.
I have to admit, I never expected to see my old HS come up on HN for some reason (though I'm still not used to the and the Arts, I went when it was still just the Arkansas School for Mathematics and Sciences.

Ah, memories.
Three interesting bits of hardware that are in both of these new phones - Nexus Imprint (the fingerprint sensor), the Android Sensor Hub (which appears to be a new chip, but no confirmation on what it is or who designed it), and a very nice camera module which seems to be performing nicely.

I've long felt that a major disadvantage for the Android ecosystem is that the OEMs simply don't have the resources to compete with Apple when it comes to designing new hardware, and it leads to situations where the iPhone is years ahead for certain features. One solution for that is for Google to invest in these technologies and make them available to all the OEMs, a bit like Android but for hardware too. I wonder if that's what is happening here? Looking forward to a teardown.
Little slow, though. I'd rather wrench open the door manually than wait for that thing. When Musk demoed it he slid in sideways so it wasn't so obvious.
I can confirm Spotify now works perfectly well on Chromecast
I admire Tesla as a company, but I can't help but wonder why they still have Elon Musk do the entire presentation himself. Sure, he's their superstar, but he comes off as a very underprepared public speaker. I wish they had him do an introduction, and then have a spokesperson do the bulk of the talking. Instead, he's showing off these new and amazing products with nearly no charisma and enthusiasm.
Yeah, the console sort of makes that route impractical, doesn't it?
I'm kind of amazed at the negative reactions this comment got. I'd bet the reason is, "the companies think it would cost more," but god yes it would be more convenient.
Why's that in quotes? It's definitely one of their explicit pitches, and there's a solid demographic of people who care about sustainability and the environment, especially amongst people buying all electric cars.
I'm on the market for a car in Bay area and was considering Tesla until met with somewhat uninspiring people at Tesla dealership delivering conversation in kind of "Yes. No. Thank you" manner leaving me with impression that they were busy with something more interesting than my presence and hoping i won't keep asking these stupid questions about tesla cars.

Were i suppose to make an appointment to avoid being an intrusion factor? Not sure how it works there.

Their self-guided, touch screen TV was way more entertaining but not enough to convince me to become customer though.
I think the article mixes up "type" and "newtype". "newtype Email = String" doesn't make sense.
Normal doors do just as bad in those conditions. Falcon doors perhaps block better at the side and worse, obviously since there is a hole in the roof, at the center.
Bullet lists - I literally left this app for One Note because Evernote COULD NOT properly handle bullet lists. The following is not my post but as of my time of leaving the app, you STILL couldn't properly manage a bullet list. There are dozens of posts asking for bullet lists to be fixed.

I used 5% of the overall features - all I want is to take notes and have them indexed. There was so much bloat and I couldn't make a proper bullet list, so I had no choice to switch. I never understood why people paid for this app.

I disagree. That's not the attraction for me. The attraction for me (personally) is that they have nice image capture and processing software that allows me to link diagrams and math from my paper notebooks to electronic documents with a quick picture taken on my phone. They're a private corporation and not one that is too large to fail; I wouldn't rely on them to not lose my data, I would use something like git for that.
(EDIT: It appears that the crash test rating was also mentioned. I really should watch the presentation before commenting next time; sorry folks.)

I haven't heard the actual presentation yet so perhaps I'm missing some context but:

How exactly is stating a percentage any better than a crash test rating? At least the rating gives you something to compare with (other vehicles) and the tests themselves are well-documented and reasonably well-designed. I would have no idea what to do with a percentage, so it seems like he has replaced a buzzword (crash test ratings) that means something with a buzzword (possibility of injury during high speed collision) that doesn't provide a point of reference.

If Microsoft is going to get solid hold on Mobile, it will be through tablets. The Surface line is relatively well liked. The number one detractor for Windows in mobile is the lack of apps. If Microsoft can use their desktop dominance to push their way into tablets. Life could get very uncomfortable for Google and Apple.
> root cause of failures like this is a principle fundamental to Evernote: data owned by an application, rather than data accessed by an application

Not really. It's not like MS Word reading your .doc find can't corrupt it leaving you hanging if you don't have a backup. Catastrophic data loss isn't cured by the "data accessed by an application" model.
Haskell has decent experimental support for dependent types. I've been using the CLaSH Haskell to hardware conversion system, which makes heavy use of type level arithmetic, with pretty good results.

Are you able to date successfully as an unattractive person without Tinder?

Maybe in the future Tinder should segment its users better so that attractive people are presented to other attractive people, and the plebs stay in their own pool, but it seems more appropriate to just abandon anyone without the resources to make themselves attractive to solitude.

After all, there soon won't be enough jobs for everyone anyway; the growing acceptance of polyamory combined with the divorce (pun not intended) of marriage from its religious basis means we can expect polygamy and polyandry to be legal within our lifetime; as more and more of the world becomes hyper-unequal, why do we expect dating to be any different?

Of course, this is a totally unrelated tangent to the article, which was about the card swiping interface and the advantages therein, but let's not expect an unequal world to be equal in some respects.
People respond to that. Makes me feel like he believes in the product and is not some gypsy.
You don't so much need an algorithm that's fair, but one that's seen as unbiased.
He's claiming they did better than 5 stars, similar to what Tesla claimed about Model S. Tomorrow, you can bet that the feds will be complaining.

He mentions both, goes above and beyond. The 6% approaches a theoretical 6-star rating.
Compared to the "smart" Samsung TV I bought, the Roku is great. It's fast and supports all the major formats.

The not so smart TV software is horrible. If I pause anything it basically crashes, and it takes 6 min from boot to wifi connection.

For Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and Google Play it works great.
Oh, but this algorithms removes all the choice. So there's nothing up anyone's sleeves.

> America is ours, we and our ancestors built it.

America is and was built by immigrants who have (had?) little more in common with you than the Indians in the story. Basically nothing really, except a common geographic area and some shared ideals.

"Stay with us at our 5-star hotel!"

"type" wouldn't work in this context, as it is literally just an alias, so the compiler cannot use to determine what instance to use. In contrast, newtype actually creates a new type, that acts as a wrapper around the old type. I believe what the author meant to say was "newtype Email = Email String".
The problem with taking into account natural or political lines is that there are so many to choose from.

You don't want to leave anything to choice. That's where gerrymandering comes in.
Ah ok, I'm a bit scarred on the Internets I guess, making assumptions about simple quotes. Thanks for clarifying =)
Sounds like you want to buy from salespeople on commission.
The primary use of these rules, in my experience, is to prevent the common usage from changing. You certainly don't do a good job teaching language by asking people to memorize formal rules. You also aren't going to make a computer understand natural language by writing down formal rules.

So why do it? To make observations? Observations don't need formalization; just provide good statistics.

Can you source that actual claim about Model S?
In the original article here, they discuss how the reason for this feature is that some people get shadowbanned a little too aggressively. "Banned accounts sometimes post good comments, software filters sometimes have false positives, and users sometimes flag things unfairly."

It seems to me the whole point of the vouch features is to have an easier recourse for other commenters to respond to people being shadowbanned (or otherwise dead for mistaken reasons, like tripping a filter or unfairly flagged by other users), rather than actually having to find the mod email and send an out of band message.
Really happy with Chromecast. I can be watching something on my phone, and as I'm walking up the stairs, hit the chromecast button and it turns on my TV and is already continuing whatever I was watching. I mostly use it with Twitch, and have no complaints at all. Will probably get a new one for the 5Ghz support.

> Your idea that Indians (or perhaps Chinese) should be the only ones coming in sounds a bit racist to my ears actually.

I only mentioned Indians because the article was about Indians.

Or the US could have work visas that aren't so closely linked to a specific employer. I agree the H1-B terms as they are now are ridiculous and exploitative.
What's "wrong" depends on who's defining it.

So I'd rephrase that: If you haven't done anything that resourceful adversaries consider wrong, you don't have anything to hide.
Exactly. The point of the page is to pique your interest, ideally to the point where you decide to sign up for email updates. In many ways, giving more concrete information works against that goal, so the page doesn't do that.

Really cool article. However, I found myself thinking, "ok, that's nice of you for not doxing the guy, but, you kinda just handed the keys to the kingdom to the internet." Doesn't seem like SLJ cares one way or another, but, I got the feeling that the author knows that this article will undoubtedly lead to SLJ's outing within a month, two months tops. There's more than enough bored programmers out there who'll just apply the methods described wholesale, and throw it out there on reddit, or wherever. So, I'm not sure how I feel about the whole "doing the right thing by not doxxing" issue, b/c it seems like we're sort of splitting hairs on the issue.

Hey cdvonstinkpot,

It looks like your main concern is about getting Traction. Here are the 19 channels for getting traction : https://medium.com/swlh/the-19-channels-you-can-use-to-get-t...

How many have you tried? Trying some other channels will certainly help you get the users you want.

Tesla press release:

http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130820005458/http://www.tes...

(Edit: I had to link to the wayback machine because Tesla subsequently removed the press release. Alternately, there's also the blog posting that you yourself pointed to elsewhere in this thread, with the same language: http://www.teslamotors.com/blog/tesla-model-s-achieves-best-...)

The feds pushed back that 5 stars is the max, and there's no such thing as doing better than 5 stars.
Apparently they don't work in the US.

That link says that they work in Canada, and they work in Australia too.

Without an underlying reason identified, this conclusion is somewhat unsatisfying.

Tesla are building a great brand and part of that comes from the presence of a visionary like him. I think a lot of people respect the fact he doesn't allow a PR person to BS the audience. But hey, they've come this far doing it this way so I don't see a need to change now.
hopefully you were ipv6 enabled that way they can track it to your individual device.
Because it matters. Would you rather hear about any Tesla news from elon musk or some random pr person they hired?
As many of us know, it's still possible in many situations if you can get the front door open just enough to squeeze through. The reason why you want to engineer something better for the rear door is for families, mainly. You need a bigger aperture to help kids in and out of car seats, for example. That's a huge use case for the Model X.

If you have kids and you watched this you are going bonkers right now.
If your product is good enough you shouldn't need showmanship.

And where is the claim, I can't seem to find it in your link.

Edit: My comment is still valid, there was simply no such claim made.
The bottomline is that someone doesn't need to hack a server to steal your fingerprint, you leave those everywhere you go as virtual gifts to any passers-by. All they need to do is steal your phone, and that's pick-pocketing level easy.
I understand the article was from 2004, when PCs were about 2-4x slower.

But to me, a microkernel isn't about performance. It's a complement to monolithic kernels. When I am writing source code, or typing up an important document, or archiving files for preservation ... I want to be doing this on a microkernel OS.

I have had my FreeBSD system crash completely due to the video card driver (from nVidia, of course) accessing unmapped memory. That's completely illogical. Drop me to a text terminal, or hell, force me to SSH in to unmount and reboot cleanly. But don't drop the entire system. Yet with a monolithic kernel, how can you be sure the video driver didn't corrupt some other part of the kernel space?

Likewise, if I want to play the latest video game, or I'm using it as a render farm, or to mine bitcoins, or I need to run a web server that needs scalability more than stability ... then I want to be doing that on a monolithic kernel.

We have most OSes that focus on raw performance, then we have NetBSD that focuses on portability, and then OpenBSD that focuses on security. Where's our (non-toy) OS whose primary focus is on stability? So far, Minix 3 looks like the most promising option, but it has no enterprise file system like ZFS, and is severely lacking in manpower.
That sounds more like an engineering challenge than a UX compromise. Also, as these heated threads show, what "everyone wants" is a bit elusive. I think they could overcome these "costs" if they wanted, but they don't -- the actual UX "cost" of complicating how the user interacts with storage is probably one reason why.
I think I like it better with Elon, than if there was some random sales pitch person with a perfectly rehearsed and forcefully over-enthusiastic presentation. It's a combination of respect for the man, and a sense in which we're geeking out over the features together in an informal and relaxed manner. Something like that.
Automattic make money from Simperium and they provide Simplenote as a freebie to showcase the technology I guess.
He seemed to get a bit technical when talking about filters. I wish he had been more clear and described exactly what the use of filters were to normal people. In that when you're in the vehicle, you'll be breathing in less toxins emitted by other vehicles etc.

If anyone is looking for a possible alternative for notetaking that is not OneNote, I like nvAlt: http://brettterpstra.com/projects/nvalt/

It does not have the same 'notebook' concept that evernote does, but that might not matter to you.
