I reckon Evernote would be good bolt-on for a cloud collaboration company like Huddle or Box. The problem is that it's not worth $1bn to a company like that, so any acquisition would result in a paper loss for those who invested at a $1bn valuation (not to mention the founders and employees who would probably get screwed by liquidation preferences).

About your market: Do you market to SEO folks? Or directly to the businesses who are trying to optimize? I am curious because your pricing plans start at 2 websites, which makes me think the former.
If I had a family, and disposable income, this would definitely be my vehicle of choice. That said, I liked this bit: "There are three modes: circulate with outside air, re-circulate inside air and a bioweapon defense mode that creates positive pressure inside the cabin to protect occupants."

Funny regardless, but insane if true.

But your first comment was about a habit of even one cup a day leading you to be unable to travel for fear of withdrawal. I don't think that's a massive amount, and I'm curious how long you think is "long enough" to induce withdrawal.
"The company's engineering staff has grown to 1,200 — a quarter of Uber's workforce — from just 400 people."

1200? I'd be very interested to know what they're all doing. Not saying that what the company is doing is easy on that scale, but it's hard to see how throwing a thousand people at the problem can be an effective solution. Unless many of them are working on new products? But Uber seems pretty young to be investing that much in R&D.
Europe was really led astray when they were told that diesels were better for the environment, hybrids would have been the way to go.

Well if you dont want to talk about fruit, then talk about Tea. There's about zero debate about tea being not healthy, and I don't see massive differences between a tea-based drink and a coffee based drink - they actually have lots of commonalities.

At least in my limited world view Oracle deserves praise when it comes to how they handled the open source stuff. I'm sure there is room for criticism, but they could have been complete assholes and they weren't.

I would agree with this if researchers were not under insane pressure to produce findings (as opposed to understanding).

If a researcher designs a great experiment, but after collecting and analyzing all the data comes to the conclusion that there is no link between eating chocolate and health, then she will a horrible time publishing it in a respected science journal, even if that's what the data says.
I went through to the actual report (http://www.transportenvironment.org/sites/te/files/publicati...) and found an infographic (figure 8) that shows some of the methods manufacturers can use to defeat tests.

"Pushing the brake pads fully into the callipers reduces rolling resistance" is apparently one way. That makes me ask the question, why don't we do this already? If it reduces rolling resistance it probably also increases brake-pad life. That'd be a win-win for drivers.

Okay.. I'm a Model S owner and I love Tesla and I chuckled at the whole Insane mode and gave a bit of an amused snort at Ludicrous mode.

This, however, really makes me wonder WTH is going on there:

HEPA Air Filters
"There are three modes: circulate with outside air, re-circulate inside air and a bioweapon defense mode that creates positive pressure inside the cabin to protect occupants."

EDIT: Very fair points about driving by skunks or nasty smells. The naming is what gets me though. If it was called Noxious Smell Defense Mode or something, that would make perfect sense. Looking at Wikipedia, a "medical grade HEPA filter" can filter out 99.97% of particles at least 0.3 micrometers in diameter. Dunno if the Tesla filters are also using UV irradiation, and I also couldn't find any documentation of the particulate size of skunk odor, so it will be interesting to see documentation on what exactly it can filter out.

EDIT2: Watched a bit of the intro event video. Looks like it has a specific set of activated charcoal filters for sulfur type particulates, so certainly seems like it could be a skunk odor killer. :)
Sounds like there are plenty of worms in this particular can waiting to come out.

This is the big next step that a lot of people were expecting - where in-depth studies into all of the competitors occurs and it's gradually revealed that this defeat device game has been played by almost everyone in the industry. It'll be interesting to see the repercussions for the automakers, but inevitably this'll end with sweeping legislation changes and reform of the testing protocol and standards.
It could be zero. I'm really not sure. Someone has to go through the vulns and check if they are protected or not. It probably doesn't harm security and may stop some future bug but if you have limited resources to apply to security it might be worth installing grsecurity instead of this. (https://grsecurity.net/) They are often boasting about how grsecurity would have stopped a vuln. So they seem to have a track record of useful mitigations.
Cool as this is, the only thing that sketches me out is the "automatic braking" feature. If I go to avoid something and it slams on the brakes, isn't that going to totally change my trajectory possibly causing an accident? Or a false positive causing heavy braking which someone could be surprised by and overcorrect for causing an accident?
Fail2Ban is great - I've used it for more than just blocking brute force attacks on ssh (although a real security expert might say this is the wrong tool to use).
You can bet your life this web app doesn't use an algorithm that is both always correct and scales efficiently with the size of the formula.

Personally, for infrastructure level stuff like that and if I was starting from scratch, I would chose Haskell.

At the scale of Uber and given that there would be a lot of legacy hanging around, I would probably chose to build on top of the kind of scala libraries that twitter has been putting out (which it sounds like from the other article about uber's micro services currently on HN they are doing).

The serious statement behind my slightly tongue in cheek remark earlier, was that I don't think either python or node are suitable for building infrastructure type applications that will form the backbone of a constelation of SOA type applications. Round the edges, it's slightly more defensible. However for central infrastructure, I'd rather have rather more foot-bullet barriers than those offer.
Given that you have a lot of NodeJS and Python developers I would look at Vert.x.

You could then let both sides continue to write the code in the language they are comfortable with but still work on a common
platform. Plus being on the JVM it is fast and scalable.

It is not sensible to just stop what you are doing whilst you retrain and rehire your engineering team to learn a new language. Especially in a competitive hiring market like San Francisco.

I note:

According to Pliny, an artist presented the Roman Emperor Tiberius
with a cup of glass that wouldn’t break when thrown on the
ground. When Tiberius asked the artist if anyone else knew of this
invention and the artist said no, Tiberius killed him—and so began
the myth of the lost malleable glass.

This would give a good argument to patent your inventions. However it doesn't work, because when you submit a patent in the USA, the US government has the right to take it over and erase it from public knowledge, and I think we have numerous examples of dubious deaths of free-energy inventors, so we can't exclude that they also killed them.

Nothing changed at all since Tiberius.

Quite similar to how these things happen in corporations. No exec ever makes a decision to violate the law, they just put underlings into stressful situations where they can't achieve the set goals without doing so.

Dear HN Community,

Thanks in advance for your feedback on my start-up, Giftmasters.com. It's still a bit rough (and slow) but I hope you like it!
If you are choosing a whole new language why not one of the JVM ones.

It is faster and more scalable than Go plus it has a usable debugger.
The author confuses a state of calm contentment with boredom. And despite the new-age rhetoric, she admits to trying to solve it - she asks us to think instead of doing things, in the hopes that thinking would help us stumble into profundity.

But thought can be worse than action - thinking quickly spirals into brooding. Pardon me for yet another misrepresentation of depression, but I confuse it with boredom, albeit in an existential sense.

Zazen encourages us to meditate on our breath and to observe our thoughts so that they hopefully melt away. It asks us to think less, not more; to shut down our internal monologue which is the biggest agent of human misery. The trope of the mad genius is true - there are three great books that touches on this subject: Hesse's Steppenwolf, Colin Wilson's The Outsider, and the amazing Logicomix. Also a recent research surfaced on HN on neuroticism and the dangers of self-generated thoughts - http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1364661315....

There is however a kind of thought that _is_ action. The state of flow when deep in deliberate thought, trying to solve hard problems (hard is relative to the person thinking it) is amazing. That kind of thought is very different from thoughts about the self, or doing drugs looking for profound realizations - there unfortunately isn't anything deeper about life that we'll be able to figure out by random introspection. Science is our best bet for that; not LSD, not meditation, not boredom.
Just using the google answer for "how big is LA" doesn't really cut it as there are millions of people that live outside of LA proper but still in the region that most people would call "LA". If you go to Wikipedia for Greater Los Angeles it's 34,000 square miles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Los_Angeles_Area

sqrt(34000) is nearly 200 miles on a side. And that doesn't really even cover all the areas that one might Uber from or to. So you'll have a lot of people crossing shard boundaries.

Greater LA has some 18mm residents, and again that doesn't count some of the places very close but not really IN the area. Places you might drive to in 15 minutes from the edge, over a pass.

Ever drove past a skunk corpse ? Only happened to me a few times when I traveled in the USA - still have PTSD...
Thanks. I didn't see explanations of the graphics driver restart in those MSDN links, but I found one here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff...

And third party articles: https://www.blackhat.com/docs/us-14/materials/us-14-vanSprun...
http://bsodtutorials.blogspot.fi/2013/12/timeout-detection-a...

So there's a user-space part to the GPU driver and a kernel-space part, much like on Linux.

For the recovery functionality it sounds like the graphics card's kernel-side GPU driver just registers a callback that is used by Windows when it thinks the GPU or driver is stuck, but there aren't any special arrangements to make this robust against the driver corrupting OS state or other hardware. Same kind of mechanism could be implemented in Linux.

I'll save those OS X links for later when I have time to look into that one!
I guess "teaching for the test" applies to car manufacturing as well...

I guess my objection is that the effort necessary to align the device on a pad. It requires as much effort aligning as plugging it into a micro USB connector albeit it's only a 1 handed operation.
I think she is using the term boredom in a somewhat misguided way. In fact it seems like he is really talking about something else — laziness.

Boredom is to literally not know what to do because nothing excites you.

What she is talking about is that we have become so lazy that instead of taking up a hobby we just end up using cellphones to kill time. Which i would agree with but it's a quite different point.
I think we all should agree that this is the same for every car manufacturer (except electric). Sure, european manufacturers are the target now, but i expect same results from all other manufacturers (including asian and american).

Lab results never represent real street results. How could they? People drive differently and the outcome is based on many aspects that you can't reproduce in lab conditions.
The brake pads and jaws get contaminated with dust and the like,making them stick a little. My guess is they get disassembled before test and cleaned perfectly.
I think that one of the helpful side effects of being on the go constantly is avoidance of unanswerable philosophical or existential questions. If you're busy, you're not going to get kneecapped by these depressions-in-disguise. Having time to wallow can be detrimental, because it can build a habit out of wallowing. Capitalism/materalism does a very good job of disguising that even at its best it doesn't necessarily provide a life that everyone would agree is worth living.

Of course, you could argue that existential and philosophical questions are critical to a studied life that is worth living, but meh.

Do you think there is any value in educating the customer further? Periodically (5mins) reminding the user with a small notification to save (and backup) their work? I agree it can become a UX Nightmare (e.g. MS Paperclipguy), but having a checkbox "do not remind me again" could possibly go a long way as well.
You are not considering the implications of how synching works. How do you know you lost files? I back up with Time Machine, Time Machine runs every hour and creates a limited set of back ups I can go back to. Meanwhile if there's a synching problem and files get eaten by my file synching service Time Machine will happily assume those files were removed by me. One year later when I go to find some picture of my daughter I took and the file is gone you tell me what backup I go to to restore that file. You have 1 year's worth of hourly backups? I don't.

Clearly, enormous amounts of money have been made by monetizing policing in the USA, so there must be some interesting cultural difference that prevents that toxic meme from infecting Japan. Whatever it is, we could use some of those antibodies here.
