In my understanding, cold should be killing the batteries.

Well, depends on what you mean by that. If you're talking about long-term longevity, cold actually helps: lithium-ion cell capacities generally degrade more slowly in cold temperatures.

I own a Model S as my only car, and it's worked great for me in winter. Cold temperatures definitely impact range (although this is more due to the extra power requirements of heating the car than anything to do with the batteries themselves). I've experienced maybe a 15% range loss in winter, or maybe as much as 35% in really cold temperatures well below freezing. Shorter trips lose more efficiency because the car doesn't have time to warm up, but then shorter trips usually don't need as much range ;).

When the car gets 260+ miles of range on a charge in summer, then even losing 35% still leaves plenty of range for any situations I've found myself in during ~2 years of ownership.
Not in my experience. Which spans 30 years.

That's what I thought they meant, too, but it is not. From the research article (http://www.pnas.org/content/106/26/10587.full):

"The means display somewhat more variation, as shown in Fig. 2. Danish has the slowest response time on average (+469 ms) and Japanese has the fastest (+7 ms). The mean response offset for the full dataset is +208 ms, and the language-specific means fall within ≈250 ms either side of this cross-language mean, approximately the length of time it takes to produce a single English syllable (37)."

The point, I think, is that these means are close compared to the tails: http://www.pnas.org/content/106/26/10587/F1.large.jpg
Up until very recently, ch and ll were proper spanish letters, so when looking up on the dictionary, you would find chancla in a separate chapter, after cordón (ch would come after c in the alphabet). Same with llama and loro (ll being after l). They nowadays maintain their own phoneme but have been demoted to irregular pronunciation, from letter without proper symbol.

I mean. If you can't substantiate that claim with anything more than "think about it," I'm not sure how to answer.

I get that "space spaces" and "personal space" both have the word "space" in it. But if we're discussing scientific studies, it's not constructive to compare the two. Unless you have something really substantial (and accurate) that adds to the conversation, I think it's time better spent to discuss the article at hand.

I personally think it's a fascinating insight into how humans interpret physical space and the implications in social situations.
It's 'useful' in countering an image that people who only read Lander's paper might come away with, and useful in drawing attention to the problem he (Mike) perceives.

Whether any of this is useful in a broader sense is unclear, but we are almost certainly seeing the most important story in history of biology for this generation unfolding before us.
Greetings, everyone. Not so long ago we presented our project on Hacker News.
On that day we had over 20 000 visits, which led to some problems connected with server overload. We have fixed all the problems and we are ready to present our project again.

About the project:

http://test4startup.com/ has been created in collaboration with a Math department professor from a state technological university, whose experience in artificial intelligence development has served as the basis for the algorithm that assesses if an idea is promising enough.

How the algorithm works

1. First of all, with the help of our algorithm we create the core of your idea and build up a pool of key words which helps us to define the market and to find the vector for further development.

2. The second step is defining trends with the help of news signals and other indicators which help us to capture the general picture of your market and find possible competitors.

3. At the third step of the algorithm we compare the information about your project with the data which we have received at the second step and make a list of recommendations for you. For example, if your price is too high, the algorithm will tell you how much it needs to be lowered to challenge the competitors.

15$ fee is purely symbolic. It will help us to see the demand for our product and continue working on improving the algorithm.

Hopefully our project will help you make your ideas work.
Good luck!
He mentions that very clearly in the article, and also makes it clear what he stands (and does not stand) to gain financially from Lander's article being discredited.

It's a very provocative title, but the policy recommendation in the article—that we stop issuing Nobel prizes and patents to individuals when discoveries happened over a long process—is pretty fair. And he does credit Lander for acknowledging all the scientists that predated both of their universities' work.
Don't forget that in the US (and UK, possibly) many of these cars are leased as part of senior employees' compensation packages.
Hey, I used to work with their CTO! Hopefully he'll respond himself, but in case he doesn't:

> (384-bit prime) - Why not just use X448 since that's now an Internet Standard?

I believe they started working before X448 was standardized.

> It also uses Fortuna for IVs, etc. instead of directly /dev/urandom (or window.crypto in JS land). Userspace CSPRNGs are a devastatingly stupid idea.

IE doesn't have great support for window.crypto. If you're building an enterprise product, you probably care about this.

> FUD. Where you host the data shouldn't matter, because the server should never be given access to your plaintext.

I believe their point here was that most cloud services today DO have access to your plaintext. It's not FUD if it's true =).

I know I'm a bit biased, but these guys are pretty smart, and I'd trust them.
Title: Another big fund has lost faith in Dropbox and cut its valuation by half
This seems to be a spectacular Rorschach test.
I've found that I remember authors and titles of books far less well when reading ebooks. My guess is it's because I don't see the book's cover lying around the house even when I'm not actively reading it as I do with a real book, and because it always starts right where I left off, so I don't see the cover when I pick it up to start reading. Plus no author/title page headers.
> Have we established that doctors in the US have to deal with more documentation than doctors in other industrialized healthcare systems?

Yes. The authors cite data showing that physicians in Canada spend far less time on administration than do U.S. doctors, http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2014-10/pfan-pco10231... Administrative work consumes one-sixth of U.S. physicians' working hours Note, this is non patient related Administrative work.

Now what? IMO, the simplest solution is for doctors to bill based on administrative requirements.
I love the message that you can understand and do work in this space late in life. Props for that.

But I find his valorization of war really disturbing given his role deceiving the public into increased warfare. The way he writes about this game makes it seem like he has a fetish for callous, take-no-prisoners violence. I think it's an outdated mindset and it disturbs me to think about the human bodies that were burnt to a crisp under Rumsfeld's direction. So many people lost their lives and will lose their lives because of his war perversion.
There is a huge difference. On the internet, by default, you are international. Brick and mortar stores, by default, are only local.

We have a website that sells stuff. It is "not available" in Europe. We do not ship to Europe. We block email addresses with European domains and let them know we're not available. We attempt to block Europe ip addresses by geolocating and let them know we're not available in Europe. Yet people from Europe still slip in. We go through several steps to let them know we cannot handle their business, but they still get through.

Are we liable? Speaking generally, laws do not necessarily care about any mitigations we take. We could still be fined millions of dollars (more than our revenue) in certain countries despite doing our best to block them.

Sorry, but it's completely ridiculous.
As someone who has only recently (finally) become disillusioned by OO (especially in larger codebases and/or on programming teams, which both seem to rapidly escalate tech debt and complexity thanks to things like mutability, class reopening and stowing-state-everywhere)... I'm so sorry, man. The difference (which is significant) unfortunately seems to require years of real-world experience with both to see it.

I've been pointing OO people to these thoughts by John Carmack, who is pretty well-respected in the C++ OO community: http://gamasutra.com/view/news/169296/Indepth_Functional_pro...

This article is about the future of reading, not how you all feel now. It's obviously very difficult to disassociate our own feelings for a print book from that of future readers. Can you delineate between what is subjective affection and what is objective? Probably not. For now, print is the superior medium. But in 20 years? Really?

The truth is, ebooks are the future of reading. Eventually they will replace all (well, 99%) of all purchasing habits. Not for us, but for millennials, certainly.

There is very little downside to eBooks for either the reader or the publisher. For the publisher, the same costs still apply as developing a full book. It's circa 15% cheaper because the only thing you miss is printing and distribution - often the cheapest part of the publishing process.

For the reader, we're talking about "remembering where something is" or similar. That can be solved by a better implementation by the e-reader. Battery life will be solved in the near (years, not months) future. Why can't they be "foldable" in the future? Nothing I've read so far is achievable from eBooks with the correct implementation. The advantages of print will be worn down to a point where there is no advantage other than nostalgia in pursuing print.
> "It’s the minimum human response time to anything...It’s the time that runners take to respond to a starting pistol—and that's just a simple signal"

i.e. the gap is typically exactly as long as it takes for us to react to the "simple signal" that the other person has stopped speaking and now it is our turn.

It does prove that we must be planning our response before the other person has finished speaking, but I wonder if that's such a surprising thing to prove: words and sentences take a lot longer to say out loud than they do to comprehend.
Growing Organs on a Chip
Separating out the first two questions:

1) I have a lot of paper laying around (especially if you include a file cabinet or two).

2) I would want almost none of it scanned. 1% or so.

3) Neither 1 nor 2 is "the problem" imho. I think the problem is more in the identification of what action is appropriate for each piece of paper (1% scanning, and you could make a histogram of percentages of other actions... trash, shred, burn, give to person x, take preventative action to stem flow of further documents from same source, follow up on y, make into t-shirt, frame, etc. etc.). The point is that scanning is only a small sliver of any solution to the actual (imho) problem of dealing with paper.

For just the scanning part, Doxie already exists and looks decent and reasonably priced for those who prioritize scanning. Which isn't me... I would pay maybe $15, one-time, for a device. Haven't tried Doxie, because see #2.

There is still a requirement for highly structured data entry that is unavoidable. Even if you reduced the other documentation requirements, the "computerized physician order entry" systems (healthcare lingo) still require quite a lot of provider time. You need to be very explicit when entering things like chemotherapy regimens.
As a student, they are invaluable for textbooks. I hate lugging them around to the classes that might need them, or to collaborate with others. I throw many of my textbooks onto my old iPad, and I see many people on my campus with some sort of tablet (surfaces seem to be gaining in popularity) and some sort of relevant text on them.
I also experience this on my phone (Oneplus X), on both Chrome and Firefox. Opening it on my laptop displays them fine, but if I narrow the window to half the screen, the responsive flow makes them huge again.

I think it's more apparent if you have to move and you're forced to pack everything into boxes. If you've stayed at one place for long enough, there'll be enough "trinkets" accumulated such as plates, mugs, spoons, forks, knives, mugs, wine glasses, lunch boxes, peeler, graters, freezer bags, candles, lighters, etc. etc. It's the things that are in the cabinets and drawers that we frequently unaccount for.

I'm looking forward to a review of the major systems available by someone who has a clue (i.e. not me). The investment to learn one of these is great enough that it will be worth some time invested to understand what each can do.
I assume they all collude with spy agencies. Qwest's CEO learned the hard way what happens when you don't break the law when they order you to.
That's the nature of corruption. They write laws that you have to break to survive and as long as a government official likes you you get to keep breaking that law. When you don't obey orders they enforce the laws only on you to make it hard to compete or so that you lose your freedom.

A 'footnote' at the bottom of the page doesn't work when there's no bottom of a page. Our books normally have endnotes, which can be linked to a numbered callout (I've even written a little QA script to make sure all the notes are correctly linked). With traditional footnotes that have a separate number sequence for each page, that has to be resequenced and it is a chore. Some publishers are lazy about that stuff. (We have authors who insist on having both footnotes and endnotes, and I curse them).
Hiring someone because they remind you of your friends/family/ethnic group is exactly what I'm talking about.

This all just boils down to the general question of how you feel about the relationship between taxation and personal freedom, and the trade off between them.

Do you value the ability to personally decide where your money can do the most good, or would you rather delegate that responsibility to a powerful centralized authority?

Of course, many people (including some commenting here, apparently), are willing to cede important decisions about how to spend money to the government, because they are more afraid of their fellow citizens making poor decisions about how to spend or give away their money.

(Personally, it also reminds me that, despite the idiocy of the current Republican party, I still identify as "conservative" or maybe libertarian. I have personal beliefs and reasons for how I chose to give away my money, which I know are not necessarily shared by the majority. So I'm a bit taken aback at how cavalierly some are willing to cede those priorities to a central government.)

Create Time: Free Time Management Workbook for Creatives
Agreed - I did say JSX aside :-) JSX is coupled so tightly with React, and such a large part of React's offering, that learning React without JSX is probably actually going to slow down learning for the opposite reasons.

In general, ES6 is a prerequisite for developing anything in JS for any developer/project with a forward-looking mentality in 2016 - but I do have to disagree that knowing ES6 is essential for learning React. They're actually completely orthogonal at this point - it allows for cleaner code but doesn't buy you anything at all in terms of learning the React concepts.

As for getting started on the Babel toolchain - again it's orthogonal to learning React. The in-browser JSX transpiler is available. You can start learning react in a single page of html with script tags, just pulling all the libraries off cdns. There's just no need to have a tool chain at all, it is not essential.

I think it comes down to the definition of beginner. If you're taking a very experienced JS developer and starting them on a real world React project, by all means go in at the deep end - they'll likely know most of the toolchain anyway and they'll need it. If you're talking about just giving someone an intro to React and its concepts, you have to separate the core from the ecosystem.

My point was that we should recognise the difference, this is a common problem where experienced users tell beginners to 'just use' things that take months to become accustomed to in a few throwaway sentences, because to them it is just that easy. To a real beginner it represents a massive ramp, and that's not what you want when just trying to get an intro to a specific library.
It's worse than 15 years behind -- it is a step backwards. In ye olden days, they recorded notes on a $50 voice recorder, and had a transcriptionist transcribe notes into a written form that went into records.

Now, to make data more standardized, it's a wall of clicks and checkboxes, which require domain expertise. So doctors canned the transcriptionists, replaced them with enterprise IT and hire PAs and NPs to try to bridge the gap.

I shake my head every time I go to my doctor. He's a brilliant guy and really good physician, but easily 50% of his time is dedicated to click-monkey bullshit.

It should be noted that the project CIMG/GMIC is _not_ built and billed as an IM alternative. It's an image processing framework that happens to have similar utility to IM for some folks and that is also available as a plug-in to GIMP for visual+interactive use.

The negativity is disappointing. Anyone who shows interest in development, even those that don't code, should be encouraged as we wish to be encouraged. When we see products launched here on HN they are sometimes developed by other people than the heads of those companies. Do you attack them as well? A familiar one would be Digg. If someone had an idea for an autism app but not the skill and paid for its development would you be negative about it as well?
