In the nexus presentation, they mentioned that a few symbol keys were moved up to soft keys to fit the keyboard while keeping a laptop-like distance between keys. So, it might not be super convenient, but you can likely still type your passwords.
Italy and Israel are two countries that have had very proportional systems in recent time frames.

Having lived in Italy, I am not that impressed by the politics there, and think that proportional representation with party lists is part of the problem.

I think STV is pretty interesting, but producing one winner is no bad thing either. Of course, as per Arrow, nothing is perfect.
Couldn't possibly disagree more. He comes off as genuine instead of as a script-reading marketing person. He really cares about the product and the end goal and every inch of this originates from him.

This is his version of enthusiasm. Steve Jobs wasn't any more "enthusiastic"....he was soft-spoken and straightforward, too, he just didn't stutter/hesitate the way Elon naturally does, so he came across as much smoother.

If you think not having Elon out front and center for this company would be a good thing, you've really not grasped the symbiotic bond between him and his companies and his customers.

This is just another way Tesla is unique-- they don't overmarket everything, they don't run ads, they don't have some slick super-model announce their products. The main engineer, the guy who designed it, talks about it in his own way. I wouldn't have them change a thing.
They revealed today that the base model has a 90kWh battery, which is currently the top-of-the-line pack size for the Model S. Thus, it's almost certain that the starting point will be north of 90k and very likely over 100k with a few basic options thrown in.
Hey razeonex,
Its generally recommended to have a co-founder from those whom you know already. Are you sure there is no one of your friend who can be the business cofounder? You can also try http://founderdating.com/

One more thing, contrary to popular belief, there are many successful solo entrepreneurs out there. If you think you can learn about business legislation in Mexico, starting up as a single founder is also an option. You can bring in others later.

Thanks
I enjoyed it a lot.

It had that iPhone/iPad launch (genuine) excitement to it. Those cheers were real even if half of them were Tesla employees. And yeah he should practice more but I also don't think you can fake the kind of charm someone like Steve Jobs just naturally had on stage.
Any bounded size hash function has a bounded size output, which means a bounded number of buckets (number of possible outputs). That means that as the hash table gets arbitrarily large, you have to keep stacking new elements in each bucket. As the size goes to infinity, each bucket has a linear number of elements which have to be accessed in linear time.
Fuel efficiency is dominated by other factors, so no it won't.

When every pound of fuel requires 5 pounds to lift it, things go one way. When every pound of fuel requires a tenth of a pound to push it, things go another way.

Although you can't browse it, you can instruct Evernote to keep a local copy of all your data, allowing you to keep incremental backups. You can find (and change, if you want) the database folder under Tools/Options, General.

I do agree with your other points, although there are significant limitations to using the filesystem for storage in an application like Evernote. Perhaps a good compromise would be to use a publicly available database engine like postgres (although I'm sure they derive advantages from their proprietary format beyond the mere fact that it's proprietary).
These are some useful but quite unofficial tutorials written by ~hidduc-posmeg, who's probably asleep right now. It's always pathetic when your users shame you into documentation by reverse-engineering the system and writing their own. (See also: https://github.com/laanwj/urbit-tools)

These are markdown files served from ~hidduc-posmeg's own planet and converted to HTML by urbit, proxied by ~hidduc-posmeg's star ~doznec. Since this system isn't actually supposed to be live yet, hidduc-posmeg.urbit.org is DNSed to doznec.urbit.org; ~doznec talks to ~hidduc-posmeg over Urbit's own network, an encrypted P2P protocol (%ames). Ideally, hidduc-posmeg.urbit.org would DNS to the actual Unix server the planet is running on, for obvious reasons.

This whole thing, like http://www.urbit.org, would fall over in a few seconds of HN traffic if it wasn't behind an nginx cache. However, if you look at your network window you should see a long-poll. If ~hidduc-posmeg edits zir tutorials from vim on zir Unix server and saves, this will drive an update event that'll propagate forward and refresh your browser. You can see this in action in our demos...
Yep, one of my friends is learning to brew beer, distil spirits, and farm his own food, so he'll be set for when the zombie apocalypse occurs.
I use Skitch daily... but I don't sync it to Evernote, usually just to screenshot, annotate and dump the marked up image into Slack or an email, I don't use it for anything I want to persist. Other than the sync aspect in the interface I hardly notice it's an Evernote product at all. I could get by with Preview.app and Grab, but Skitch's obnoxious default pink arrows and widely stroked text are perfect for calling out visual errors on projects.

Likewise, I use Evernote Scannable every so often without connecting to Evernote because it's a really good scanner app. Exports and emails images without any fuss.

I'd be perfectly happy if both apps were spun [back] off into their own entities too. Evernote as a note taking company doesn't do anything for me, but they do have other nice products.
I don't think comparisons can be drawn there. It's impossible to do a 2000 mile drive in a day. I regular do two of those flights. Likewise, there are not many 20-minute flights.

What Every Block of Manhattan Looked Like 400 Years Ago
That's true, but every time an individual result is unfair... it's still unfair. If I live on the red side and there are two blue reps, I have literally no representation despite comprising 50% of the population. The fact that I sometimes get to sock it to the blue side with two red reps is unfair to them. This isn't a case of turnabout is fair play, as the promise of representative government is that everyone gets a voice and decisions are generally made by consensus, compromise, and occasionally a smack down vote.

Let me put it another way, which system would you prefer to live in?

The unexpected upshot of John Boehner’s ouster: The TPP is in danger
These poor kids live in a suburb filled with incredibly wide streets designed for cars rather than pedestrians, sometimes no sidewalks, and many large 4–6 lane arterial roads & at least one freeway along their route. They seem to have a pretty long hike to get to school, and are apparently the only people walking around their neighborhood.

It’s little wonder that most people won’t let their kids walk to school anymore in this kind of poorly designed neighborhood. Suburbia of this type is an awful place to be a child, or anyone else without the ability to drive.

Imagine how much nicer it would be if the streets were mostly 1–2 driving lanes wide with fewer parking lanes, if the town had more public green space, if most of the adults could commute to work via walking/bicycle/public transit too, and if the kids’ walking route could be shortened by making sure schools are distributed near residential areas, or at least on the same side of the freeway.
Tesla's non-commissioned showroom employees are a lot less pushy than commissioned car salespeople. Maybe you prefer the latter.

This is a fair criticism. I agree that they would be more sensitive to constituent concerns, but isn't it still perverse if half the population has no voice in government because the other side was tactically better? Also, it is still possible to discipline an egregiously bad rep even though they're technically in a "safe" district, so it's not like you've totally lost control.

Actually I'd say a large percentage of people would be very well served by a globally diversified index fund for all their equity holdings...

And perhaps the analogy is still useful. I'm ok with that situation because I understand and accept the logic of indexing. If the fund I owned changed their prospectus and decided to start active management, or significantly increased their management fee, or whatever, I could pull my money out and invest it elsewhere. Similarly in software there are definite advantages to having a dedicated steward for a given type of data, but it's much better if there is some way to take your data back should you decide to put it elsewhere.

With Evernote, it is possible to export all your notes in a variety of formats, including XML, which can then be imported into other note taking applications if you wish. So to me, the bare fact that the application controls the data isn't necessarily an issue. What was becoming an issue was the fact that they didn't appear to treat it with sufficient respect. I hope we'll see that start to change now.

I imagine the door flying open and bonking into things would be far more upsetting to customers than a slow one that you can open by hand to speed up the process.
The parallel is in saying that inefficiencies should be avoided and that companies should be allowed to pursue savings wherever they can.
If so, if they can skirt the system by hiring cheaper labor and creating unemployment for those lower skilled workers, then if we don't care about employing lower skilled workers but compensate them with alternative means (basic income, etc) then why not address other ills the same way? Don't address the root of the issue, just subsidize it away.
> 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.

For the latest video game, with a microkernel (and an IOMMU keeping the video card from trashing memory), when switching to fullscreen mode, your OpenGL library could request that your video game process become the video driver, with no loss of security or stability. That gives you lower overhead access to the video card than a monolithic kernel.

For compute-bound tasks such as bitcoin mining, a small realtime microkernel will give you better instruction cache utilization. (Back in university system architecture class, I ran cache benchmarks under Linux, QNX, and Win2k on my triple-boot desktop, QNX gave me the best cache performance.)

If you need to run a high-performance webserver, if you need absolute performance, run it in-kernel. If not, a microkernel (and a properly configured IOMMU) allows you to safely make your process the network driver as well as filesystem and disk drivers for your dedicated www data drive. Now, you'll want a second network port with its own chipset (perhaps on its own card) for being able to ssh in if the webserver crashes, but you'll have higher performance than a monolithic kernel.

In short, microkernels along with appropriate hardware protections allow you to safely make your device drivers just ordinary libraries that run inside your critical processes, giving you higher performance without sacrificing security or stability.

EDIT: I should also point out that Oracle, Postgress, and other high-performance RDMSes go through a lot of work to do "kernel bypass". A microkernel with minimum cache footprint would better get out of their way and more safely turn over more functionality to the application.
Why do we need to use a bounded size hash function?
Hmm, that's an interesting solution. You could always combine this with a private github repo and get easy-to-browse note-taking. It does seem like having to manually sync would be annoying though, is it really better than solutions like GDocs?

Yes, at one point he literally used the word 'death'. Don't remind people that your product might one day kill them!

Then he had a slide that showed how you would die early by living in a big city. The first ~10 minutes was a real downer.

After they spent all of that time on all the things that could kill you, they didn't once show the drivers seating area which seemed like a real omission.

(And, yes. I like Elon. I like Tesla. I own a teeny tiny amount of TSLA stock. I'd be sorely tempted to get a Model S if I had somewhere to charge it. )
That is very helpful. Now their business model makes sense.

I wonder why they don't even mention Simperium on their home page? It's not even mentioned under Help. It's a secret?

They even have a a perfect opportunity to mention it. E.g. in Simplenote Help they say:

Q: How does syncing work?

A: All notes are synced between your device
...
they automatically and wirelessly show up
in the other locations

I guess they want us to hypothesize that magical "Data Fairies" do this syncing?

It wouldn't shock me if majority of Asian exports were limited to ASEAN countries. Regional economic cooperation pact has done wonders for the region. Despite sporadic political unrest, these countries have flourished.

Similar pacts can work great for South Asia, if Pakistan and India could just get their shit together.

Not exactly, that's what bcrypt and scrypt are for. Attackers would have to modify the running code to divert raw passwords elsewhere, which would be a lot more noticeable.
This isn't the opposite of microkernel design. Such a "library OS", where the OS provides dynamically linkable libraries that provide OS services have been researched, often seen as microkernels taken to the extreme. See the Exokernel from MIT as one example.
Going to troll a little. At my high school, IMSA was known as just as IA:

"The Math Team at Naperville North ...and won ten consecutive Math Team state championships (1998–2007). ... The WYSE team won the state championship from 1999 to 2005, 2007 to 2009, 2012, and 2013."[1]

=P

IMSA and other high schools in the area were pretty close, as you'd apply to IMSA after doing a year at the other high schools in the area.

It has really good pen/stylus support. It has completely replaced handwritten notes for me.

However, although it's amazing compared to a pen and paper it's still incredibly frustrating to work with.

* It can't handle large amounts of handwriting without igniting relatively powerful computers

* It crashes constantly when trying to balance pen input with palm rejection

* Syncing doesn't really work with non-trivial merging and doesn't handle sync errors nor errors in general well -- all of these usually end up with handwriting layered on top of itself

* Syncing is basically out of your control, you can't do partial syncs when you really need a section/page fast, and large notebooks with handwriting can take hours to sync completely. I've basically resigned to splitting my notes into many smaller notebooks.

* Handwriting on the "Desktop" version is a complete joke and so you're constantly switching between the that and the app to get good handwriting and more features.

So it's great, until it doesn't work then it's a nightmare.

I think hellbanning has its place. There are people who join websites with no intent of contributing -- who want to make trouble, to troll, to harass, to create link-juice for other sites, or otherwise benefit themselves at the expense of others. An ordinary ban simply invites them to return under a new name and keep it up. A hellban both stops their negative influence from propagating, and stops them from realizing that it's time to make a new account.

The problem, of course, is that sometimes people actually do intend to contribute but are caught in a hellban because they made a single mistake, or possibly even because they said something that bothered a moderator but was completely reasonable for them to have said. Allowing users to "vouch" is a nice counter to this -- if we see a genuine contributor who has been mistakenly flagged as a troll, we the community can fix it.

This is a fantastic change.
Serious question. If you are just making plaintext notes how come you are not just using your text editor of choice? Vim, Emacs, Sublime, Atom etc etc

The problem with Evernote is with the way they treat data. I found a really interesting guide hosted on Evernote[1] and I tried to download it. But no, I couldn't, because, they took the pains to block someone from downloading their notebooks and made my life so difficult in the end that I not only gave up on the conversion, but also stopped being their customer. I couldn't even print the damn thing! Ironically, they called it a shared notebook. What a joke!

I refuse to stop paying for any service that doesn't believe in open sharing through widely accepted/popular formats. The internet is alive today only because people believe in sharing information, not holding it back behind such a walled garden.

I refuse to support such companies. Not in 2015 atleast.

[1]This is the notebook in question and mind you, it's a "Shared" notebook:
https://www.evernote.com/pub/contentblueprint/thecontentmark...

Ever since I left Evernote, I created a private Wordpress blog and used their sharing bookmark to store notes, snippets and everything else.

I also use Google docs and Apple Notes app for other kinds of data and it has served me well. I understand this wouldn't fit everyone's bill, but it definitely fit mine.

So, adios Evernote! Hope someone replaces you soon!
Technically, crashes caused by Google's self driving car is not "12 per 1 million," it is "0 per 1 million." which is significantly better than "1.85 per million" for humans. Inversely, crashes caused by humans involving a self driving car is 12 per 1 million. Not a good record for humans. :)

It's also important to take note where the driving is. In densely populated regions, you are more likely to have minor accidents such as fender benders than on the open road. However, the open road is more likely to get you killed if you are involved in an accident due to speed.

All this "techy-BS" is not belittling humans by creating self driving cars. I strongly believe the opposite is true, humans are amazing because we can build artificial intelligent systems to handle these kinds of tasks for us and let us focus on bigger and better problems than steering a car. Your same argument falls flat with other technologies. Why have a computer add numbers when we have a wonderful brain that can do the same? I argue that it is because we build systems to augment and work around our deficiencies. One of those deficiencies is our driving skill. Over 30,000 in the US alone die due to auto accidents. Self driving cars has the potential to eliminate most of these deaths. Ideally, we'll get to a point where a death on the road makes national news because of its rarity.
This is the claim that the feds disagreed with:

"NHTSA does not publish a star rating above 5, however safety levels better than 5 stars are captured in the overall Vehicle Safety Score (VSS) provided to manufacturers, where the Model S achieved a new combined record of 5.4 stars."

Joe of PackageCloud was kind enough to change the code so that an id will be send back, not the hostname.

The changes:
1.) Renamed hostname to unique_id everywhere, and added more prose
around replacing unique_id with any unique identifier.
2.) Removed the unique_id code from install scripts for public repos
(still exists in private repos)
3.) Modified the manual install instructions to be easier to follow,
and not require a curl to the server for public repos.
4.) Added mirroring instructions for both YUM and APT.
