First off, you may not want to repair your own car but the practice is pretty widespread, at least with simpler repairs. That's why the US has four nationwide auto parts store chains plus some big box stores like Wal-Mart that carry parts.

Second, this is not just about shade tree mechanics. This type of vertical integration means you have a sole source for parts and work if you buy a Tesla. Tesla can thus charge as much as their customers will bear without driving them to buy someone else's car. They have no incentive to pass supply chain or servicing efficiencies on to their customers. It's an arrangement the other car companies only dream of, which is why they keep trying to throw roadblocks in the way of third-party mechanics and parts manufacturers.

Do you know this for a fact, because it's a calumny often repeated but never supported by evidence.
Just a worthwhile note: guerilla warfare is not, by far, the only option. There are all sorts of techniques available to overthrow dictators and other occupiers.

A good example of this in real life is what Denmark ended up doing when occupied by the Nazis - non-compliance, plain refusal to cooperate with the Final Solution, and eventually even convincing the Nazis who were based in Denmark to sabotage their own country's plans.

And I also recommend the book "From Dictatorship to Democracy" by Gene Sharp which outlines many principles and techniques for non-violent resistance.
It seems that the magnitude of monitored attacks is increased, not necessarily the original size. From the last paragraph:

> You might think that as CloudFlare grows, the relative scale of attacks will shrink in comparison to legitimate traffic. The funny thing is, the opposite is true. Every time we upgrade our network capacity, we see larger attacks because we don’t have to resort to blackholing. With more capacity, we’re able to withstand and accurately measure even bigger attacks.
Is there such a thing as an entirely passive online ad? Any clickable ad at least knows which site you were on when you clicked; TV advertisers don't know what I was watching when I saw their ad.

That aside, the crucial difference is still this:

TV ads cannot be removed. If they could be, they would be.

Since online ads can be removed, and since doing so provides an enhanced user experience, and since (passive or not) online advertising facilitates the gross pollution of the internet by financing endless numbers of splog, malware and other content-free junk sites, that nobody would ever pay for directly, why not block them?
Europe is not the largest economey in the World at all, indeed how do you define rich when you look at debt you will see many EU countries actualy have the largest debt inthe World, that is not rich!

Real issue is how the World handles asylum as the current system was designed for small volumes of people, groups, individuals and not as we have seen, whole countries.

You could euqaly ask why many Middle Eastern countries who have far less debt and far more wealth seem to not wish any refugees of the same religion into there country and yet they are happy to spend it on luxury items.

So please do look at the true financial state of a country and include debt next time before you make such wide dispersions.

Equaly the whole aslyum system needs a overhall, nobody wants to see people suffer, let alone millions who happily give money to criminals to enter a country illegaly after a long and dangerous journey and the whole applicaiton for asyum should be mroe refined in that aspect.

Indeed the UK has and does take refugee's, not those who break into Europe who happily paid criminals but those at refugee camps, those unable or unwilling to pay people smugglers to make such journeys, those disabled who are unable to travel of there own accord.

THose are what I class as refugee's and they are the ones in need of help more than all the others and yet they get ignored by the media and rhetoric of others from all sides, that is not right. After all akin to having lots of greedy people queue jump you and take all the places after you followed all the rules to get a place. So with that the whole system is unfair on all sides and does need improving.

One could say with this volume and hindsight could of built a new country and towns in area's more suited culturaly and geopgraphicly.

Equally also worth remembering that by absorbing these people en-mass then erosion of culture and loss of that will happen, on many levels and that is a loss.

10k gallons costs you $18,000 or less right now "while gas is cheap" - for a TCO of $20,000 in 20 years (plus cheap-ish repairs) - and you are driving a Merc.

The model 3 (once you can actually get hold of it) will cost you $35,000 up front, plus about $7,000 in electricity for 200k miles at prices of 13-15c/kWh, plus about two battery replacements - battery lifetime is 8 years or 125k miles - at $10,000ish a pop - for a TCO of $62,000 plus repairs.

In most cases the website has little to no direct control of the ad content. The evaluation would need to extend to the ad networks, as well.
Now imagine Apple got rid of independent repair shops (they are already heading in this direction pretty much). There would be outrage, and there's already unease with Apple's direction in these areas. Why does Tesla get a pass?
Thanks! Yeah, technically the single is either a value, or no data at all - I can see why it could be seen as two values.
I'm not sure why you are being downvoted because this is a very legitimate question. Fortunately it's not hard to see that email, and Tomlinson's contributions, were incredibly novel and have shaped a lot of "good parts" of the internet today.

Although obviously email was conceptually based on a very old notion of communication, embodied, as you point out, by many media that came before it, it had to solve a few small, specific problems inherent in moving messages from one system to another via a simple network protocol.

The use of the "user@domain" notion of identity seems mundane today, but in some important ways it was a huge breakthrough in the way that people thought about humans and the systems that need to work in order for them to be contacted.
If you go outside with a measuring tape and a stopwatch you'll discover there's an unlimited number of measurements you can make. So that can't be how scientists operate. They are guided by prior theories.

>[science] doesn't pull explanations from the air

Well, people think about problems and then ideas sometimes pop into their heads. No one understands how yet. So explanations do come out of the air, metaphorically speaking! That doesn't make them false. It's what happens afterwards that counts. Most ideas are rejected by criticism and a few go on to be tested.
These things are quite fun, but don't be tempted to use them as placeholder text for anything a client or a user will see. They won't understand the point - lorem is clearly just a placeholder, anything vaguely English isn't.
You might not care about fixing your own vehicle, but you probably care about the cost of those repairs. If Tesla is the only company that can repair your car, they can easily charge many times the cost of the repairs. If Tesla is the only place that can repair your vehicle, you're left with two options: pay whatever Tesla demands to fix the vehicle or replace it with a new car. That's a very bad situation to be in because there's no control on the pricing.

Even if you say, "well, I could sell the Tesla rather than repair it," how many people are going to want to buy a broken Tesla? How do you explain to them, "It's totally mendable, I just haven't done that because. . ."? You'd basically have to tell them that they're buying a car that Tesla charges extortion fees to repair.

Even if you never want to repair your own car, even if you never want to go to a third party for repairs, you benefit greatly if you aren't single-sourced for repairs. Even if you will never take advantage of it, some other people will and, as such, Tesla would have to be competitive on price.

> that's 10,000 gallons of fuel for 200k miles or ~30,000$ while gas is cheap

Highly dependent on where you live. Here in Texas it was $30,000 when gas was expensive; it would be $17,000 at current prices.

I'm not going to say advertising harms society in and of itself but too much of anything is harmful. Unchecked, advertising serves to create an insatiable consumerism where enough is never enough and a general feeling of discontent in the target audience.

Tesla is basically selling a "CAAS" (Car As A Service). More and more (Tech) companies try to lock down their products and protect the customer from himself. It's a worrying pattern. How can that be the ideal system?

Great point. I have watched hundreds (not exaggerating). Sobering.

New in general is much better than old. But, it gets complicated.

The strength of the cage the passengers are in hasn't improved much, what has is how they behave in very specific crash tests. Go outside of that (go off a bank and roll down the hill over and over) and you'll find an old GL750 Volvo or '79 W116 merc will still have kept it's integrity in the passenger compartment (the doors will probably still open) where most modern cars would be crushed, passengers included.

Basically the bottom line is if you're going to buy an older car, get one that is still considered safe today. That leaves you with all mercs, volvos, most BMWs and Saabs from the post-airbag era. And get ABS - avoid the accident in the first place.
Not if they agreed to be part of a study. Otherwise, no one could use a placebo.

One of the things that makes a car valuable is having a healthy aftermarket. It looks like, from this article anyway, Tesla is doing anything they can to make sure there is no aftermarket for their vehicles.

To me, a car that you can't service yourself is worthless. A car that needs the manufacturer's permission to activate is not your car--it's owned by the manufacturer. And, when the manufacturer places a threatening call to the "owner" after he tries to get diagnostic information from his own car [1], well that's so far beyond crossing the line it's not even funny.

I think we're going to start seeing "jailbroken" Teslas soon after they start falling out of their warranty period. I'm surprised it hasn't happened already. You'd think that out of the thousands of people who have already bought one of these cars, there might be one out there with both the skills and desire to actually own what they paid for.

> I was inspired by the size of Lua's VM, but deterred by its obscurity (and lack of inline documentation), so my original goal was to create a very clean and minimal VM.

Me too, so I created Wren:

https://github.com/munificent/wren

It's about the same size as Lua, significantly faster, and much more thoroughly documented. I also like the language itself more — it's object model is more familiar to someone coming from Java/C++/C#/etc. — but that's personal preference.

... heh and then I scroll down and see two people have already mentioned Wren. I guess I'm doing a good job of branding it as the "better documented Lua". :)
I understand what you saying but its too strict. Say the things you want to compute simultaneously involve IO. For example your application has a window that displays a log by watching for writes to the end of a log file (like tail). This is easy and reasonable to do in a thread.
As part of a study? No. This is how studies are done. Give one set of people the real medicine and another people the fake one and see what happens. They are told before hand that they could receive the fake medicine/treatment and they must agree to the study.
You don't get that time back.

The whole tone of this article tries to pin Russia in a bad light. (especially the opening).. As much as many people may disagree- what if /this/ is the propoganda?

it's very easy to say "Don't trust him, he's a liar"- but if the two that are saying not to trust each other are historically feuding, then perhaps you should believe neither and check facts while attempting to avoid biased sources.

I dislike nearly all ads and want the ability to block any ads I dislike.

But the fundamental question is: without advertising, how do you learn about products you might want to buy? Ad-funded search is not a good answer, and in the limit, proprietary search result ordering would be just another type of advertising.

Word of mouth is slow and unreliable, especially if you are looking for unusual things or if your preferences are often unusual compared with the people you ask for reviews.

The only thing I dislike more than ads is social media, so that's not an option.

When I personally bear a higher cost conducting a product search to fit my needs than the costs of viewing ads, then ads are better and they do add value.

This is not a heroic defense of the abject shit ads that litter the internet, the rampant malware or tracking, the creepy attempts at unnecessarily specific personalization, or content creators selling out.

But it's also not reasonable to say the Platonic idea of an ad is intrinsically unethical or intrinsically cost-ineffective.

Interesting, but Tesla is both just getting started and "feeling the space" in the auto industry. They have taken pride in taking a different approach to traditional car companies and I imagine some of the wording around the Extended Warranty is simply being new and not copy-pasting examples from other companies.

Also, Tesla isn't making cars for everyone (yet) but instead focusing on expensive/luxury cars. Rather than compare against GM/Honda/etc. How do they compare against Maserati/Aston Martin/etc.?

Finally, as a young company, it may indeed be their _goal_ to build cars that last forever, but the first few generations they are still pushing the envelope of (their) understanding. In this case, bringing ell cars back to their repair centers may be the "right" way to build this experience into their future automobiles.

So... "yeah, they aren't making cars that will last more than N years unless you, as an owner, are prepared to sink a bunch of cash into achieving this" It may be more interesting to watch the auto that replaces the Model S. Both in terms of their timeframe for introducing new models (beyond expanding into different classes of vehicles) as well as how they adopt what they learn into more fundamental design changes. Thank you to all those cutting edge people willing to buy Teslas now. I'll wait 5-10 years till they get mainstream and keep my Honda and Toyota on the road for 250k miles :-)
Great article, very forward looking and constructive criticism. Tesla is a young company with Silicon Valley ethos, it does not surprise me, they are treating Cars like Software. Where you are licensed to use software but do not own it and how that world view may or may not work.

I am just wondering since Volt is from Old guard, its chances are better because the maintainability is a bit more traditional (but not all Volts can be repaired at any GM dealership). We may need a different model for EVs and PHEVs.

http://www.voltstats.net/Stats/Details/1579

Logically it may extend to other EVs and PHEVs like Model S, but here is a real world volt which crossed 300K miles (the driver has a long commute, its kind of real world validation of longevity of EVs/PHEVs)
It's not about the joy of auto repair. The vast majority of car owners cannot afford to repair their car. Even when parts are available. Having the technical documentation allows people to fix their cars. Tesla does not make the documentation available easily and parts, well, are pretty much as expensive as tesla wants them to be. Surely this is just a Tesla ownership issue. The problem is that Tesla will move to build lower priced models. Those cars will flood the used car market. People will buy them. What happens when they break down and can't afford it? People here might blame them for buying a car they can't service. True, but not realistic. People do not buy based on logic but on a combination of factors.

Mind you, since the service acts as a tracker in its own right, people wanting to avoid being tracked are unlikely to use it in the first place...

EthereumJ Release: 1.1.0 Pre Homestead Release
Well, the fun part about acupuncture is this that all the studies that 'disprove' acupuncture are disproving very specific things. Specifically, they show that 'traditional chinese acupencture' with the whole crap about chi and meridians and whatever are not significantly different from the control treatment.

The control treatment is typically use of acupuncture needles in areas not specifically specified by codified acupuncture standards (it is a thing... you can go to school for this stuff remember), or the use of sham needles, which still penetrate by like half a inch or something.

All most of the studies you will find that both arms (control and 'real' acupuncture) both show similar improvements in outcome. A valid (and I think the right one) conclusion to draw from these studies is that while the internal logic of acupuncture doesn't do anything, the mechanical action of poking needles into the body has non-trivial benefits.

If you can't get acupuncture covered by insurance, you can look into dry needling (its mechanically the same thing...). A quick google search tells me that some states will allow chiropractors and physiotherapists to perform dry needling and may fall under different insurance buckets.

edit: sorry, I forgot to add this in. obviously poking needles into muscles won't do anything for stuff that isn't rooted in muscles/other connective tissue. Won't do shit for your asthma or allergies for example...
