On the latency front, CoDel exists for consumer/edge routers.

Backbones solve their latency concerns by always having excess bandwidth available. AFAIK, there has been no network queuing advancements that allow for link saturation without multiplicitive latency increases.

My 12Mbit/768Kbit ADSL2+ connection has ~15ms latency when idle and ~35ms average (~55ms peak) during upload saturation because of CoDel & traffic-shaping. Without CoDel = ~650ms.
He actually gambled the house of cards early on. SpaceX needed money, he bet Tesla, and they got lucky.

It's not simply that he's a great entrepreneur, it's that his goals seem to be slightly different from others. Every business owner wants to make a lot of money, but Musk has decided to do that via pushing humanity into a Sci-fi future as soon as possible.
Yes, but internally the eGolf is not quite the same structure as combustion engine models.

Also the most iconic full EV car, Tesla model S, looks very much like combustion engine cars. In fact, from distance it's hard to tell it apart from a Ford Mondeo, the symbol of mediocrity (at least in the UK) which is also a fine and nicely contoured car.

The more distinctly formed EV cars, on the other hand, look about as weird as Granma Duck's 1916 Detroit Electric; they have some futuristic aerodynamics but on the desirability scale, they seem to suck.

It's interesting that engineers (sellers of talent) and employers (buyers of talent) both seem to think that the other side has it easier. I don't know if there's ever been a better time to be top talent in software.
At my last job, I was hire #3 and skipped the entire interview process (had worked with my boss for a couple of years already, so that was interview enough). As we ramped up the staff to 20+ we added rigorous interviews until it got to the point where I'm not sure I could have passed it, despite being one of the most productive members of my team in real engineering situations.

Similarly at my new company, our coding test is geared toward people with different responsibilities from mine. I'm very much big data / Spark, whereas the test is geared toward full stack developers. They skipped it for me, which is good -- I doubt I'd have passed it.

All this is to say, I am skeptical of code tests. I've seen some value (when we filter out really bad apples who can talk well but can't code) but I've seen a lot of negatives, too.

I see your point and I might agree with you (didn't make up my mind yet), but how is this different than disclosing someone else's vulnerability with a "hardcoded" date? In some cases, getting from disclosure to a working exploit is trivial.

If this data was so easy to get, any state actor probably had it for years now. Also powerful criminal organisations.

Wasn't the harm potentially done already and this might trigger a change? Maybe now all those banks will not accept whatever data is in this leak as a way to authenticate a customer. In that scenario we would be in a better situation because of the leak.
In highly doubt the Midel 3 is going to be immune from price increases as options are added. Currently we have absolutely no idea what the equation will be so the comparison with cars that start in the low 20s is inappropriate.

Hundreds of thousands destroyed? I think you will have to back that up with some evidence.
That's another advantage! If they hadn't given you the code test, maybe you wouldn't have found out you didn't want to work with them as quickly :-)
Some zoning laws also have safety implications. If dine-sharing apps take off, I expect the trajectory to quickly go from “sharing a meal with a neighbour” to “running a full-time restaurant out of your house.”

Both Uber and AirBnB have followed this arc. Uber even gives preference to drivers who work full-time.

Zoning is related to building codes. All the rules around waste disposal, fire codes, and so forth are dramatically different between a restaurant and a private home. And the financial incentives with a “dine-sharing” business will be to ignore safety until forced to comply, as they have been historically with almost all businesses.

Who is going to check that there are even working smoke detectors and a fire extinguisher? For that matter, who will even check that there is a cooker hood removing grease?

We don’t enforce these things for private homes because when you cook for yourself, your family, and people you know, there are social incentives in place to control safety. There’s no such incentive in place when you’re cooking for strangers.

And of course, this is a dramatically different story when you compare to ride-sharing. Private cars have the same safety features as the taxis already on the road, and drive on the same roads. Private kitchens do not have the same safety features as restaurant kitchens, and are not housed in the same buildings.

Private cars operate in public, with some expectation that the police will intervene if the car appears to be driven improperly, like speeding. Not perfectly, but there is enough oversight to provide incentives to drive safely. There is no such oversight for private kitchens.

Ride-sharing apps have a high degree of tracking: They monitor the car’s location and speed continuously. Location is shared with the passenger’s app. Will dining apps monitor the food being cooked? Do they know if the eggs are past their best-before date?

Dine-sharing is unlike ride-sharing or home-sharing in a number of substantial ways that are at relevant to zoning and the concept of what is and isn’t a fit establishment for cooking for strangers.
That's reminds me of database record relations.
Biggest problem for me with electric cars is the simple fact that I live in a flat - a very nice flat in a very nice European city [1]. Our car lives on the quiet street outside - so how, in the foreseeable future, would I get an electric car charged?

NB Is anyone looking into solving this particular problem - because it's one that a lot of people will face.

1 - I mention this as it is inconceivable to me that I would move simply to have a different kind of car.
I think you have misunderstood me, or I wasn't clear enough. We're not looking for people who work endless overtime or spent every waking moment on open source projects.

The text you quoted says "a 9-5 job that they only do because they must", which I believe would exclude anyone "extremely passionate about programming and learning and problem solving". I'm talking about people that have no passion for it, regardless of what their other passions are.

Our new hire arrives at work at 9:30am and leaves at 5pm.

With regards to hobbies, families etc. Thats understandable if they don't have time to complete the test even though they are job hunting. However, I'd rather miss out on a good hire than risk a bad hire. My company can more easily survive spending a bit longer recruiting in our reduced talent pool compared to living with several bad hires.
Are you serious? How is Human Development Index have anything to do with owning Apple devices? Even if Apple is allowed to sell it's refurbished devices it cannot compete with other phone manufacturers who sell devices with better specs at lowest possible rates. And I'm saying this as an Apple fanboy. That is the reality of Indian market. Human Development Index is mostly because of poverty which cannot be eradicated by Apple selling it's refurbished phones in the secondary market.
The problem is how the printed money is distributed.

Central banks convert it into debt with interest, this is bad.

Paying it as wages or a national dividend would get it to the leaves where it benefits people, then communities, then society and then banks.

I argue inflation is not bad just how the printed money is distributed.
But only if all other things indeed are equal. It most likely can't hurt, but if you start leaning on it in anyway, assuming that it can replace making an effort on your actual CV, or developing even the faintest teint of entitlement around what's expected of you in a recruitment process, it can very quickly become a liability.

If you're so obviously awesome that you can expect to special-case the recruitment process (because of your GitHub profile or celebrity status or something else), you'll generally know it. If you're uncertain, you probably can't.

I've seen a good number of GitHub profiles in a recruitment capacity in my time. Most of them are fairly trivial -- a personal blog engine, small tools, bit and pieces, vim/emacs config files, forks of popular repos with small edits, more often than not cosmetic. Sometimes small fixes PR'd back. Inevitably, presented with little-to-no context.

Rarely are the repos 'live', so I can discover how the owner grows a project over time, they are often single (or few) commit code dumps.

Only extremely rarely have I seen a project of any complexity (written by the applicant) that could serve a the basis for deeper discussion. At least once has the applicant apologised for not being able to discuss it very deeply, because it was a few years ago.

Hi! We're a small, but growing software house with a team of experienced developers, looking for new contract work.

Don't be shy! Give us a shout for an estimate on your interesting software project. You just might be surprised on how competitive our rates can be.
I think this is the wrong way to approach this. You're essentially pirating content now. If you don't like the ads, stop using the site. It's that simple. To take it a step farther, send an email to customer service explaining WHY you're no longer using the site. This sends a much stronger message to them about what makes you unhappy with the service they provide.
It's probably worth noting that the author (Craig Murray) is no apologist for non-Western dictators.

He was the former UK ambassador to Uzbekistan until he decided that boiling people alive wasn't an interrogation method he believed a supposed UK ally should be using[1].

As such his views shouldn't be dismissed out-of-hand. I think it is worth noting that the data isn't available yet. I'm sympathetic to the view that journalists should get a first look at the data. But be aware that the longer they promise "more revelations to come" the higher chance that the operation will get shut down.

I Launched a Company on My 15th Birthday
I launched a company on my 15th birthday (April 1st).
The company's name is Relyphe (rē līf) it's a social media website for the dead.

Here's what it is about:

You only know that person's legacy from the brief interactions you had with that person. What if I told you with this site you would be able to gather everyone's perspective of that person's legacy whether it be from that person's co-workers perspective, his brother's perspective, and everyone he impacted through the deceased person's life would you be interested?

With Relyphe we did just that. You would be able to gather almost all perspectives of the person's legacy be it from stories, photos, and videos.

Different Stories from Different People make up One Legacy.

Niagara Falls is going to go dry – again
"This is what everyone throughout the world is attempting to do. Truth is narrowed down and made a plaything for those who are weak, for those who are only momentarily discontented. Truth cannot be brought down, rather the individual must make the effort to ascend to it. You cannot bring the mountain-top to the valley. If you would attain to the mountain-top you must pass through the valley, climb the steeps, unafraid of the dangerous precipices."

I actually end up doing that with websites that block browsers with ad-blockers from viewing the content. It takes a while to change my habits but when they are changed there is no coming back to these sites.
I guess there could be more than one single thing causing this problem. So, overly restrictive zoning might contribute to the problem, but so might reduced demand for human labor and the government/banks printing too much money.
Seems to me legal departments get to own this stuff till they break the company reputation then the CEO snarls at the chief legal officer and says "what the fuck are you doing?"
You're not, but it's up to you to deal with the administrativia (reporting it to the police, disputing the invoice).

Unbalanced is a nice way to put it :)

Our home line is 110/3.5 - if a service can serve content faster than 110 Mbit/s we are limited by the rate at which we can upload the TCP ACK, and not by the download limit on our connection.

Another good anecdote: Netflix has been cited as using 9.5% of the internet's upstream traffic on ACK alone. (source: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/11/netfli...)
Aka, Just another gnome desktop environment
Couldn't believe that but it absurdly true.

Checked British sites and it's splashed all across The Guardian, BBC, Telegraph, even Sky New and the Daily Mail. Each reporting it from multiple angles.

But the Washington Post has just: "The Panama Papers are super awkward for Beijing". ('super awkward'? really?) Couldn't find anything on The NYTimes front page. Fox has something at least.
I might agree that preventing ads from displaying is immoral but tracking users across websites is even more immoral. And since I cannot rely on websites to behave, ad-blockers are actually re-introducing morality into browsing by blocking the tracking.
Taxation is obviously not theft, any more than charging for goods is. "75% of your income" is a very different thing than "75% of your income beyond a certain figure"; I have no problem with basic levels of income being absolutely tax-free. I don't agree with many actions undertaken by my government, including launching illegal wars which I have protested on the street against. That doesn't mean I don't think everyone is entitled to a certain level of wellbeing, paid for by the general economy.

After taxation, what is your actual income? Is it not enough?
I have no idea who you are or what you do, but in my experience #2 up to this point tends to be "here is a github gist assignment which defines a simple REST interface, please write it and add some tests."

This may be useful to weed out junior candidates with ~1-2 years experience, but those of us with 10+ it's an incredible waste of time. What exactly do you* want to see? Your homework problem doesn't even come close to covering the tools I'd use to build a highly scalable and responsive application, including but not limited to specific coding practices which offer great performance, clean API design, full blown test coverage, as well as attention to server infrastructure design and careful selection of tools which will scale with the application from 10k to 10M users (or whatever other performance characteristics your app requires).

One of the more interesting interview techniques I've experienced is when they engage me in a prior/personal project and give me the chance to completely go 100% on about something I've been passionate about (maybe even sending in a code sample and doing a code/project review). It tends to be win/win because the interviewer can clearly see the true developer experience through this method without arbitrary imposed design decisions for homework-level candidates. They can typically guide the conversation towards some of the deeper gems of interest which only an experienced developer can understand and both parties can relate to at some level. This is what I feel the true essence of an interview can and should be.

By all means use a homework assignment to weed out the junior programmers, especially if their resume indicates as much. But if they say they have 10 years of experience treat them like they do and give them the benefit of a doubt with a 30-45 minute phone screen which concretely proves that.

I've written a publicly available open source database driver full of tests and documentation which is at some level an incredibly strong indicator of higher level programming skill, yet when submitted it's been overlooked and "please write a RESTful web app" is typically the answer. That is borderline insulting, why should I work for your company? This makes me question the point of submitting my GitHub profile as a resource at all.

* The general "you" as in "people with these hiring practices." I'm not picking on danpalmer specifically.
The externals are driven by aerodynamics and should be converging generally.

The interior is where there's a bunch of new rules in play, with the front mounted ICE being replaced with a floor of batteries and between wheel motors. That directly allows Tesla to be amongst the safest cars ever built, and to fit more passengers, more comfortably than similarly sized ICE cars.

Tesla needs those advantages to balance out initial shortcoming of EV cars, at lower mass-market price points that becomes even more important.

I was really just illustrating that the same incomplete (bordering on dishonest) portrayal of the movement of labor can also be applied to the movement of capital.
A bit of everything during the last couple of years. After Gentoo, which was my distro of choice for a long time, I used frugalware, which is slackware-ish but with pacman and an "easy" installer. Then I got a laptop and a 3g USB modem which would only work properly with NetworkManager, so I went around between distros that packaged it (Fedora, Ubuntu).

Now I run emacs on CentOS 7. I only do security updates and have been using guix to handle userspace (Userspace = mostly emacs).

For work I have an Ubuntu laptop. We code pascal, so I almost never leave the GUI. After configuring Unity I actually like it a lot. I might switch to ubuntu on their next LTS release (which, after all the kinks are worked out, will be 16.04 + ~4 months)

Maybe because apps cheapen the experience…

I like taking my friends to hidden gem restaurants I find myself because if its good they'll be surprised. If an app was an charge any restaurant it points me to will be rammed and a sucky experience anyway.
