Not in the traditional hybrid sense though. It's electric until the battery runs out and then uses a gas generator to create electricity. The generator is really just a range extender which is why they generally call it an Extended Range Electric Vehicle.
An exit node that did that (traffic filtering) would be shortly marked as bad, and dropped from the network.

This is a human interest piece. We have no need for science here. Another example: "The chemical attached itself to brain pathways with such ferocity..."

You see, this chemical was downright ferocious. We have anthropomorphized it past the point of science being relevant.

Bought my 2014 Volt for 25K with credits and rebate, and I would certainly buy a Volt in 2019 for comparable net payment, given than Volt improved its AER from 34 to 53.

I like comparing the Volt to A10-warthog and Model S to F-22. I have to see Model 3 and test drive before passing judgement, I hope it is not F-35.

That really doesn't matter. It doesn't run on your own system under your own control, and thus, for security purposes, it can't be considered a client.

It's fascinating to me that you mention Pittsburgh lefts as a sign of altruism / global-outcome-optimization. I currently live in Pittsburgh and... let's just say that I would not hold the average driver up as a model of selflessness. I think it's more that we've reached a local equilibrium:
new drivers learn quickly to wait when a light turns green, as a matter of avoiding accidents, and also to take advantage of that pause when turning left, as a matter of not angering everyone behind them. It's difficult to change the equilibrium as long as you interact with others following the current system.

(It's entirely possible that one could view this as emergent-behavior-converging-on-altruism without anyone consciously being altruistic. I'm just saying that anecdotally, it doesn't seem to derive directly from conscious altruistic values.)
There's two levels of tasers, I think. The older and weaker kind causes a lot of pain, but doesn't totally disable your muscles. You can resist if you have a high pain tolerance or are too high to feel it.

There's a newer and stronger kind that's actually impossible to resist, but it might be less widespread, and it's also somewhat controversial because it's more dangerous and potentially deadly for people with heart problems.
I'm looking at libaxolotl-c.
I'm a little bit disturbed about perfect forward/future secrecy.
Perfect forward secrecy ensure that a session key cannot be compromised if a long-term key is compromised in future.
With something like OTR even if a session key is compromised at n, session key at n-1 or n+1 will not be compromised. Here, we got perfect forward/future secrecy.

If i take a look at axolotl, in scenario Alice send message to bob when Bob is offline:

(1) , (2)

MK = HMAC-HASH(CKs, "0")	// (3)

msg = Enc(HKs, Ns || PNs || DHRs) || Enc(MK, plaintext)

Ns = Ns + 1

CKs = HMAC-HASH(CKs, "1")	// (4)

return msg

We can see that Alice re-use CKs to get a new symmetric key.
So if an attacker get CKs(n) he could easily compute CKs(n+1)
CKs is not a long term key, but we cannot honestly call this _perfect_ futur secrecy...
One more thing, if I remember correctly, according of perfect forward secrecy definition, an implementation must NOT re-use previous session key to derive a new one ...

I'm wrong ?

One of the founding principles of open source is that you can take a copy of someone's work and make changes to it (as long as you continue to make the changes public).

Github isn't open source so the analogy doesn't quite hold, but they're creating something and giving it to the community (as well as building a business).

It you are right - that Telsa buyers buy their near 100k cars without knowing about OR looking at the competition - then you might as well be long on them since their sales & marketing is way more efficient. Your dig is actually a win for Tesla and a bad sign for the ones you mentioned.

I'm not challenging that, in general, Tesla attracts "non-car people" but the suggestion that people that buy AMGs, RSs and 911s are "car people" is nonsense. I'll give you M though.

Regardless of who buys what, because who cares.. let's compare the acceleration performance of a few (0-60 and 1/4 mi):

Tesla Model S P90D - 2.8s / 10.9s
Audi RS - 3.3s / 11.5s
2016 Mercedes AMG GT S - 3.1 / 11.2
2017 Porsche 911 Turbo S - 2.8 / 11.1

These cars aren't even in the same retail category and Tesla is outperforming those that cost a lot more.

Very few 4-door cars offer what the Tesla Model S offers. It's a new brand and seen as anti-establishment, there's not many of them yet, they sell direct and they seem to communicate very well with their customers. Their software and in-car technology is great. People are reacting to many things that Tesla is doing right.

It will be interesting to see how they do as they move downward. It hasn't seemed to hurt Mercedes.
> SJW is a pejorative

So? 'Racist' is also pejorative. Racists exist and we ought to be able to discuss their existence and harms. SJWs exists and we ought to discuss their existence and their harms as well.

> It means "shut up and stay in your place"

I literally laughed out loud on reading this. Of course SJW doesn't mean anyone should stay in their place. Where do you get this outrageous idea? And what is that place, to you?

> In this particular case, the post I was replying t

I can't speak to the motives and thoughts of this particular speaker, but it seemed to me you were making a generalization about what 'SJW' really means, and making unwarranted claims about what we should be able to reliably infer from the mere use of the term.
This algorithm seems similar to one I found* which is a Sieve of Eratosthenes that doesn't require deciding how big of an array to allocate at the beginning. Essentially, you reverse the order of the two main loops, modifying the main data structure accordingly.

http://www.kylem.net/stuff/sieve_eratosthenes.html

I don't completely understand it yet, but I think the Dijkstra version might have optimized the structure which contains the multiples of known primes, where I just put it into a dictionary.

* I initially saw it in a paper about how the Sieve is generally implemented incorrectly in Haskell, but I made a small Python generator implementation.
It's similarly worth noting that CA has the highest income tax rates of any state in the nation for most individuals.

For instance, for incomes between around $51k and $263k the rate is 9.30%. My state's rate is 4.25%, which is closer to not having a tax at all.
I leased a Volt for 3 years and 100% agree. That car was EXCELLENT and I still miss it. My father in law bought one after driving mine and hasn't stopped grinning.

Flip it into "sport" mode and you'll get a speeding ticket. Such a great car.

Unless you can afford a dedicated "commute only with no need to take on long trips" vehicle, I do not understand the appeal of fully electrics aside from status symbols.

I don't think it was luck. I was just listening to All Things Considered and apparently there was considerable collaboration among journalists.

I know plenty of autodidacts, and arguably was one. I'm almost certain not a single one would say that if they could've afforded to be tutored one-on-one instead of reading on their own, they would've still chosen reading on their own instead. They learned from textbooks because the cost and inconvenience of tutoring was prohibitive, not because they're like "pffft, the tutor was just slowing me down, in the time spent with them I would've learned way more from a textbook".
It does support federation - for a while there Cyanogenmod ran their own Signal (then called TextSecure) server and built it into the Cyanogenmod source.

It supported federation with Signal. But they removed it as the hassle of supporting the server was hard, the code was outdated and everyone agreed if you wanted that level of security, just install Signal yourself.

Sounds like the doctor's certificate was for taking the rest of the week off.

In any case, I agree completely about asking him to come in anyhow; it's just weird that it didn't seem to be the focus of the story.
> I think that it's time to move on from GPG, or fork it, or something. There's not much in GPG's implementation of PGP that I like.

It's the only mature implementation of the relevant standards (at least now that RSA inc. has demonstrated its nontrustworthiness). I've never known anyone have a bad word to say about the actual cryptography (and notably it seems to have been effective for e.g. Snowden).

By all means improve the agents and the integrations, and fork it if you think that will help. But keep the OpenPGP standard and keep the proven cryptography implementation. That part is worth its weight in gold.

Five key figures implicated in the 'Panama Papers' scandal
> Simple/well understood things like "call an Uber" I think will be pretty DOA if you try to shoehorn a chatbot into the middle - users will prefer the actual UI over it any day of the week.

I completely disagree when it comes to texting (voice is dif.). I have no interest in waiting for my uber app to load, get me a quote and than order me a ride... I would much rather use a chatbot to look up quick and easy things.

If it's a one off piece of information that I can ask in 1-2 queries/interactions with a bot...I would much rather that over opening an app. Especially, if I can look something up quickly without leaving the current UI i'm using.

I also think you are ignoring all the many use cases that are made possible that were never before possible (i.e. the ability for chatbots to augment humans to achieve access at scale), and the many business models that can shave off 20-30% of their labor costs with well executed chat bots.

I also think it's important to think about the bots calling other bots use case, which might become even more important. Just because you can't envision a human preferring a bot over an app with simple/well understood things...doesn't mean there wont be many use cases where a current bot you are using talks to other bots on your behalf, so the UI choice is never made by you.
Finally, and most importantly, if chat bots start replacing parts of discovery, search and research, it will become crucially important to make sure your brands are found and used by bots and people over your competitors brands and bots.

Think of doing SEO in 2002. If you got it right, you banked tens of millions with minimal effort.

I can't predict the future, but viewing chat bots as a UI alternative limits its actual scope.
I'm working on a side project using Stripe and at least most comments on the internet are saying that the fraud prevention provided by Stripe is rather weak. Adding additional providers like SiftScience looks like a good idea.

Full Disclosure: Not based on first hand experience, as the project is not launched yet.
100% agree. They care about ROI also.

At my last company I build systems specifically designed around wasting the time of people that we "caught". We used to keep a dashboard with the top abusers on a wall in the office once they'd be caught to show how much of their time we were wasting. It was therapeutic.
Here's a signed commit I pushed in January to see if they'd recognise it:

Why would that be a conflict?

At least to me, it seems no more a conflict than relying on your personal contacts to land your next job. Only the scale differs.
is there a whitepaper actually showing how this works ?
Once Uber dominates the market everyone is going to learn, the hard way, why taxis used to be a regulated industry.
A turbo is a better driving experience on the highway. So, it's really just about buying the right car for your driving tastes.

There is no way to "solve" turbo lag. The compressor needs torque before it can produce boost. At the high end you can do a twin turbo. Not in an a4. And you could say something similar about having necessary power on the highway to avoid a collision.

Tldr: It's all subjective.

Ya that I too agree with this, pretty much all applications can now deal with \n just fine. Having CR LF (2 Bytes) is not only wasting storage space but also wasting bandwidth when transmitting.

While at it, I also wish if Linux distros could get done with case sensitiveness in filenames. Is there any advantage to allowing both Filename.ext and filename.ext? The only time I seen this is when a malware is trying to stay hidden. Also some naming conventions would be nice, when you can have any character including '/' and '.' as a filename, it gets annoying to deal with them in a cli.
Panama Papers: Why Aren’t There More American Names?
Anyone savvy enough to [run a Tor exit node](https://blog.torproject.org/running-exit-node) to obscure his or her network traffic could more easily do so by using [Tor Browser](https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en).

And this return-address analogy needs to include the fact that a Tor node operator is cryptographically prevented from tracing backward toward the sender.
While Uber drivers don't always know where to get around, the Uber app provides them directions, and many of them also use Google Maps/Waze. Having lived in far-out brooklyn for a year, cabs NEVER knew how to get there, and didn't want to figure out how, but an Uber has my address, and will be told exactly how to get there.
Because it's trivial for Vietnamese carders to pretend to be from any country they need to be if you're checking? They don't even need to actually get your delivery to win, they're just tasting for validity.

Deliveries are important, learning is not. What should I do?
I just graduated in CS and here I am, in a company of 30 people since a year. I see constant failures in leading, organisation and culture, I'm lost.

As a junior, I need to learn, by my tasks, myself and my peers. I arrived having the same feeling at the entrance at university, knowing nothing.

A recent event:
One week before a delivering, we start using my feature in the main app. A need not implemented appears which takes too long to develop. Unknown to everyone, we couldn't guess. The guy was busy as shit. He did a great job with the time he had and I was assigned to other tasks.
Another colleague decides to implement a similar software. In 5 days, he writes 2000 LOC with a different approach. Deadline "successful", he saved the day and the project, gg bro. No need to talk about about safety, regulatory and architecture on this.

What made me crazy was that my manager decided to use his software. It was not about ego, more because:
1st: There was no discussion, no list of pros and cons of each software and how we could get the best of both. It just worked for the demo, who cares.
2nd : Is it how people work in all embedded industry ? Giving an illusion of quality to deliver crap, earn time and negotiating time to correct it ?
3rd : There was no time for me to learn how to improve, I was then assigned to another task, kthxbye. Everyone lost money and time. We have to develop features and deliver, quality or not.

I feel tired of trying to convince people, this is how my manager deals with it. I don't believe in those (hidden bad) core values, it stopped being fun. What you guys think I should do ?
Unfortunately, Github was down for a bit. Back up!
So the thing is, low-level Windows APIs (such as CreateFile) have supported forward slashes for a long time. And since libc/posix-ish stuff like fopen() is implemented with that API on Windows, nearly all programming languages are magically forward/backslash agnostic on Windows. As a programmer, this means that in places where it really matters, you're usually just fine with forward slashes.

Many UIs get confused on forward slashes though (file open dialog, stuff like that), and given that the vast majority of people, worldwide, that understand what files and directories are, believe backslashes are the way to go, I doubt MS is ever going to change this.

But from personal experience - I've programmed cross-platform stuff on Windows for very many years, and I never bothered about backslashes. In all honesty I never understood all the open source stuff that comes with DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR global constants or eslint rules that tell you to use path.join() instead of `dir + "/" + subdir`. The forward slash just works, and it has worked for ages.

The only "problem" is that at times you end up concatenating paths together and end up with stuff like

C:\Temp/mydir/2/..\file.txt

That's a bit quirky in log file and in the debugger. But fopen eats it just fine.

Sure there might be cases where this is a problem, probably the libraries I've seen code around backslashes have good reasons, but really for end-programmers it's no biggie.

Now, MAX_PATH, that's something else. That should die in a fire and it blows my mind that it hasn't been addressed yet.

This is true. My sister is a civil engineer on the SMART train - supposed to have been light rail from Fishermans Wharf all the way to Santa Rosa. The Golden Gate Bridge actually has a railway line below it that hasn't been used. But the train will only go to Larkspur ferry because Marin disallowed it.

>Where should we spend our time instead?

That's for you to decide. There's nothing wrong with your project, I just don't see any real-world utility.

>once we modify the AWG to achieve water reclamation from urine, would that be considered novel?

Not at all. It wouldn't even be a "Atmospheric Water Generator" anymore. You would just be putting an evaporator in a closed space with your condenser... This isn't a new or novel technology, and it's already available for public use.

>Not just knowledge of chemistry, but actively developing eyedrops to cure cataracts :)

That's really cool, and I am not doubting her credentials, but it has nothing to do you with your AWG. We're talking about a device that condenses water vapor into liquid water. If you have access to Freon and and a pump (or even ice cubes and a glass) you can achieve the same thing.

Again, I don't take any personal offense to what you're doing. I would never invest in it because I don't think any amount of funding would ever turn this project into a success. It doesn't even address the real issues behind water scarcity, which has nothing to do with a shortage of liquid water...

I have to disagree, I have evaluated the option of throwing my hat in the Model 3 ring, but its not in my DNA to buy a Car without test drive and given that I follow green car news pretty closely, I know too well that the market in 2019 and 2020 is going to be exciting with more choices both in PHEV and BEV world.
