For starters, how does De Goes benefit from generating this drama? Most of the sponsors pulled out and he's been smeared as a racist from one end of the Internet to the other, in an era where that accusation is literally career-ending. Do you really think he decided to blow up LambdaConf in an enormous suicide bomb, and that all the fellow conference managers were okay with that?

I don't see why not. There are two prices. The new car is a luxury and almost only thing about "new" is a status symbol. The moment you hand over the money and drive out, it lost a lot of its value - if you want to sell it now, you're going to get the real value back. And that's what the second price is - the real value of the car.

The parent comment was talking specifically about what people pay and not about the price tag at the new car dealer.
What are the norms for attribution when it comes to software? You include a LICENSE file if you're distributing the source, or you display it in your software (like iPhones and Androids).

What are the norms for attribution when it comes to images, videos? The footer. A bar over the bottom of the image. A CC logo. Anything visibly displayed along side the image.

What are the norms of attribution when it comes to website design? The footer, or an About page.

The point is that attribution is made as accessible as possible. It's what keeps the Creative Commons community strong! Deleting the template author's attribution section and relegating it to the SOURCE CODE of the website means that anyone who doesn't know what the source code is (a lot of people) don't know that "hey, this is a template that I can use too!" The attribution is _missing_. It needs to be present with the work, i.e. the web page, and hey, how do you do that? You put the link in the footer, where it was before you deleted it.

Wouldn't really even need to "service" the battery. It would be pretty easy to add a "master disconnect switch" or some other type of service switch, close to the battery, that cuts off power to the rest of the car.

I would be surprised if the manufacturers don't build something like that in already, just because it makes the car safer to assemble. (Wiring up a high-current battery pack to a bunch of electronics can be... fun... if there's not a cutoff close to the battery. You end up with a pretty good-sized arc in some cases even with the other electronics 'off'.)

The Prius has an emergency disconnect under the hood that can be accessed by emergency personnel / firefighters, although I believe it's destructive to operate. (It's a "cut here in emergency" sort of thing, at least on the older ones.)

I could see having a standardized service disconnect switch, or at least standardized signage or switch appearance, on electric/hybrid cars as a safety thing, not just for roadside emergencies but also for maintenance.

Not really.

Getting copious sleep is a good idea! Generally, if your goal is to perform well at work, I recommend relaxing in your free time (instead of pushing yourself to train so hard) so that you'll be full of energy for the workday.

Of course, doing extracurricular professional development is fine and a lot of people love their side projects, but I'm worried that your attitude will lead you to burnout.

Your best bet is actually to trust that this company hires competently and that you'll be able to perform the job to their satisfaction after being onboarded. I know it's impossible to "just relax", but I wish you could do that <3

There's no way they can make a car in which the normal wear item's aren't used elsewhere. A Tesla would cost double if all the parts were built specifically for them.

You might have a problem finding control arms and body panels if you're not a shop but I'm betting tie rod ends, wiper motor/arms, wheel bearings and brake parts are all common parts or very close to existing, common parts. The CVs and steering rack are probably hybrids made from existing components in the supplier's inventory but specifically assembled in that way for Tesla's application. SpaceX makes a point of using off the shelf parts where possible to reduce cost. I would be downright surprised if Tesla didn't do the same. It's in the best interest of any low volume manufacturer to use off the shelf parts wherever possible. The lower the volume the more this is true.

For example, one of the higher end Toyotas (I forget if it's the Avalon or Solara) uses the same Bose sound system as a handful of Maseratis. Some Rolls-Royces use a smallblock Chevy starter motor. The Dana 44 rear axle as been in everything from pickup to luxury sedans to Zambonis to forklifts. A part is a part, an assembly is an assembly. If exactly what you want isn't out there already then you work with the manufacturer to have it made. You don't reinvent the wheel unless you have a very good reason.

The requirement of the horse in the requirement is odd: "The last prehistoric North American horses died out between 13,000 and 11,000 years ago, at the end of the Pleistocene, but by then Equus had spread to Asia, Europe, and Africa" [1]

For a significant portion of the Native Americans existence in America, there were no horses. They were introduced back into the environment by Europeans.

Which means this rule for becoming chief hasn't always been part of the requirements. It was added sometime in more recent history, and implies that the definition is probably being followed too strictly.

This is like translating holy books literally, when they were written in completely different contexts. I'm sure the tribe could vote to change the definition to bring it up do date, yet still maintain the ideal.

Spot on.

Many manufacturers use extended OBD (UDS protocol) commands to handle specific tasks. Sometimes the DIDs (requestable variables) get "discovered" by reverse engineering the dealership's software (or other third party vehicle specific diagnostic software).

Most cars after 2008 use CANbus for the OBD port, so you can perform tasks and observe the messages using a cheap microcontroller+CANbus controller.

Also, I don't know if you work on BMWs often, but I just wanted to add that you can clear/reset the battery subsystem on a modern BMW/Mini using a $20 K/D-CAN cable from eBay and illegally obtained BMW INPA software.

You can use INPA to perform many tasks. Rain sensor recalibration, battery recalibration, ABS bleed procedure, transmission adaptation reset, etc...

Either way, this is well beyond the ability of the average mechanic, which is why this issue is important.

My father runs a body shop and he constantly has to call the "computer guy" to reset airbag lights. Some cars even require a reset procedure when headlights are changed...it's crazy.

The only good thing is that since so many cars use CANbus everywhere, it's pretty hackable if you want to spend the time to figure out the message IDs and encoding.

A quick tally: Where are you right now? What city and country?
The app was used at 100 airports. If you include the cost of the iPads then it's like $7000 for the actual app. Still high for a couple hours of work, but you figure most of that is overhead inherent in contract-style work. I never charge less than 1k for a project because it's not even worth the time it takes to place a bid and manage the paperwork, and I don't have to put up with government BS.

The ironic thing is that the person who made the FOIA request is complaining about lack of transparency when transparency is a perfect example of the sorts of perverse incentives that cause government projects have insane amounts of overhead. One of those spend a dollar to prevent a penny of fraud things. I don't really have any solutions, but there's no free cake.

> I've never been unhappy with flying with them.

I've had the reverse. My experience with them is always miserable.

Honestly, they seem an airline stuck in the 1980s. For example, after we married, my wife changed her name & got a new ID. She realized she also needed to change a name on a future flight back home to Seattle.

Alaskan charged her $100 to change her name.

$100.

To update a field in a database. For a flight over a month out.

By contrast, she also had to change a Southwest flight. $0 & she was off the phone in 10 minutes.

Example 2: I actually tried to take advantage of the 20 minute guarantee at LAX. I was literally sent to SIX different people. My bags had taken 25 minutes to arrive.

It took another 30 minutes to get my $20 vouchers. (Because, damnit, I wasn't giving up on principle! To the chagrin of my wife.)

And those $20? It expired in 2 months.

And despite being delayed for for six bags for 3 people, I could only use one $20 voucher.

The boarding process is bizatine based on some complex rubric of status.

Half the Alaskan personal I've encountered are nice. The other half are pretty miserable. They clearly hate their job. Or hate the customers. Possibly both.

Their fees and even basic pricing is overly complex. Their planes tend to be older.

The only defense I ever hear comes from either 1) people who have status or 2) people who say other airlines are just as bad.

(2) just isn't true. I've flown Korean Air, Emirates, Jet Blue, etc. and they are FAR better.

There is part of me that wishes we had let United, American, & the others go bankrupt in 2001, so better companies would have emerged.

Anyway, I hate Alaska.

(Source: Me. I typically travel on different airlines once or twice a month.)
And others can call it whatever they like as long as they end their sense of entitlement in being able to lay a claim on my earnings.

I'm aware of the definition, instead of replying with semantics you could try to outline the specifics of your defense of it.

From how I see it, in no morally relativistic sense do I see how making more money means I should have to forfeit more of my income because that's what's decided to be right and just by people who make less money.

I think if someone claims they have a bigger claim on my money because I earn more, you must PROVE why that is.
I have a cheaper alternative. Get rid of TSA altogether. Travelling was a whole heck of a lot more fun in 1975. Since then it's been overreaction upon overreaction. Nobody is going to hijack a plane in this day and age because of the simple fact that the passengers will immediately revolt.

While Bosses and Execs through tantrums are another class altogether - I can suggest a way or two to put a Team Lead/Architect in place when they throw a tantrum (NOTE: this only works if you actually know your shit and are correct):

- Shout back and stare down. Match such a person eye-to-eye. But don't take the heat personally. Simply play-back the game.

- Never-ever (NEVER EVER!!) let anybody (ANYBODY!!) shape your career.

- Rebuff the Lead/Architect: Tell him/her that this immature behavior will not be tolerated and if this continues, you will take your own direction and won't require his/her services as your lead.

However, sometimes ahole Lead/Architect are too powerful/influential and can actually impact your career. In such cases, don't waste time and apply elsewhere.
So my understanding of the new generation is that it's essentially a giant chunk of continuous memory and as you create new objects, you are just adding to the end of it. For whatever reason a GC event happens, and now you can traverse the live graph, and anything alive in the new generation gets copied to the old generation partition of memory. And now you just reset the counter for the new object pool, and voila, you've deleted a whole bunch of young objects just by not copying them.

But once it's in the old generation, you run right into the same issue with fragmentation and having to keep track of where deleted objects are so you can reuse that space. If the idea is that you just keep doing memcopies for all the live objects to reuse the space and avoid looking at dead objects, I'd think that that is it's own performance issue?
