I think you missed the point. The real question is, "So a canary died on a service I use, now what?" Well I have that question too. The damage is done. Should I toss my phone in the nearest trash can, burn off my fingerprints, cut and bleach my hair in the at the nearest connivence store bathroom, and shed a single tear as I will never return home to my family again as I am now hitchhiking to Mexico or what? Because, honestly, I don't know what to do besides that. If you're the target of an NSL, then you need to worry.

> 3) Warrant canaries also serve as an indicator of the politics of the canary publisher. Someone who publishes a canary is sending a message that they care about keeping everyone informed.

Yeah, but the set of those that don't publish canaries doesn't indicate the opposite. Organization X might not publish a canary, because the canary is already dead.

> It seems like the guiding principle was to create a language that gives you incredible freedom in terms of how you do things. While that is great in theory, in practice mentally modelling that expressiveness reduces the amount of attention I can devote to the specific problems being addressed by the code.

In defense of Perl 6, you could say more or less the same thing about Perl 5 and every Perl that came before it. Perl has always been optimized for cleverness, in the sense that it's much more interested in making it easier for people to write code than it is in making it easier for anyone (even the person who wrote it) to read it.

I think this is RH finally realizing why Ubuntu Server has surpassed them in the cloud. It's because develop & test on the same OS. Its also the reason why CentOS was popular in the first place.

This coupled with faster but unsupported software version updates should put but back on track to compete in the cloud.

I'm actually going to reduce my reservation to one car now. Pretty disappointed at the design, it looks like a Prius.

For the price point, I would obviously still buy one... but the hatchback style is not as appealing for a mid level luxury car that may compete with a MB C-class or BMW 3-series.

They could have made it look like an Audi A4 sedan, with an available hatchback, but I think that would cannibalize Model S sales to some extent.

Tesla also announced they are going to increase Model S prices starting this month. This could be part of their strategy to increase Model S sales now, before they release revisions in the future.

What's also interesting is that Tesla cleared all CPO inventory at the beginning of the year. On their Pre-Owned site, they had used Model S going for less than 50k. They cleared it all out early in the year and now only offer recent models as inventory for lease/purchase.

You know, back in the old Embrace Extend Extinguish days, I used to think Microsoft should just cancel old products they obviously don't give a shit about. I hated that they sucked the oxygen out of the room by continuing to half-ass it for years and years.

Now we have Google, that's almost as big but not as contentious, and they're canceling things left and right, and that's causing problems too. So now I'm not sure what my position is on the topic.
Yes, I do not mean to say that hacking an election is impossible, or that it's never happened. My only point, which is quite narrow, is that it would be difficult to hack a US presidential election by means of literally hacking voting machines. I do not know the Brazilian election system, but I believe it would be quite difficult to steal a US election in this way.

Reminds me of a meeting I sat some years back with someone whose role was to run 'dirty tricks' campaigns for Microsoft in the early Apple vs. Microsoft days. He talked about stuff like ways they used to undermine Apple dev conferences so no-one would be interested to go the following year and generally white-anting their community, especially education environment. It was a bit of an eye opener.

I also suspect this guy is underselling his service. The article calls $20k/mth expensive. If your going to significantly affect an election I suspect there could be another zero or more there. And I wonder if he's ever worked for 2 sides simultaneously? Given the ethics involved this wouldn't be a stretch.

You can't make a car with low drag without it being a hatchback. And low drag is key to reasonable battery size.
I think part of the issue was that the audio was poorly mixed. This type of stuff happens at all kinds of events, but they typically isolate audio from the speaker only via lapel mic.

You always mix in SOME crowd noise otherwise they don't seem to cheer. But it is a pretty dynamic operation with an operator raising the gain and lowering it as needed to get the desired effect.

In this case the crowd noise was as loud as the speaker and as a result they seemed to shout over him.
I agree that elections can come down to a handful of districts, but I don't agree that anyone can know what those districts are in advance. Polling just isn't that good. You can fairly precisely target areas, but not exactly. You would either need to do fairly widespread hacking, or hack a few districts and hope for the best, which I think is an absurd proposition. Nobody would hack a couple districts "just in case", that's a massive risk with probably no gain. You either ensure victory, or do nothing.
They must've had an open bar while people were waiting for the presentation to start or something. The crowd is ridiculous.

Legit question: How much does a Tesla cost to recharge?

I mean assuming you do it in your home and not at a free charging station. Are we talking $1/charge? $5? 50c? I just want a frame of reference. I'm talking raw electricity only (and obviously based on some average rate).
This is one of those repeatedly solved problems in chip design... Here is my solution:

https://github.com/jhallen/joes-sandbox/tree/master/verilog-...

My solution allows you to define registers as module instantiations throughout the design hierarchy. Parameters give the address and bit positions of each register. A tool extracts the registers and generates documentation and a C header file for the chip. The tool has to elaborate the design to determine the parameter values- so it also handles derived addresses by handling math involving parameters. It generates C names for the registers which match the register instantiation path in the design hierarchy (and tries to simplify it by providing just enough of the path to make the names unique). Field names are derived from the names of the wires connected to the register bits.

I've seen other tools which work the other way: the master is a C header file, and the Verilog is derived. I'm not a fan of this, since it means you are have to plumb signals to a central register file module, which creates a big mess.

I like to use an OR-tree for the on-chip register bus- I think it's the optimal design for FPGAs. I have a library which includes simple registers and modules which allow the internal bus to cross clock domains. Look at bus*.v here:

https://github.com/jhallen/joes-sandbox/tree/master/fpga/hdl...

You have to plumb just two identifiers throughout the design for the registers: bus_in and bus_out.
This is an old idea in Hypertext called Stretch Text (since 1967!):

They don't seem to have fixed much at all, it's still a total dog - massive memory hog, lots of random lock-ups and crashes. The classic is the pop-up telling you it's working on showing you a pop-up. And even introduced new issues (like including files from gitignore in the change-sets). I'm this close (holding fingers very close together) to just dumping the thing for a text editor. VS2015 has been a total car crash as far as I'm concerned.
>But with near-zero interest rates, and lots of pre-orders, they can probably borrow heavily for plant at very low cost.

This is essentially the entire reason Tesla even exists. Nearly a decade of near zero interest rates have resulted in massive amounts of capital are available to be thrown at huge projects like this.

If you would prefer "native UI", then you would hate Visual Studio as well. Visual Studio 6 (1998) was the last one which used Win32 API for the UI. Visual Studio.net (aka 2002) already had this non-standard UI controls. Even Eclipse is more "native UI" than Visual Studio, as Eclipse UI is rendered by Win32API and uses common controls. VS uses WPF and they switched to an non-native-look skin starting with Visual Studio 2013.

Btw. even Office uses non-native UI controls since the very beginning of Office programs around 1990. You can see this if you open Word 6 in Win95 (or later), the controls and even child-window theme looks like Win3.1. Office 97 had a very visible non-standard window theme with the application title in italic font (no other Win95 app looks like that). The menu bar of Office 1997 and later looks non-standard as well. Office 2007 and later draw a custom drawn ribbon area over the Win32 menu. With COM you can integrate a Word/Excel/etc document area in your sample Win32 application and you can watch how the traditional nativ menu bar is overdrawn by a ribbon area if you click inside the document area.

That's typical of salespeople at the higher levels. The smooth-talking types are down at the midmarket dealerships.

Hatchbacks give you more headroom than sedans. So if they're primarily concerned with its back seat roominess then going hatchback makes a lot of sense.

Hatchbacks are simply more practical vehicles unfortunately. They don't even have that much worse MPG than a sedan, and they give you a little more space to work with. It is a pragmatic choice.
No it didn't. The reservations simply get you a spot in line, and they're fully refundable.
CentOS has let you do that for a long time.

The whole point of RH/CentOS is it's the distro for people who specifically do NOT want a lot of churn in software versions.

I install RHEL on production servers because I'm much more confident I can run "yum update" and nothing will break.
I was at Fremont at 0450, number 35 or so in line (there were tents of people ahead, was hard to count). Had my car reserved by 1007. 5h well spent.
CentOS is a rebuild of RHEL. While it's rare, there are some bugs that creep in during that process. It also doesn't have a few other things that RHEL does - mainly the -supplemental repo (closed source 3rd party software, the most important of which is probably Oracle jdk in rpm form), a working yum-security module, and a slightly different update mechanism (both are yum, but if you are creating some mass deployment system then having subscription-manager is important; this is really edge case-y though).

And to be very, very clear - Red Hat does not support CentOS. Some of the CentOS devs are paid by Red Hat, but if you open a support ticket for it it will be closed very quickly. You cannot pay Red Hat for commercial support of CentOS in any way.

Most of these cases strike me as being quite worrying with regard to 'just following orders'.

A police officer must, must have discretion. The individual, the team, that steps into a home must be able to decide whether taking items is the best course of action and be free to do so without coercion.

The average electric price in the US is 10-15 cents per kWh for most regions. A 60 kWh battery would cost $6 to $9 to fully charge, then. With gas at just ~$2 per gallon, it's only a ~50% discount compared to the fuel a gas car with decent MPG would need for the same distance travelled. The economics were better when gas cost twice as much.
Yes, I agree that there were many issues with the 2000 presidential election. That's part of my point. Diebold sold their voting machine division for a huge loss, at least partially because of the controversies of 2000 and the many studies showing how easily their machines could be hacked. Most of the country today uses paper ballots that are counted by machine. Still exploitable, but it would be much more difficult.

The Model S comes with a standard 60 kwH battery, which at an average rate of $0.20/kwH for electricity in the US, that's about $12.00 to fill it up for 250 miles range.

The BioHazard Mode was a work of genius. Not in terms of the actual feature, but in marketing terms, everyone was talking about it and it was a unique thing that only Tesla had.

Essentially they re-branded "full" on the AC dial.
A couple of counter points

1.) Design is subjective. I for one think while the Model S looks great, the X and 3 do not look that attractive.

2.) I really don't think "faster" really means much when are you talking about the majority of the mainstream automobile market. Top speed is low on the list of priorities for the average consumer.

3.) Cheaper is not free. I would save about $70 (based on today's gas prices in Ontario, Canada) per month in gasoline costs, but it would still cost me about $60 a month in electricity costs to do an average of 20,000 km a year.

4.) Production capability, supply chain and support network can not be overlooked. Tesla struggled to get 50,000 cars out last year. BMW sold north of 2 million cars in 2015. I recognize Tesla is growing day by day, but 50,000 to 2 million is a big jump.
I think they could improve things by controlling the audience more. The presentation wasn't helped by people yelling and interrupting (yes, they were enthusiastic).

Apple handles this a lot better, they get applause and cheers, but it always seems to be at the right time. Is it because their audience is apple employees highly trained to give feedback on cue?
The average battery size for the Model S is probably 85kWh (they sell them from 70 - 90), and average residential power rates in the US are ~$0.15/kWh. So the easy answer is, a Model S will cost ~$12.75 to "fill up". However, some places have residential rates closer to $0.08/kWh, or $7/tank. That's for 300mi range.

They do sell lower capacity battery versions and the entry level Model 3 will likely have a 50kWh battery for a 215mi range, so that would cost $7.50 to fill.

Most areas have night-time plans from the utilities to level demand where they charge a lot less for power, the Supercharging stations are free to use for Tesla owners, so the average cost will probably be quite a bit lower.
Over the last few days at Build, Red Hat had been making a big deal about "loving .NET." I wonder if this move is driven entirely by the desire to be the go-to destination for .NET Core on Linux.

EDIT: I saw this announced by Red Hat during a .NET session and they were giving out flash drives with the image.

It is not exactly selling it ;-)
The last time I made this argument it got like eight upvotes and ten downvotes without any of the naysayers explaining themselves, so I'm going to make it again.

A carbon tax imposed by a majority of industrialized countries would be net profitable for countries that aren't large net petroleum exporters at the expense of countries that are.

The carbon tax reduces consumption (i.e. demand) for petroleum, which reduces its pre-tax market price according to supply and demand. In other words the higher after-tax price of oil causes more people to buy electric cars and build out non-fossil power generation, which means less burning of oil and coal, which means less buying of it.

So you have a $2/gallon tax but the resulting drop in demand reduces the pre-tax price of petroleum by $1/gallon (or whatever), which means you're only actually paying $1/gallon more for gas. Meanwhile you have $2/gallon worth of tax revenue which you can give back to the people paying the gas tax via a negative income tax or whatever you like. The extra $1/gallon is money not paid to Russia and Saudi Arabia, which we get instead.

It's free money at the expense of antagonistic countries. The fact that it also happens to save the world is just a nice side benefit.
I can still install the exact same software as Red Hat Linux – except for a difference in name only – in the form of CentOS, for free, both as in beer and speech.

I still can't install MS Windows for free or without EULA.
Why implicit? There are braces around `now - INIT now`. In Ruby it'd be "Code took #{Time.now - start_time} seconds to run".
To keep size (and thus weight) down, but still seat 5, I'm not sure you have a lot of choice. That said, it might be possible they'll release a coupe variant, or a sporty wagon variant. I wouldn't mind if it was more wagon-esque, and that's probably the easier of the options as it wouldn't require reconfiguring rear seat size at all.
