altruism or morality or may be people just want to be nice to each other...

Economics is not a zero-sum game.

Civilization is a new idea. May be we are all learning from the past and working towards a better future.
Yes, its morally wrong to take advantage of young workers (arguably in violation of labor law).
That doesn't make sense. A business wants to have as few union workers as possible. If they only give raises to union members then everyone will want to join a union further putting the business during negotiations in a even worse position than just raising the wages for everyone.
Thats pretty standard in the upper-end of car purchasing, Ferrari, new models from BMW or Mercedes. All dealers hold waitlists -- its just likely you've never purchased a model that has one.

Also Windows had huge lines... the iconic photo: http://i.imgur.com/oc2EDhE.jpg?fb
It is fairly ugly, but it also allows you to drop in your own css file. It's not a 100% solution, but you can go a fairly long way towards making it more usable.
You show a poor understanding of Musk's track record.

I just don't get people who hold this opinion. What exactly do you think is going to happen?

Do you envision Tesla admitting, say Q2 2018, "Serious supply shortages continue to prevent us delivering on the Model 3, we now hope for Q1 2019 delivery," and ultimately just go out of business, meanwhile competitors suddenly come up with incredibly compelling cars that they've somehow never managed to create before? Is that really the outcome you anticipate??

This is the same guy who's now successfully landed rockets . . . but you think manufacturing cars will be unachievable for him, even after Tesla has continually demonstrated rapidly climbing production and sales of the S and X?????
I think he already made a strong point why CONIKS style transparency isn't all that great for end-users. See this mailing list thread that includes the author of CONIKS talking about it with moxie before CONIKS was published:

Basically, users change their identity key in practice so often that a 3rd-party can't be the source of truth on whether a MITM has happened. Only the user can audit that and most users are not equipped to do so. So, towards the goal of universal e2e messaging its not clear that key transparency is a real win over the simplicity of trust-on-first-use.
So according to your research, which comparable large luxury vehicle sells more than the Model S?
"it defeated the purpose."

Unless said purpose was reducing pollution emissions.
I wouldn't exactly be calling it a victory till we see how this affects labor numbers. Maybe 20M will now be unemployed over the next 5 years.
This has to be about the jillionth time, here in HN comments to ageism-related stories, that I've seen it either asserted, implied, or tangentially-suggested that older developers have most likely spent their prior years working mostly in COBOL or with similar outdated technologies. Their experience will almost certainly be at megacorps ("culture" mismatch!) and they've been avoiding new technologies and approaches because they're either pleased with COBOL or content to sit fat and happy and collect a paycheck like drones. They can safely be assumed to be stagnating because an older person is after all unlikely to care about their craft after some point in their careers.

The assertion/implication/suggestion is absurd and only perpetuates the stereotype that competence and relevance and value are inversely correlated with age. I'm not exactly young, have very little experience working at megacorps, and have a lot of experience working at startups and at very small companies. I do consulting (no, not COBOL, not at megacorps), am constantly learning, and do a lot of coding for fun, both on side-projects and in the course of volunteer hacking. I don't have any reason to believe, none, that I'm not representative of most technical workers my age. No reason, that is, other than reading suggestions to the contrary here on HN.

Edit: grammar, content
Thanks for that. I think there are two possible reasons:

1. I don't think the moderators agree with me either. :-)

2. My mood is not good when I have allergy problems which makes me easily trolled.

Edit: OK, there is a third reason. They are vim users and so have no sense of humour. :-)

(For the record: Some people I really admire are vim users; I have even seen some really cool guys connect their computers for holding a presentation I look forward to -- and realized they use Windows! Don't generalize.)
Can I have serious cryptanalytic audits first? Because virtually nothing has that. At least I trust what Signal Protocol is trying to do!
It's fair enough to note that IT may not own these systems, but they still have to interact with IT infrastructure at some point. But you're also right that politics can make things much more difficult than they should be.

The article doesn't specifically state that any airports or other sites are vulnerable, just that they could be.
However it seems like only h2 (HTTP/2 over TLS) is supported and not h2c (HTTP/2 over TCP with upgrade handshake) or HTTP/2 with prior knowledge.

It's a bit unfortunate that because of the decision of the browser vendors to support only HTTP/2 over TLS (for valid reasons) now a lot of libraries and tools support only that mode. For lots of other applications HTTP/2 without TLS would be helpful too.
Ugh, just looking at that graph makes me feel anxious.
> Why shouldn't I call my branch for integrating code... integration, or something?

You can :-) gitflow is just a pattern, the names of the branches are an implementation detail. Just using develop here as it's the name used in the parent's question.

> A very typical scenario is when a new dev joins the project, hacks happily on branch forked from master and finally submit the PR with fixes which were already done..

Gitflow like any branching strategy requires that people using it understand it first, to work. Obviously it's always better to craft these things in ways which help people fall into the pit of success, but if you have new devs just cloning a project, branching however they assume is ok and then fixing bugs that others are working on etc, without once asking a question or being instructed in even the simplest way on what to do (saying 'we use gitflow on this project, development branch is called X' in the readme for example), that's a problem that no branching strategy is going to solve!

I think the author refers to "It's a duesy", which refers to the brand Duesenberg [0], once the builder of the most luxurious cars on the planet, now very rare and very valuable collectables.

Or if the GPS guiding the driver to the location would take into account side-of-street so they come in on the right side in the first place. In jurisdictions where U-turns are legal (California) it's less of a problem, but often them taking a slightly later turn before they 'arrive' would get them to me faster than the fastest direct route and then finding a parking lot to turn around in.

DC, Maryland, Virgina. Also known as the Washington metropolitan area (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_metropolitan_area). Delaware doesn't have much of a tech sector.
I don't think that's what he's saying. I think we are talking past each other, myself included.

a) cole seems to specifically be talking about very wealthy people who did work and earn money in the US but who renounced citizenship largely for tax purposes (e.g. Eduardo Saverin)

b) cole talks about the foreign-earned income exclusion, which is misplaced (for people like (a) this is very different from income earned on investments and for wealth which is subject to the exit tax)

There's a smattering of outright incorrect things too like having to pay taxes for 10 years after renouncing.
How would that solve the problem?
Does this mean Whatsapp do peer-to-peer message transfer or messages still pass through whatsapp servers?
Excellent! 3 questions:

- What if the government forces WhatsApp to write and push a targeted software update in order to compromise the end-to-end encryption (I'm of course thinking of the FBI vs Apple case)? Is there a way for the user to be notified?

- Does WhatsApp Auto Backup encrypt messages before sending them to Google Drive or iCloud?

- Would it be possible for WhatsApp Web to rely on backend servers storing an encrypted version of messages, instead of relying on a connection to the user's phone, and still be able to perform keyword search over the encrypted messages with something like github.com/strikeout/mylar?
Yeah, there are many other external tools that can accomplish this. Piping directly to Vim just allows us install one less.
Shameless plug for the weekly Swift newsletter I put together: http://www.swiftnews.co
You've posted about this "waveform" idea before, and to be honest it seems like you are making a big deal out of the obvious fact that each newly found prime eliminates some possible greater numbers from the search by being a factor.

With friendly intentions, I have to tell you that you risk sounding like a math crank.
The last two times I used a taxi in SF, the driver scanned my card using a Square Reader. I presume they are using their personal accounts to avoid some of the hassle of the official taxi card readers. I also presume that the taxi companies might not like that.
This is a huge deal for folks outside the US. Within the US, it's hard to imagine folks turning away from a television and onto a monitor/phone/tablet to watch football. Football feeds straight into the average American's robust average 4 hours of daily television viewing (1). Before you ask about cord-cutters, note that reliable numbers are relatively weak on that end (2).

The original Twitter NFL Highlights deal served a strategic purpose for the firm. This new deal looks like an advertising campaign to buy Twitter some much needed, new US mindshare.

I am a little sad that Yahoo didn't win, having watched the Bills Jags game in London over the stream. It was really really high quality and well done. It was great to watch too.

I'm just happy to see the wheels start moving on sports to get them off of cable, though. Football looks like the one last reason a lot of people haven't become cable cutters
I haven't actually used a Tesla, but based on just screenshots... they really need a designer for their software. I mean, it had gradients.

That's why I'm kinda hoping Apple ups their game and makes car navigation work. No reason why they couldn't use smartphone hardware and just keep it in low power standby.
Thank you for the feedback, this is awesome!

There is always more to read up on and calculate :)

EDIT: The current dehumidifier does accumulate ice on the evaporator coils, depending on the ambient conditions. Once enough ice has accumulated, the compressor turns off and the ice melts into the collection tray. I'm assuming we have to depose the ice out of the dry atmosphere at BRC, since the dew point is below the freezing point of water. Is this not the case?
> The model S dominates when it comes to acceleration

There are multiple Model S here. The P85D which "dominates" acceleration has a curb weight of 5000lbs and likely handles like a boat. (The typical F150 truck actually weighs less than the Model S P85D).

The older, more typical Model S, have Zero-to-Sixty scores in the 5-seconds to 6-seconds range, which is easily bested by the Subaru WRX STI.

The Model S probably wins on rolling-start 5-to-sixty, as the ICE engines won't be able to rev-high and drop the clutch.

Only Model S P85D "dominates" in acceleration, and that car comes with its own compromises.

> road (!= track) handling due to the low center of gravity

Model S measures .87g for road holding according to Car and Driver (http://www.caranddriver.com/tesla/model-s), while the other cars I was talking about are all easily above .9+g. I'm unsure which model it is, I can only assume that's a more typical Model S as opposed to the heavier-than-a-Toyota-Sienna swagger-wagon P85D.

Electric vehicles are heavy, and that negatively plays into its performance characteristics.

> You have to keep in minds that the model S is a 4 door, 2 trunk luxury sedan, not a race car.

Indeed. But if you want to step into the arena of "high performance", what better comparison is there than a standardized track?

As for the apples-to-apples comparison, try 1:40 for the Cadillac CTS-V Sedan on the Leguna Seca, while 1:48 seems to be the best time for the Model S. Luxury sports sedan vs Luxury sports sedan, both are $85,000+ large cars claiming awesome performance after all.

Thanks for trying it - I'll look into both the spam issue and the duplicate emails. Did you send the email to yourself? Maybe it's not handling that properly. The spam report is very helpful.
I think that is why people (Venter et al) are trying to build a minimal bacteria -- good starting point for synthetic biology work.
Why is the price or reliability of a Mercedes CLS relevant to whether or not a Model S is expensive (which is certainly is)?

I'm not saying the CLS isn't more expensive, or less reliable, I just don't know what that has to do with anything.
How the 11.5M Panama Papers were analysed
yes, it is like... a motorcycle, but with as much torque as you could ever want. the app that lets you adjust torque curve and regen settings is wonderful if a bit wonky (I wish the volt had this!). The mileage is what it is, its not stellar but you can do >125mi if you are gentle on the throttle or <50 if you gun it. The only hiccup is the damn cost...I just can't justify the cost for a toy with such limited range.
Why MIPS instead of ARM or Power (e.g. Talos)?
That's great news - secure-by-default is a huge thing, since it makes encrypted communication more normal. If most of your real-time communication is encrypted, then when and to whom you used encrypted communication isn't leaking valuable information.

The next step is some kind of noise injection into the metadata. There are almost certainly ways to look at who is chatting with who when. It'd be fantastic to automatically generate realistic-looking traffic to hide the normal stuff within. Plus, you'd be adding deniability to any communication you're having.

There's likely some pretty severe battery usage issues with it. If you offload the metadata fuzzing to a proxy server of some sort, then you're adding a vector to filter out that fuzz. It might be too big of a technical tradeoff to be worthwhile.
Sure, but also that it's still a "semi-noob illusion" regardless of how long you've been here.

Designing Front-End Components
When using GitHub Pages, the server -> CloudFlare goes over unauthenticated HTTPS (using the HTTPS "not strict" option), which means it is resistant to passive attackers but vulnerable to active MITM attackers.
I recommend Vegeta. It's super easy to configure and you can install it with a single binary. You can produce as much load as your Open File Descriptor limit, CPU/Memory, or Network pipe can handle using a single instance of this program.
Eh, its a yomi thing. At level 1 you want to run a node because the police will ignore you. It doesn't become a bad play until the police are on level 2.
Makes sense. These days the inquisitive hacker stereotype is no longer relevant, diluted by the masses flocking to the tech fad ("hacker" now redefined to replace "code monkey", so cool) which in turn results in the tech industry having more fads as it comprises mostly people with a tendency to jump on a fad.
OR, you could use already well-established key servers, e.g. pgp.mit.edu. Why reinvent the wheel?
Has twitter ever streamed anything before? Are they gonna partner with some streaming provider to actually make it work?
Thanks, the demo review is now much easier to read.

Also, now that you've reset it, all the diff ranges are now defaulting to the widest view instead of defaulting to just the current revision. Given that I can no longer reproduce it, I'm not sure there's any more detail I can add (beyond the fact that I'm using Safari 9.1 on OS X 10.11.4).
There are two NCs.

One is currently in power; the rural, poor, uneducated.

The other is more modern. We live in cities and we want our homes to be good places to live for all people.

You can view maps of this state and how it votes, and the places this law will negatively impact (places where modern industry might have otherwise come) did not vote for this.

There is a war here: rural versus urban. The rural counties are in control and they siphon off tax revenues from the cities. They strip the cities of any local autonomy (not just in this issue) both fiscally and socially.

You can say "the people voted for this" but the people who voted for it are not negatively impacted by it (except that there will be less tax revenue in the cities they can siphon off of).

I'd point out that California has had first hand experience in this regard as well - with Proposition 8. The happy ending to that story defied the will of the Californian people.

Lament the laws of NC, but don't paint us all with the same brush.

I'm not sure if it's related, but IIRC there was a lot of complaining when BMW first introduced drive-by-wire throttles (E46 3 series)
Anyone else suspect they didn't just scan them, but installed some back-door/fork?
No. Signal would probebly like to add Federation as a feature but they have not done so (yet?). So even if Whatsapp would be down to do it, what I don't think, then their would still be a technical issue.

Actor is a messanger that seems to focus on federation and they want to use Singal Protocol as well. So maybe they will devlop software for that. However their is still the issue if Whatsapp would want to do that.
Sorry, I'm committing from The Git Merge conference and didn't have the time. It should render OK. Feel free to submit a merge request to fix it.
Creating Your Life Dashboard
>does anyone have experience using a fraud detection API, like Maxmind's minFraud

We tried MaxMind, for our use case it was pretty useless. The feature that sort of worked which we considered using was the geo-location stuff. Our idea was to see how close a customer was to where the goods where to be sent. Sadly the countries we operate in are to small, and IP location is to inaccurate.

As a test we ran a couple of months worth of fraudulent order data through MaxMind, with a success rate of 100%.

The best solutions we found is:
- Block cards not issued in the country where you operate. This shield us from poor credit card security in countries like the US.
- Enabled 3D Secure. This blocks all the amateurs
- Manually call customers ordering for large amounts.

Generally speaking it's very difficult to tell the difference between a fraudulent order and a first time customer.
Plenty of people would debate whether those programs are a net benefit.

If your investor has to pimp your idea for you then that probably means it's a dud. The idea of Brand Bots seems really impersonal. I would want Bots for quickly getting through the things I hate doing (returns, troubleshooting) but not for getting coupons by scanning a "Bot sticker" (fancy QR code?).
The problem places have with lack of good water; is a lack of money. Not a lack of water.

Guesses as I don't know which specific models you're referring to:

The parent's lack of throttle response is most likely due to turbo lag. Modern cars are getting better with variable vein turbos.

If your Mom's Mercedes suffers from poor throttle response I'd guess it's because she purchased one with a small engine relative to the size of the vehicle. A C230, for example, isn't the sportiest of cars. A C63, however, does not suffer from poor throttle response.
If Twitter forces you to login to view this free stream, I feel like this could be significant for their user growth. If they are able to keep these users engaged by getting them started with users to follow, I think this could be very successful for them.

The pricing is also very interesting. Rumors are around $10 million for all the games (http://recode.net/2016/04/05/twitter-beats-amazon-verizon-fo...). The other bids were definitely higher, but I think this was a smart decision by the NFL. If Twitter can pull the live stream off with their strong live social capability, it would be great for both parties.

Disclaimer: The IF that twitter can pull of the live stream is a significant IF, not to be underestimated.
Well, you have to take the legislation in its context, which obviously I don't have to explain to you. You can't just compare Québec with the American South (read some Charles Taylor for more detail as to why). As for getting a negative experience when speaking English, that really depends on where you are in the city, but I'm surprised you'd get "lesser" treatment. I agree there are assholes everywhere.

My own experience on the Anglo side of town (i.e. further west of St-Laurent), is that a lot of people simply cannot speak French, but will usually understand you, and the conversation can be had in two languages simultaneously. I wouldn't consider this "negative" treatment, but it's definitely not ideal for social cohesion.

In the end, someone has to make the effort of learning another language, and that annoys some people.
I've been working on a code-review tool that does exactly what you want: https://www.omniref.com/code_review

It works seamlessly with GitHub, and provides code reviews that end up "sticking" to your code, and documenting its development. Every pull request you create can become a review automatically, or you can pick-and-choose which pull requests to review. And you don't lose reviews or comments when you push to a branch under review.

Also, it lets you dive into the history of a single line of code. For example, here's a line from GitHub's libgit project, annotated with the pull request that created it:
