Preorders are also not binding. Depending how long it takes, impatient customers or those who need a new car sooner could look at alternatives.

By the time the Model 3 goes into production, it could face stiff competition from several entrants.

The Model 3 might not have a lot of competition today, but it likely will in a few years time and it remains to be seen how many of the preorder customers will stick with their decision if/when other choices are available.
Yes, we have to improve that. One app is always free (including all its dependencies), we will improve the pricing calculator.
Barclays analyst Brian Johnson, with a bearish $165 price target, believes the surge of Model 3 reservations - each accompanied by a refundable $1,000 deposit - could reach 300,000 by the end of June.

Heh. Elon Musk tweeted earlier today that they already had 276k reservations by the end of Saturday. So Tesla may reach this analyst's "end of June" target tonight.
What prices are high?

One important, central consideration must remain that labor is local. Surely some cities in the US have a labor shortage, and the worse it gets the more financial pressure it puts on the unemployed elsewhere to somehow manage the opportunity cost to immigrate. But the workforce participation rate is at a twenty year low, it is below 1960s levels before women even entered the workforce en masse, and it is continuing to decline.[1]

I'm also curious who is "lazily" not working, and somehow still eating and sleeping under a roof. And then I'd also argue that if you can find people that are refusing to work minimum wage and instead prefer to be homeless, that is probably because they have no negotiating power in wage relations because... there is a glut of labor. If there is work to do, that is valuable, prices will rise to find supply. If the prices will not rise, then you do not have actual demand, you have desire. Money is the only thing that speaks in economics.

In the macrospective economy, I would like to see evidence of unsupplied demand at the minimum wage for child care or construction workers. My father works construction, and there is a tremendous glut of foreign laborers in our area (Eastern PA) that drive wages down straight to the minimum with no benefits. There is a shortage of skilled labor in the industry, but only because the hiring practices of firms has prioritized the unskilled cheap workers and thus drove talent westward. So now there is a shortage of skilled workers, but only at non-competitive pay rates that the skilled workers left because there was a labor glut, with firms simultaneously unwilling to raise rates back up to attract them back.
I hope they can also make this into a common platform for commenting and asking questions about scientific papers.

Yes, there have been efforts that try to accomplish this, but something like this only works well if everybody is using it.

Perhaps wishful thinking, but I believe it would be fantastic if every scientific paper had a "home" on Sci-Hub.
Whether there is a correlation is immaterial. I'm saying that it's immoral and discriminatory to judge an individual by extrapolating from group characteristics.

(And there is a ton of discrimination against Asian and Asian-American tech employees, for instance the degree at which they get promoted to management positions: http://fortune.com/2015/05/06/silicon-valley-asians-report/)
> In fact, we are proud that there's so much interest to the Russian politics, that we are treated as important part of the world and that we do matter.

The only reason Russia "matters" is that it's non-compliant to the Western interests. The only kind of "freely-elected" government that the West would approve of is one that would bend to its wishes. Take a look at Ukraine to see what happens to elected governments that don't.
Not surprised. Last I heard, the Government was floating the idea of turning editorial control of the BBC over to a board of their own appointees: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/mar/14/the-gua...
> I thought here in the west we're assured that we have freedom of press.

Freedom of press does not guarantee freedom from persecution (or prosecution), so the international consortium approach is a much better guarantee for all the information actually getting out.
Those "other things" mean the cost of food, paper, cleaning supplies, etc. that make a restaurant run. Those same materials are made by low wage earners who, if given $15/hour, will drive up the cost of the supplies I use, thus increasing my operating costs.

In general, if new versions of libraries are breaking the ABI or API, the library developer needs to be thoroughly scolded. We are well capable and have the necessary workflows to create ABI and API stable feature releases. If vendors chose not to use these practices to create stable software, we need to criticize them and work to replace developers who don't respect their users enough not to break everything on every release.

Arch, for example, has clang3.5 and clang available because 3.7 was an ABI break. It has gstreamer 0.10 and 1.0 as separate packages because it was an API break. These projects respect these design constraints and should be trustworthy, and notify downstream of breaking issues like that well in advance so packagers can avoid repackaging upgrades expecting smooth transitions. But its unfair to users and developers to use carte blanche policy of freezing everything because some bad apples cannot maintain ABI/API stability.

>Governments hate leaks of all kinds.

Not in the UK. Leaks and "off the record briefings" are practically official government policy.

To me this looks like a rather stupid attempt to promote regime change in Russia. Putin was weakened by the low oil price, and now this has all the signs of a bizarre poli-sci undergraduate plot to push him over the edge.

I'll change my mind if a list of significant British and US pols with Panamanian accounts appears - because any suggestion that there aren't any is frankly risible.
They seem to be funded by Microsoft among others, so certainly evil beyond imagination.
Do you have any suggestion on how to fight it? I mean apart from those "block held" ideas that won't work for me.
I think all of Tesla's cars are profitable, and Model 3 will probably be even more so thanks to all the software "upgrades" Tesla will likely charge for.

The "problem" is Tesla is trying to become the GM or VW of EVs before GM or VW get a chance to use their massive cash cows to dominate the market. So they're trying to cover the market with as many different models as their financials allow them, as well as trying to build the SuperCharger infrastructure globally. All of that R&D and infrastructure costs a lot of money and it has to come from somewhere -> current cars' profits.

To make things even simpler to understand, Tesla will operate on an Amazon model of not giving a damn about quarterly profits for the next decade or two, while building the biggest (Tesla-only) fast-charger network in the world (huge competitive advantage) and at the same time trying to grow as a company as fast as possible and entrench itself in the car market as the Apple of EVs.

Oh, and almost forgot about the whole Gigafactory thing. And one of those isn't even going to be enough by 2020 (don't forget it also has to make PowerWall batteries). That alone cost $5 billion and Tesla couldn't even build it all itself (just goes to show how much money Tesla needs to invest in its future, not pay dividends or brag about its 30%+ profits every quarter).

> Because if you're really running a business then any decision other than just paying the $200 to not have to think about certs more than one day every three years is probably not justifiable.

From the same data I came to the reverse conclusion, having auto-renewing certs from LetsEncrypt is awesome. Combined with bog standard cron jobs you now don't have to worry about any manual intervention down the road.

Compare that with creating a new key, creating a CSR, comparing SSL cert prices, getting aggravated at paying $10/year for 1ms of compute time (to sign the cert), grumbling to yourself, buying the cert, waiting for email confirmation, confirming domain ownership via insecure SMTP email, waiting for the cert to be issued, downloading a zip of the cert that somehow isn't the same name/format as your notes from last time, unzipping the zip file, figuring out the order for the cert chain, uploading it via SCP to your server, copying it over the old cert yet also accidentally keeping a copy of the cert/key in the default ubuntu@myhost home directory with 644 permissions, and finally testing it from your browser (only to find that you didn't send a SIGHUP to nginx so it's still providing the old cert).

So yes, having to think about certs more than one day (the day I set it up) is not justifiable.

PS: Why the hell are you paying $200 anyway? At most it should be $30, i.e. $10/year x 3 years. That looks more in line with wildcard SSL prices.

I don't quite understand your comment, are you saying you are for-or-against feature branches?

Your 2nd paragraph seems to be saying you dislike the git-flow model, but the 3rd suggests you like feature branching?

Anyway to add my 2c, we use hg-flow at work (git-flow for Mercurial), and it works well for us, because all our repos have a consistent feel to a new dev approaching them -- the 'develop/release/hotfix' streams convey a lot of meaning about the repo's state. Though I should point out we are a small team (<10 active devs), and rarely do we encounter bad merges when we finish our feature branches.

However I've listened to a few good podcasts lately about trunk based development [0] [1] and can see the advantages for large teams (as it forces people to deal with merges sooner, and keep code shippable, instead of deferring them to some nasty, big, future merge).

That's still in the public's interest to know about this kind of thing, assuming it is actually illegal.
Defend Elsevier? I think not.

I am currently working with a startup that has to do with prescription drug refilling. Obviously, interactions between drugs and such can have fatal consequences if not understood, so we responsibly are providing that information to our users.

Elsevier provides an API for that data, but wanted to charge around $40k/year for access. Our business model is of course free to users (we charge the pharmacies a modest monthly fee)

$40k/yr simply too damn high...so potentially life-and-health saving information is kept from the people whom need it the most.

Yes we did eventually find a lower cost provider, but as far as shedding tears for Elsevier?

Hell fucking no.

Yup. I've found it to be pretty useless for exactly that reason.

Omniref looks awesome. In my experience one of the biggest bottlenecks for getting things done is understanding code bases - wether it's new hires, working with a new repo at your company, or digging into an open source library you use to figure out a bug. I often wish I had better context for why things were done the way they were. Integrating PR comments, and other annotations, into the code, in a way that's easy to browse, sounds incredibly helpful. I will definitely check it out.

What's a BCI, and how does VR affect this?
I take no ethical issues with the concept of taxes and funding things that are in the common interest of the country.

What I do take issue with is the fact that I don't think my tax dollars are being used as effectively as they should be, not just because I don't feel like I get proportionate value from what they're supposedly funding, but more importantly I dont think anyone is.

I think by and large the world runs on incentives, and I don't think that the people whose job it is to allocate the resources obtained through taxes have the kind of skin in the game that's necessary to make decisions in the long term best interest of all parties involved. Anytime you have a scenario where a organization of people in society unbounded by naturally selective forces, waste and misallocation of resources will take place. It would make me feel a lot better if my taxes were going towards a system characterized by bottom up trial and errors rather than grand design, and unfortunately I think the latter best describes how our country appropriates tax dollars to our collective benefit.

As for your other question, I think there is something fundamentally fair about the concept of proportionality. I don't think its the job or role of taxation to act as punishment, because it's not as "fair" for someone making 50k a year to pay 20% in taxes to pay the same 20% as someone making 500k. I find great injustice in this idea, as I want to live in a society that seeks to empower people to become the best that they can, in a spiritual and economic sense. Not send the message that those who've achieved economic success somehow have engaged in a misdeed they have to pay or make up for.

It'd be great if it were implemented as a peer-to-peer protocol as it'd make taking the service down much more difficult.

EDIT:

Although making the service completely peer-to-peer might be impossible, it is possible to distribute articles in a peer-to-peer way. I'm considering an architecture which consists of a peer-to-peer network to share articles, and servers to download articles and put them on the network. In this architecture, even if all the servers got taken down at least the articles which have been shared would be accessible provided that the peer-to-peer network is alive.
On the other hand, hierarchical-state-machine (like FSM, with hierarchy), are often used in embedded systems(including safety-critical systems) and are considered among the more reliable and bug-free methodologies.

So maybe we shouldn't rule-out FSM's but be subtle in their use ?
It would make sense to provide some.

Example problem could be that both JavaScript strings and std::string can have '\0' bytes in them. Converting them like in the post would lead to string truncation if a null byte was present somewhere in the middle of a string.

So it should be something like (error checking aside):
v8::String::Utf8Value s(args[0]);
std::string str(*s, s.length());
There is no particularly strong legal basis for "freedom of press" in the UK. While recent history has had the press being largely unhindered by the government, our history is one of strict restrictions that have been gradually relaxed over the centuries.

There are plenty of reasons why Russia matters, and non-compliance is not the one of them. To name few: nuclear weapons, vast natural resources (including fresh water), great cultural heritage. And quite good representation in tech, btw. The West is not a Satan, like some ayatollas would say, and Russia is not the Last Fortress standing against his armies.
As for Ukraine, unfortunately it is the failed state, that is severely (almost deadly) damaged by corruption - it has nothing to do with Western or Russian interests, first of all it's the failure of Ukrainian people to get rid of crooks (just like the failure of Russian people to do the same), and only then there are the sides that would like to play with it.

> I don't think anyone who has written such a book has ever made a significant profit from it. The attitude among researchers in my field, at least, is that all such books are a labor of love.

I don't think it's necessarily so altruistic - there are a number of benefits to writing a book that go beyond the monetary incentive.

That said, yes, these authors almost never even cover their own expenses (opportunity cost) when writing these books, let alone turn a profit. The "real" profits[0] go to the publishers.

[0] if any! Publishers operate like venture firms in this regard - they make most of their money off of the blockbuster hits, and there's a long tail of books that are unprofitable or very close to unprofitable.

Sampling profilers in general are terrible. Unfortunately I can't get code instrumenting profilers to work on the eclipse process.

The worst thing about the JVM aprofiler won't tell you about how much time the JVM spends JITing/class loading. For short running processes you might be surprised to find that the profiler tells you everything is okay but in my case the program still needed one second to start.

I was pleasantly suprised that the equivalent python programm merely needs 100ms from start to finish (essentially feeling instant) even though it should be slower overall.

How I Became a JavaScript Rock Star
I wrote some software that counts the number of comments made on PRs on GitHub, and then posts the results to our company slack channel: https://github.com/JesseAldridge/code_review_scoreboard

I think that having visibility into who's actually putting effort into code reviews is the first step toward getting everyone to put in more effort.

Note that I'm the only one currently using the above software, and it works on my machine... but it will likely take a bit of work to make it work on yours.
Local government. There's a world of opportunity that exists at the intersection of municipal politics and public outreach-even if it means using existing services and platforms to do things like publishing City Council Meetings to YouTube.

I'm watching my local town do this right now with the aid of a friend. I asked him "Why not just hire an intern or borrow a paralegal from the county solicitor's office?" and he schooled me on how he's delivering more than just a pair of hands to upload content but actually building a whole communications platform.

I was rather enthralled with the concept until he called himself a "social media mercenary", then I just rolled my eyes and had another beer :P

Joking aside, government in small towns I am noticing are slowly waking up to the need for tech-or can easily be convinced to bring in startup-type tools and procedures for public facing endeavors.

This is just another example of having a hammer makes everything look like a nail. The title was very clearly biased... that "older" generation can't understand modern technologies. But we had plenty of people here to defend women, even when they don't need it.
