Every patent claim is questionable. Validity and enforceability are at issue in essentially every single patent case.
Totally agree the comparison isn't equal. But what I'm saying is that the 9-month salary is already way higher than an industry salary. If they worked the 3 summer months funded by a grant, it's like getting a 33% bonus on top of their 9-month salary.

It's because so many posts on HN are cookie cutter - usually you don't need to read the post to know what the (same old) message is.

You know:

"Why my startup failed" (cause I built something no-one wants)

"Why we switched from this technology to that technology" (because the old one sucked but the new one will solve all our problems)

"How we built a startup that fixed hiring" (they didn't)

"How to hire great people" (no-one knows)

"Why we were rejected from YC" (can an idea be that bad?)

"Our experience of interviewing at YC" (we were scared, it didn't take long, we got accepted!)

etc etc
Good hires don't need to read the whole article
Quite true for google. Less (but still kinda) for Facebook IME.
> The phrase as used by Newegg had the desired effect with their target audiences.

Exactly my point. It's using a dirty word in an unusual way to cast aspersions.

> And if using the phrase "patent troll" contributes to increased vilification of offensive patent use in general, I don't have any problem with that, either.

One man's "offensive" is another man's ordinary.
You are quite right, and this is by design. I believe all the evidence points to this not mattering any more than Amazon's profitability has mattered. Tesla has its eye on something bigger and longer term than narrow early quarterly profits.

In the meantime, Elon is indeed saying whatever he has to to keep investors from losing their shit with impatience over a startup that's been working for over a decade without having transformed the world yet-- they've grown too accustomed to Dropbox's and Facebooks. If he let them speculate wildly without occasionally throwing them a bone, he would end up with a feedback cycle of bad press for no reason-- an analyst would downgrade Tesla for [some reason], a hundred articles would be written with titles like "Is this the end of Tesla?", and the cycle repeats. This is what he's keeping at bay while they prepare their grand slam.

This is the most sensible justification I've seen yet, but I note that for some time, ships have gotten larger and larger. To torture a metaphor, when all our eggs are in one basket, we want somebody watching the hen-house. It seems common that while small systems are designed for maintenance-free reliability, really big systems worth lots of money are designed to require occasional human intervention. Maybe the observation robot can't maneuver well enough to notice coolant leaking out of the oil pump (I'm not a maritime diesel mechanic, but let's imagine that these oil pumps get hot enough to require their own cooling systems), or maybe it's not equipped to tighten the relevant fitting. When the remote operator gets on the phone with the manufacturer to complain about having to shut down, they're not going to have much sympathy for her when she relates that there's no one on-board to turn a wrench. In the meantime, the shipper is paying pro-rated late fees while the ship floats in the Northern Pacific without an engine.

Ask HN: How many Google employees survive a PIP?
Hmm, how does that help?

User A: Publish package X1.0 (with 2 factor auth)
User B: Download with npm package X1.0
User A: Unpublish package.
User C: Publish package X1.0, malware code (with a different 2 factor auth)
User B: Somewhere else, download and install package X1.0

For that to work, every package should be signed in package.js so that when you download a different version, you know about it. Also, I don't think it should be possible to alter previous versions. Package X1.0 should always be X1.0.

EDIT:

Seems like it's impossible to re-upload X1.0, which fix this issue. I thought once a package was unpublished, it was possible to republish the exact same version.
It's not one less thing to think about which is exactly the point. If you install 1 dep and it has 100 deps you now have 101 things to think about.
He and I both agreed UB could show up in Rust although it defaults on quite a bit of safety. Far as compiler maturity, he could use that argument but counters himself with machine code verification due to no trust in compilers. As in, what was point of being up Rust compiler quality if he doesnt trust C's either.

Only valid point he has is that a system language needs tools to produce and/or test machine code output for source equivalence. Claims Rust doesnt have that but that's outside my knowledge. I know Ada, SPARK, CompCert C, and a Java subset have methods available.
Okay, fair enough. Sorry for being a bit antagonistic. I guess I'm just a lot less pessimistic about academia, having worked in industry before as well. The financial part isn't as good as it could be for what we think we do, but I feel that it's a nice institution in many ways. A lot of lifetime academics don't appreciate the flexibility they get in terms of what they spend their time on, how they do their work, who they work with, etc.
With crates.io, users cannot delete their packages. They can 'yank' a version, which means that no new packages can depend on it, but existing packages can.

So in this specific case, there are two packages: kik, the subject of the legal threat, and left-pad, another module by the same author. If we were compelled through legal means to remove a package, as administorators, we could, which is what happened with kik. However, if said author got mad at us, they couldn't _delete_ their other packages, only yank them, and so people's builds would not break, like they did here.

Does that make sense?

(IIRC Rubygems acts in the same way)
I'm not the author; but,

1) "I can't work on it, myself"

2) "It'll have terrible resale value" considering the life of batteries

3) It's definitely going to have a computer in it, and probably be phoning home all the time and that data could be siphoned to find out where I've been and how fast I've gone.

4) Cars with modern computers are scary easy to hack

5) I just don't drive

6) I haven't driven an electric car and so I have biases

7) I do very long road trips with very short pit-stops. Electric cars will never be able to do that (for some size of 'ever')

8) I'm over 60, and the technology won't be where I want it by the time I'm likely to leave this earth.

9) (added) I don't think we'll need to own electric cars. I think Uber or some other company will send out electric cars to us that will drive autonomously to their destination, and I think this will happen before I need to buy a new car.

There's several potential reasons.
No signatures, no (at least!) an IPFS mirror as a backup option - how can one trust NPM or the likes?!
I'm not sure why this is downvoted, because you're totally right. I'm sure it will be a great car, but all we know at the moment is that it will cost $35,000 for the base model, have a range of at least 200 miles, and be somewhat smaller than the Model S. We have no idea what it will look like, what the options will be, what sort of features it will have, how the interior will be, etc. All of this will make or break it.
Are you guys serious? While you all are bitching about the fact that less than half the extensions are currently missing, the rest of us are going to enjoy playing with and learning from the ones that are there.
It is pretty amazing to watch how well Tesla is being run from a business point of view irrespective of their technology.

Earnings are expectedly bad -> stock takes a beating -> new car announced -> stock skyrockets -> debt raised at very high valuation -> long delays for car -> rinse, repeat

Bravo Elon, Bravo!
Every function in the C++ standard library reliably communicates allocation failure to the application without relying on aborting the whole program. If Rust can do it, C++ can do it too. Rust got itself into this trap by eschewing exceptions.

When a package transfers ownership or is removed/re-added, it's not possible to republish the same version as one that has previously existed.

Of course, this doesn't save you if you're installing `^1.0.0`, the maintainer deletes the package, and someone else uploads a malicous `1.0.1`.

The package.json should allow pinning publisher usernames and optionally public keys, and shrinkwrap should pin hashes, not just versions.
I cant believe so many negative (for Tesla), yet sensible comments get down voted. I understand the tech community orgasms with everything that comes out of Elon Musk but, like many have pointed out, the low end luxury market is ultra competitive and has been dominated by the likes of BMW, VAG, Mercedes, Honda, etc for quite some time. These companies haven't just been sitting still in the last decade, and, besides having a century or so head start with actually building mass market high quality products they are also heavily invested in electric drive and other alternatives.

Unlike the markets for model S and X, cars in this segment rely on enormous volume to be successful both product-wise and financially, and, considering what we know about Tesla and how hard it is to mass manufacture such a complex product like a car, it's really questionable whether Tesla will be able to pull this one off. The relative success of the (niche) model S is no indicator here at all.

Unlike some here on HN may think, the automobile industry, especially in this segment, is already a hyper competitive space and the existing OEMs have not only the infrastructure and experience building high quality products that people actually want but also a far bigger war chest to battle it out with. I don't think anyone (including me) is hoping for them to fail but im certain that this will be a pivotal point for the company on whether they'll truly be able to become a mass market manufacturer or stay a niche luxury player they are now.

2) markers are either missing or used up and no one replaces them. oh you want to project your screen? good luck find a working remote or HDMI cable.
But they know this, and will keep ahead of that demand. Thanksgiving 2018 is a long time away, and building more superchargers is the least of their engineering problems. Very easy to do.

And I think you're not grasping how small a number 142 is for a full-fledged gas station.

There are over 200 million people in the US with driver's licenses, and over 114,000 gas stations. If only half of those people are driving, that's almost 900 drivers per gas station.

142 is nothing! Particularly since this isn't accounting for the fact that many/most Tesla owners fill up at home. The competition for charging space you're anticipating is simply an imagined worry.
Well, nothing - in fact, you should remove your comment, because if leadership from Kik sees it, they'd technically be obligated to initiate legal action to defend their trademark. The likelihood that they see it is very low, but...
May be the single best teardown of a product ever written (and a great product starring in it)
Indeed. It amuses me to no end that charging is the biggest worry of people unfamiliar with EVs, but is one of their great advantages over a traditional car.
It does. Given that I've started a project in Rust which will have such dependencies, I feel even better that clearly there has been some good thinking put into this.
> Granted the license is WTFPL but does that include taking over the IP itself?

IANAL but "do whatever the fuck you want to" would seem to include literally everything including taking over the IP.

Barely. Intel had a headstart and was default in market. They pulled in more money overall plus charged more for the chips. Gave them big R&D advantage. There were compilers, too.

AMD usually played catch up, usually tot for tat making less money, got ahead big on 64bit Opteron, and then Intel caught up. Today, Intel bough Altera while people talk up Xilinx buying AMD. World of financial difference first mover, IP, and lockin can make, eh?

>I absolutely did not consider minivans or SUVs, and for one really big reason

Minivans and SUVs are also handy if you do outdoor activities involving a lot of gear--including boats, etc. that go on the roof. A number of paddling friends I know actually consider minivans more practical than SUVs for this purpose.

Of course, said activities also often involve going to places where electric cars aren't practical--even if they didn't have gull-wing doors that preclude roofracks.

That said, I also have a small second vehicle. But then I paid $18K for it in 1998 or so and it's still going strong at 170K miles. (Honda Del Sol.)

I have an idea for anyone who is interest in getting their hands dirty with TensorFlow.

There is a very large conservation group in Fort Lauderdale that works with Sea Turtles.[1] Thousands of turtles are born on Fort Lauderdale beach every year, however, there is a problem because once hatched they move towards a light source. So they are crossing the road towards hotels with bright lights and street lamps at night instead of crawling into the ocean. What the volunteers are doing is collecting massive quantities of data to show how devastating artificial lights are to the baby turtles.

They have a massive quantity of data and they have a very good idea of when the eggs will hatch. They go out on the beach when the eggs hatch and pretty much make sure all the turtles make it to the ocean. Great program. They use data like air temperature and amount of daylight to try and figure out when the eggs will hatch so they are ready to usher them into the ocean.

They have years of data. They know the data is linked to hatching times. But, they don't have sophisticated models.

If someone wanted an interesting project to start using TensorFlow with I would suggest getting in touch with S.T.O.P. and request their data sets so see if a prediction model can be developed for when the eggs hatch. Being able to know when the eggs hatch would help the scores of volunteers who are out on the beach protecting sea turtles.

iPhone SE is at a full 30% premium price as compared to US. So a product priced at the magic price point of INR 27500 is instead at a prohibitive ~ INR 40000 which most consumers in India will balk at.

The SE will sell massive volumes in India if the pricing matches the one in US - but at the current point its very uncertain looking at Indian consumer landscape.
I edited my post while you were writing yours ;-) Thanks for the clarification.
But you never hit the Supercharger on your way to and from work, because you charge at home. You only need Superchargers on long trips. Most people will visit them only a few times a year, so the demand is much lower.
Sindre basically treats npm as his snippet database. I don't see anything wrong with it.

See:

https://github.com/sindresorhus/ama/issues/10#issuecomment-1...
> This is definitely well-planned

No, it isn't. First, Hawthorne has been a huge pain for owners. Lines waiting to charge. Second, there are several places which are mind-boggling as to why they "planned" it the way they did viz.: Philly to Pittsburgh you have to route through Baltimore and stop at Hagerstown in winter, then stop again at Somerset due to the massive elevation change. If Tesla had put a supercharger at Breezewood there'd be no problem. See the Tesla forum for complaints.

> that's 142 drivers per charger

This is a straw man. Few people will be charging at the Mitchell, SD supercharger. I chose Newark as an example because it is at a rest stop (contrast with others your have to go out of the way to get to) and it is right in the middle of a large metros. If you want to do the math on how many people will be stopping to charge there spending 30+ minutes each -- again, assuming you get the transformer to yourself -- I don't think it'll work out well.
It isn't a static dictionary; it just has a (large) initial value, unlike gzip.

Brotli is a great compressor, especially at levels 2-5. Unfortunately, the Google paper on Brotli runs tests at levels 1 and 11. I don't get that at all when their stated goal was to replace gzip.

Did you read the article? The author is specifically discussing cars like the BMW 3 series, which sold 140k units in the US last year. I wouldn't call that anywhere near an 'enormous volume'...

As for all the vaunted experience "building high quality product people actually want"? If 150,000 or so people want an all electric car that's fun to drive and has a 200+ mile range, they'll be buying it from Tesla, not BMW.

Yes. With dependency you are giving up control and in return you save time in not having to implement the dependency. If the LoC is small you get practically nothing in return and so the only reason to do it is ideological.

Many times it is even faster to write a trivial "module" yourself than even discover it on npm, let alone reading and verifying it. Hell, NPM 3.x is so slow that it's literally faster to write any 1 liner "module" than it is just to install it.

"Reuse" is just a means to an end, it doesn't make sense to do it only for its own sake.
Plausible, but my spot testing by querying people in the office showed that pretty much everyone in their 50s have heard of the Kardashians, and most of them actually know more about their lives than I do due to the fact that they watch the evening news (in which E! Entertainment) immediately follows to give you celebrity gossip.

I'd posit that generations can't have their own unique 'pop culture'. If it's only popular to people born within 10 years of you, then it's not popular. By my measure a lot of 'pop artists' aren't really popular because even appealing to 100% of tweens in the USA, really means you've captured 3% of the total general population.
That wouldn't work either. Current helicopters lack the range to cover many Ocean shipping routes. And they can't safely land on a disabled ship in the middle of a severe storm.
> I don't know. I wrote up a longer comment; but, when I was typing it up, I realized that I don't know, I don't even have the beginning of an idea.

That is all I was trying to say really. The article doesn't know either and you can't extrapolate markets like that.
I've read the story you're talking about, and its definitely by Doctorow, but I googled around for a while without any luck, as well as searching some of the short story collections. I'd be interested if anybody could remember it!
I really recommend reading the article. I was surprised how small the quantities in this segment of the market is. Given that they're selling 50-80k cars a year at the moment, competing in a segment where the average car sells 45k units/year doesn't sound like a different game at all.
It takes me 5 minutes to put gas in my car. It takes 40 minutes to quick charge a Tesla (longer for other EVs)

Also when analyzing scarcity of chargers you should look at popular travel routes, not population distribution.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but your analysis is weak in those points.

But, nevertheless, it's not exactly a port of Coreutils to Windows per se.

For instance, let's take the "cp" utility.

A Windows port "cp" should be able to copy Windows-specific file attributes. Does the Cygwin "cp" do that? How about NTFS forks?

I don't believe that you can write some portable code in Rust, and have a "cp" utility which correctly handles every quirk of every OS's file structure.
Maybe one possible way to fix this problem is to let you unpublish it as long as no one else downloaded it. I.e. once I've got your security, then you're already compromised and you need to change it.
