Maybe, but the other parts that are failing - like the door handles, the sunroof, the center console, etc - are at least as complicated or more compared to conventional cars, because Tesla decided to add a bunch of fancy features to them. What's more, owners have been complaining that Tesla won't sell replacement parts to independent repairers and that they have to drive their car to an official service center and leave it there - and because Tesla cut out the middleman and sold online rather than through a dealer network, that can be a very long way away.

JS does indeed suck on mobile; since it's single-threaded by design, all those blocking operations (you already mentioned some examples) add up. Hence where you get both issues you mentioned - those refreshes are only necessary because the single-threaded nature of JS causes a few dozen event handlers in your framework to fire on every change you make. It also doesn't help that most mobile devices aren't exactly pushing the envelope on single-threaded performance.

And let me be clear: JS being single-threaded isn't a bad thing in itself (the thought of a multi-threaded language in the browser gives me nightmares). It just makes the user experience of JS suck on mobile. And that's not going to change any time soon given the glacial pace of patch/update deployment on Android.

> It basically involved treating the browser as an OpenGL canvas, where certain combinations of CSS + HTML would render text and boxes into a texture and then other combinations would let you move textures around and fade them together in the window.

That approach -- while interesting from a technical standpoint -- kind of defeats the purpose of a browser :) I mean, you're basically building another browser inside the OpenGL window...
Isn't all x-ray exposure one sided based on the radiation source? Doesn't all radiation exposure start with the skin? X-ray penetrate so not all energy is deposited on the skin's surface.
World Statistics Day data visualization challenge – results
I've read that in high usage scenarios (busses, taxis) the reduced maintenance is already, along with reduced fuel costs, one of the things that makes electric vehicles financially viable, even with the higher up front costs
I don't know if this is possible, but I suspect it may be.

You may have stumbled onto a very dangerous idea... not one that could be used for good.
There are certainly scenarios where the cost delta between our hypothetical fully-autonomous vehicle and a taxi as we know it today is greater and where it is less.

I'd argue that in Manhattan, the distances are short enough and the utilization high enough that self-driving probably buys you very little over a taxi today. With the scenario you describe, the cost difference is probably greater. (On the other hand, if that's 50% of today's taxi costs, most people won't be using it to commute every day.)

Of course, there are still other cases where it's not feasible for most people to hire a driver today--say going away for the weekend because the driver costs start to dominate the vehicle rental costs. (And in that scenario, you just rent a car today if you don't own one.)

In any case, when such vehicles become available in however many years, they will probably reduce car ownership. But, as with Zipcar, I suspect the difference will be at the margins.
Become a bank and issue IPO's :)
Linux is one of the cases where the difference matters a lot, because /dev/random is blocking. I think it's BSD where the two devices are the same.

You could definitely do that, but then you might also need to:

- implement a mechanism to find and click active page elements, track the browser actions

- recompile PhantomJS to support POST requests

- implement a page queue with checks for duplicate URLs

- implement some parallelization and failover mechanism for case PhantomJS crashes (it does)

- possibly implement support for infinite scroll

- setup your own pool of proxy servers

- setup a database to store the results

and finally make the whole thing simple to setup and use :)

Bananas throw out beta radiation. It's not as penetrating as alpha - attenuation depth in water on the order of centimeters rather than millimeters? - but I think a banana-equivalent dose will be pretty solidly concentrated in your digestive tract.

> I'm not asking for professional diagnosis, just a quick BigData/Image analysis

There is a reason these kind of analyses are still done by humans, even with extremely high resolution images, with the proper contrast. Big Data is not a solution to every analysis problem.

> i mean you can see the guy's balls even on that downscaled image

And if he had testicular cancer, it would be a tiny speck on those balls. Also, compare the humans you see in that image to a picture of a simple chest X-ray. Notice how you can see barely any internal structure? This image can diagnosis that they all have two lungs, but not much else.
This too is changing. Especially in Baltimore, the political apparatus has realized that without intervention and harsh oversight, the population will riot and destroy the city. Thus, the officers involved in the Freddie Gray incident were indicted, and may go to jail.

I wish it hadn't taken a riot in Baltimore, but it's probable that there will be more riots before we get the kind of oversight that is needed.

Interesting; I just went there (http://www.teslamotors.com/models) and it looks as though the AWD actually increases range. I would have thought that it would require more energy. Two separate motors, one for front and one for rear; I guess their engineers found a way to divide the work pretty equally, versus one larger motor on just the front axle.
Awesome research tool. Did you build chrome extension?
You are a bit confused. The == operator specifically does implicit type conversion. You want to use === to avoid implicit coercion. And you always have the option to explicitly coerce type, as I explain below.

Javascript's type coercion leads to some wacky things like

> [] == []

> false

But it's actually all perfectly consistent once you understand what the compiler is doing with type (and JavaScript is compiled, not interpreted). == is an operator that will always try to coerce its operands to numbers, but the way it gets there can be circuitous.

You can specify type in JavaScript and avoid implicit coercion, you can use type constructors (generally worse) or certain unary operators. Ex:

> var foo = "12"

> var bar = +foo - 5; //+ explicitly converts foo to a number
Funnily enough, this comes back to "ride sharing" which Uber etc. supposedly were in the first place. I'm skeptical that this would become a thing--or at least mainstream. But I suspect that we're talking enough years out that so many things will be different that predictions are tough.
You're presumably thinking alpha particles if you're thinking of radiation which is stopped by, and therefore concentrates measured exposure at, your skin. I rather strongly doubt this machine uses alpha particles. Considerations which make me doubt this: they would get blocked by insulating materials such as e.g. the side of the surveillance van, the side of your vehicle, 3 cm of open air, etc.
"I don't consent to any form of non-necessary irradiation, regardless of the quantity."

Standing in front of the US capitol building for about an hour is also about 0.1 uSv. Granite is quite radioactive, you know. Some kitchen countertops are much worse.

0.1 uSv is also the generally accepted as the "banana equivalent dose". Bananas are a decent source of potassium, which aside from being an essential element is also somewhat radioactive.

There is no fixed accepted dose rate for flying. More than a couple and less than a dozen uSv/hr is about as accurate as you're gonna get. Depends on flight path and altitude and who knows what all else. The claim that its a couple minutes of flight is not all that far from the truth, more or less.

People who don't really understand what they're afraid of can't rationally minimize risks anyway. Perhaps the granite in a kitchen countertop or architectural decorative feature would increase cancer death rate by 0.0001% but cancer due to chemical catalyst contamination in a replacement laminate countertop MIGHT be ten times the cancer death rate of radioactive granite. Or maybe not.

Assuming they're telling the truth about the dose, I wouldn't worry about the radiation dose. Its small enough to be measured but biologically irrelevant.

What is highly suspicious is a police state violating constitutional amendments probably isn't very concerned with citizen health and probably feels no need to tell the truth. I could see some PR guy claiming its only 1 banana-equivalent-dose or an hour sitting at a granite countertop or whatever because he knows its irrelevant, even if the actual dose is so high that passersby hair is falling out and they're getting radiation burns because its an enormously higher dose. I mean, the government would never lie to us, would they?

Ionizing radiation is a broad category that includes portions of the EM spectrum. EM radiation is ionizing if it has enough energy to remove at least one electron from an atom, this includes the upper bits of UV and above. There are things other than EM that are things that are ionizing radiation too like subatomic particles.

Geiger counters can also detect XRays more or less effectively depending on their design.

> Ionizing radiation is any type of particle or electromagnetic wave that carries enough energy to ionize or remove electrons from an atom. There are two types of electromagnetic waves that can ionize atoms: X-rays and gamma-rays, and sometimes they have the same energy.

Well, be huge, or be smaller and maintain huge margins. That's also an avenue.
Except there’s a major problem with that utopian
view. The vision totally underestimates the true value
humans bring to the car market or the degree to
which Uber’s “urban saturation” depends on a
dedicated human element to absorb the bulk of the
capital cost and risk of public vehicle ownership, with
very little personal reward.

Self-driving taxis won't compete with privately-owned cars. They will compete with buses.

There will be a strong case for municipal transit authorities to invest in them instead of buses, light rail, and other services that cost more and do a worse job of taking people where they want to go.
It's not a choice of this versus that. In CoffeeScript you don't write spaces instead {} - you write neither. You express this with indentation anyway so why the extra boilerplate? CoffeeScript removes a lot of the excess work while TypeScript actually does the opposite.
One other thing.. Look at all there demo videos, and pictures. The size of the amp they are using to produce this volume of sound is pretty insane.

2. I wonder what kind of EM those amps are putting out.
Because rendering on the GPU isn't a panacea. On mobile platforms, it can have negative implications on battery life and performance, and given the sequential-dependent nature of CSS rendering, I'm not sure you'd even get the benefit of parallelization.

In many cases, you'd end up waiting for the main thread most of the time anyway (which you'd probably also get if you just spawned a few threads on another CPU core). It also adds a hell of a lot of complexity since SOCs have varying levels of capability in their GPUs, which your code now needs to identify, integrate and test against.

I'm not claiming there's no benefit, but there's a reason they don't just GPU all the things.

Oddly, I was just thinking the other day about how Tesla had a reputation for being a bit prototype-y but I hadn't heard anything about it recently, so I concluded they'd massively improved.

Based on this they're better, but still not great.

Was it not Consumer Reports that had a string of issues with their first model S, or was that another car magazine?
Why would this be any more dangerous than any number of other triggers?
> how does this bode for the often stalled release of the Model X?

I would wait for version 5 to come out when they work out all the kinks.

They'll sell like hotcakes cause CUV is a thing. They were very smart to make their 3rd car a CUV.
Hi - Hyperscan lead architect here. Performance numbers will follow but we do need to be careful about sweeping claims. With the variety of regular expression workloads making a blanket claim about performance is like saying "my C compiler always produces code that's 25% faster than yours".

That being said, we don't pay that much performance cost for generality relative to non streaming, single pattern engines in terms of performance. Mainly the cost is complexity of our solution and pattern support.
Thanks for this. Good to know.
On the other hand, for other purposes, German is a far more regular and logical language than English. Generally, complicated nouns and verbs are composed of simpler nouns and verbs. Quite often, the German word for a thing is a pretty bald description of what it is, whereas the English word often is some sort of one-off, where it is not a loan-word stolen from some other language:

Panzerkampfwagen = Armored battle wagon

Tank = (British code word that stuck for some reason)

or

Schreibtisch = writing table

Desk = ?

I actually think NY is a pretty compelling case for driverless. A large number of people go from hubs into the city, travel around the city, and then leave the city.

Also there's an issue with balancing taxi load in the outer boroughs vs midtown / downtown manhattan. There's a reason uber has been so successful even in NY at increasing the total number of passenger trips and not just stealing customers away from traditional taxis.

I hear you, but it's important to note that it appears that Mercedes (a storied German luxury car with proven technology) currently has an even a lower reliability rating. That makes me think it's likely more than just company age and experience, I think there is something about a company's risk tolerance and how it relates to their eagerness to implement new tech. As the article states, the blander "appliance-like" cars might just be the most reliable.

And while I totally agree that owner bias is impacting the customer sat numbers, I think there's also a bit of a lift coming from Tesla's customer service, which gets pretty high marks. One of the smartest things they've done as a company is to invest heavily in service and responsiveness. A reliability issue sucks, but much less so if it can be resolved pleasantly and quickly.

Yes, it's starting to look as though the cars are merely a shell for the very profitable batteries they're going to be cranking out in Nevada. Perhaps the whole Tesla car idea was a buyout play -- get established, build a name, then sell the whole thing to GM for $30 billion.

Once the battery plant has economies of scale, they'll be fueling a whole new generation of electric vehicles by other makers, perhaps including the upcoming Apple and Google auto-pilot offerings (the Nexus car? the iCar?).

Then there is the home and small office market for backup power, storage of daytime solar energy, off-grid and remote locations e.g. ranger stations in national parks. It'll be interesting to see how this shakes out.
I think they are doing the right thing and exerting a lot of effort and eating a lot of cost to make right for their customers. Which makes me feel better about the ownership experience but nervous about the company's path to profit.
Thanks for the heads up. Fixed!

I don't think you can expect to use typescript without really understanding javascript. Not to say you shouldn't learn typescript first. But by the time you're fluent in typescript, you basically know javascript also.
When it comes to batteries, Tesla are more of an integrator than a manufacturer - they package up commercially available, off-the-shelf cells into batteries with some cooling and a mostly off-the-shelf battery management solution (based around a Texas Instruments IC marketed specifically for battery management in electric cars, the BQ76PL536A). That's not a high-margin business to be in because there's not much of a barrier to entry for new competitors.

Here's how Wikipedia describes a police state:

>The inhabitants of a police state may experience restrictions on their mobility, or on their freedom to express or communicate political or other views, which are subject to police monitoring or enforcement. Political control may be exerted by means of a secret police force which operates outside the boundaries normally imposed by a constitutional state.

~100% of American communications are monitored by the government. We have secret courts that authorize the killing of American citizens. We have National Security Letters, requiring people to do exactly as they're told and not allowing them to tell anyone (in some cases even their lawyer) they've been served with one. Government agencies operate outside the bounds of the constitution on a routine and mass basis (NSA's phone spying program was found to be illegal/unconstitutional) with zero repercussions to government employees and agents who violated the law.

It also defines this:

>An electronic police state is one in which the government aggressively uses electronic technologies to record, organize, search, and distribute forensic evidence against its citizens

America is the poster child of an electronic police state. We do it more than any other country on a scale larger than any country in history. Americans are more monitored than any large group of people in the history of the world.
So, bottom line is, if the charging part doesn't work out it can still be used as an expensive steerable space heater / killing device?
