This is by OSM policy, which wants an individual (in this case, you) inspecting everything. It isn't fair to blame public data sources for this. OSM policy makes it incredibly difficult to import data from public sources like this. OSM could change this, if they wanted to. If we want more high-quality data out there that integrates with public data sources, we should make it easy for them rather than putting barriers in front of them.

I like it, but replace internal combustion engine with a micro turbine and the opportunities for a "better" hybrid system are extensive.
Looks really cool! Pricing is the big stickler for me. I've been burned too many times to build any critical piece of my app with it without knowing how much it'll cost if it gets popular.

Your suggested configuration has very big downsides. Basically, your config would be an electric car which carries around a complete internal combustion engine, gas tank, and exhaust system just in case it runs out of battery. For simple commutes and around town, you'd be better off jettisoning the weight and cost and getting a slightly bigger battery.

The hybrid car as originally conceived is genius: Small and efficient gas engines are very gutless. Add an electric motor to fix the gutlessness and improve efficiency in stop-and-go circumstances.

Electric cars are wonderful too. Trying to combine the benefits of all-electric with a hybrid is questionable.
Interestingly enough, all of the bullet-pointed problems are problems inherent in physical plant management for manufacturing (except privacy). This is possibly due to the lessons capital-intensive industries that have to date been manufacturing are also applicable to capital-intensive services that are largely commoditized and interchangeable (like getting transported from point A to point B). Taxi service is a good textbook example of a service that requires a minimum level of knowledge, but is extremely repetitive and doesn't benefit exponentially from human intervention.
Interesting that this important line was omitted from the LATimes article:

“Despite the problems, [CONSUMER REPORTS] data show that Tesla owner satisfaction is still very high: Ninety-seven percent of owners said they would definitely buy their car again."

That is a direct quote from the CS article and featured in other prominent media. (1)

I get that a negative CS article could potentially influence brand perception for non-owners but seems somewhat irresponsible to report only the negative side of the story especially when the Tesla LITERALLY ranked #1 in Consumer Reports 2014's Automotive Satisfaction.

I live in Hawaii. El Niño has had a direct impact on us this year. It's been a really weird summer. Fewer days of tradewinds, more days of hot and muggy.

Many other things may be associated with it (increased coral bleaching, increased hurricane activity, increased flooding, etc). All of which need to be studied to verify connection. It makes me very happy that we're able to gather and analyze this information.

I'm not so sure I agree that's overly ethically gray - it's EM radiation detection just like using any other camera or eyeballs, only at different wavelengths.

X-ray imaging, on the other hand, seems FAR more ethically gray to me, especially given the potential public health consequences.
So some sales figures from random unchecked websites

Tesla: 10k/qtr or 40k cars pa
BMW: 26k/mth or 312k car pa

So BMW sells 8x tesla (lots of hand wavy around figures), and tesla is selling at 13x BMW

Seems like a good bet - Tesla just needs to replace one of the worlds major brands. VW just imploded so there is room in the market without any major shifts.

Right. So when tesla appears to stumble on this path, that is going to impact the share price more severely than it would a company whose value is more inline with its peers.

Hi, thanks for posting this. I can see that you successfully imported ~3000 bookmarks. We have an issue right now with non-latin characters in category/bookmark names. This seems to be the reason for the error you are getting. We are working on a fix!
> How do we start this discussion on defending our nation and protecting our civil liberties and privacy?

How were you doing it before the internet? Go back to that.
But Tesla hasn't stumbled on this path, its stumbled on its vehicles. The vehicles have simply been a method to bootstrap their Supercharger network and Gigafactory, which are both on schedule. Arguably, once enough vehicle manufacturers were producing electric cars, Tesla could close up their vehicle manufacturing business if they were so inclined (and exist solely to provide battery packs).

I agree with what you're saying, but "low popularity" is just one mark on one side of the pros/cons list.

New languages can outweigh low popularity with lots of other important qualities: syntax, tooling, appropriateness for a certain purpose, abundance of libraries, etc. If the new language is easy to learn, that pretty much defeats the issue of low popularity all together!

Unfortunately, a lot of new/amazing languages with great tooling are somewhat hard to learn. Again, Haskell might be a great language, but it's daunting to people who only have experience with C-like languages.

Go is one of the exceptions, and I think it did that intentionally. Instead of having complex syntax, it just has lots of boilerplate. It's easier to read and easier to learn at the expense of being harder to write and harder to modify.
I don't know very many people who write server-side code in C or ASM, so "stop trying to write in a different language than the one used by the runtime" doesn't seem to be a very popular rule outside of the JS world either.
Thanks, you're right. I was thinking of the old version. http://stable.ascii-flow.appspot.com/#Draw
> any language will allow you to write expressions that are hard for humans to parse

The problem isn't "hard to parse", but rather "easy to parse --- in two or more ways".
Sorry, but in this case I'm not talking about public (eg: gov't, et al) data sources. For most of the MTB trail guides out there (eg: MTB Project, Trail Forks) they ask users to submit trail data then they keep it locked up.

I'm particularly bothered by this in the case of MTB Project which works with IMBA, a non-profit, yet doesn't share the data back with the greater world.
> The Turkish children had received less instruction in numbers and counting than the Canadians. Yet the Turkish children improved their counting skills more after practicing in the lab with a numbered board game, according to the study...

To me, that almost sounds like there's a skill level ceiling that's as far as the numbered board game can take you, and the Turkish children improved more because they were further from the game's ceiling to begin with, because they had received less previous instruction in numbers and counting.
That's cool and all... but I can't help but think, "I spend my entire day staring at screens -- rock climbing is an escape from that kind of thing."
Which feature are you using in TypeScript that wasn't in Flow?

It absolutely would be considered insider trading, as this report before its publication clearly falls under the definition of Material Non-Public Information, ie. any information that could reasonably be expected to affect the price of a security, and that hasn't been published yet.
That's an interesting point. If Quality Control issues persist (at a rate statistically significant vs. the 'competition'), and there's a larger number of vehicles purchased / in use, then I wonder if the repair and maintenance services by Telsa will be negatively affected? I mean, it's one thing to schedule an appointment when there are XX shops that can work on a brand where the local population is in the thousands (like BMW), but if there are many more cars with issues than there are shops to fix them...that sounds like a choke point to me, and one rather unique to Tesla in this regard.

Redis in Pub/Sub is quite lightweight in fact. It's just a TCP connection between your application and the Redis database. Once opened, you can get notifications almost for free.

#1 Android tablets are an interesting one. Do we think people are more active in terms of Google searches on Android tablets than on Android phones or desktop? I'd suggest they're less active (in searching terms) than on desktop. Than mobile - well, the received wisdom is that Android tablets are largely used for consuming video, particularly in Asia, which is where a lot of them are. It's an oversight on my part, I agree, but I'm not sure they make a big difference.

#2 Gartner revised its calculation for the PC base earlier this year - if you followed my linkblog you'd have seen the reference to its latest calculation [1] which puts the number at 1.48bn in 2015, falling constantly towards 1.38bn in 2019. That might get revised, of course, but the 2015 figure is probably accurate.

But when I do search it seems my first 5 links are not good, unless I searched with something with an obvious answer.

Even at this stage, it's more immersive and convincing, regardless of whether you can walk around or not.

Outside of changing positions, people tend not to 'walk around in a ring examining their partner' during the real thing either. As with a video, it's position-transition-position-transition, etc.

How rational is it to bet on Tesla continuing to dominate the electric car market once the electric car market becomes mainstream? There are much, much bigger players waiting on the sidelines for market conditions to change.
Sure, oversubscription is not a technical hurdle; it's a practical consequence that supercomputers have to run at close to 100% utilization to justify their expenditure. If you can wangle a higher priority so your jobs run faster, but that just means somebody else has to suffer.

As for the 64 core threshold, I'm referring to the publications for MPI phylogenetic codes (I'm inferring this is what they ran, as I can't find their experimental details) because supercomputer groups don't normally let people run embarrassingly parallel codes on fast interconnect boxes).

Phylogenetic tree generation doesn't need a fast interconnect - the best methods use coarse-grained parallelism, meaning you can trivially scale the tree evaluation.

Utter nonsense. It is the lack of belief in something without evidence. You don't believe I have a full grown elephant in my pants pocket because it is a dubious claim with no evidence. That doesn't make it a belief - it's a lack of belief. It's a rational stand that you would revise instantly if I were to pull an elephant out of my pocket. That's entirely different from believing/asserting something to be true in the absence of evidence.

They are not hard to spot. Watch the media entrances of events, where the on-location vans drive through. Look for where traffic is routed through a single lane. Inevitably they will route traffic past an unmarked van. Or, look for an unmarked van trolling any parking lots within any security cordon.

Because federal law stipulates that you must be compensated for work done. No salary or wage? No work done.

libgcrypt (GPG) does the same thing OpenSSL did. It uses /dev/random to seed an internal PRNG. But you can switch to using just the system PRNG:

gcry_control(GCRYCTL_SET_PREFERRED_RNG_TYPE, GCRY_RNG_TYPE_SYSTEM);

I don't know if they would be convinced to use /dev/urandom though. They already rank /dev/random as having lower "security" than their own PRNG.
The first thought that came into mind when reading the article was: "We write bad code, the language is to blame". If all your variables are named "i", than yes, you have issues.

Tenty-one, tenty-two, ect? No. It sounds two much like twenty-one, twenty-two, and so on.

Replacing the tens with "onty" words makes sense because "on" is closer "one". There's no translation step needed in thinking "Onty-eight minus Onty-two" and coming out with six.

It would be a simple solution to the tens problem but hard with respect to getting people to adopt it.
