It's fine if you want to express a differing opinion. Where we have a problem is when you say stuff like "you need ICE." That's not a differing opinion, that's you making a blanket statement that includes me and is clearly wrong. Having a differing opinion is fine, trying to force that opinion on people who aren't you is a problem. Had you said, "It's not for me, I don't like stopping that often" then I wouldn't have even felt a need to reply. You talk about Tesla owners dismissive of anybody who prefers to drive an ICE, but I didn't do that. In fact, I explicitly called out a set of drivers who would have good reason not to like road trips in a Tesla. You're the one dismissing people who disagree, not me.

And then here you go, telling me about hypothetical numbers you've run for an actual trip I did. You want to know what mansplaining means? That's a perfect example. You're explaining something to me that I already know and that you know I know, and acting like you know it better than I do. You conclude that whole thing with "You have now arrived 1.5 hours later than I did" as if this is some sort of interesting new fact. I already said in my comment that charging slows you down by 10-15%. So what's even the point of restating that?

You actually stop more often for somewhat less time, because you charge faster at the lower end of the battery. Ideally, you arrive at 0% and charge just enough to get to the next charger. In reality you want a margin, but typical stops are more like arriving at 10-20% and leaving with 70%. I believe we stopped to charge 7 times on the way down, and 9 times on the way back (one extra was because we detoured to Orlando, and one was unnecessary but we stopped at the Costco in Woodbridge, VA and decided to take advantage).

What do you do at each stop? Well on the way down, at Richmond we bought a Christmas present. That stop was definitely just lost time. At Rocky Mount, we had lunch. At Lumberton, we used the bathroom and bought some snacks. At Santee we had dinner. At Savannah we didn't have much to do. The next day, we stopped at Kingsland, used the bathroom, and waited. At Port Orange, we had lunch. At West Palm Beach, we waited.

Is it ideal? Obviously not. Is it perfectly fine for many people? Yep. You mention Tesla's battery swap program. Do you know why it died? Because it's just not very popular among owners. Superchargers are good enough. They actually built a swap station along the busy LA-SF corridor, and it just doesn't get enough use to justify expansion.

Now, if you take a look at my description of the stops and say, ouch, that's not what I'd want to do, then that's totally fine. Just don't try to tell me what I need. If you find it "incredibly awkward" to point out to Tesla owners that this sort of thing isn't good enough for everybody, maybe it's because you're saying that it isn't good enough for anybody. If that's not what you intended to say, then you need to work on how you're saying it.
Venezuela's capital, Caracas, could be about to go dark
SiteDocs is hiring junior and senior programmers to join our REMOTE team, working on web and mobile applications for the construction industry. (SiteDocs headquarters are near Vancouver, but our dev team is spread throughout Canada and North America.)

We're a growing B2B start-up with dozens of employees, thousands of users, and real revenue. Our mobile applications are built with Xamarin, and our web app is built with React, but we don't necessarily care if you've worked with either before as long as you're a good programmer who's interested in (and reasonably good at) learning new things.

A job at SiteDocs means:

* Being responsible for your own piece of the product. We're a relatively small team, and our product is relatively young, so the features and components you build will have a meaningful impact on our users' experiences.

* The opportunity to teach (for senior developers) and to learn (for junior developers). Our company values continuous learning, and as a dev team we are more than happy to hire and train programmers right out of university (or self taught, etc).

* Market salary. However, we're a Canadian company and our dollar is not doing very well these days, so it is currently difficult for us to pay in markets that demand more than $100k USD. I know that's a completely reasonable salary, but we're just not there at the moment and don't want to waste your time :) As a remote team, it is more feasible for us to hire people in low cost-of-living areas and paying them slightly above-market for their location.

If you'd like to talk, please email dave.noel@sitedocs.com with "HN Hiring" in the subject line.

Sure they do. They know + and -. We use those for the same reason. We could use add(3,4) but we don't (usually).
It doesn't require you to use it. Microsoft requires it to make their Azure platform viable. Microsoft couldn't just have a Windows based cloud platform, it requires Linux to succeed...which is exactly what I meant.
Oh, no, I don't disagree with you and the culture of celebrating spending every waking hour writing code is harmful. But, also, if someone asked me that and I wasn't totally desperate I would be dropping out of consideration at that point.
> That's just flawed reasoning all around.

Starting with a blanket blaming statement isn't that great either. Conversion rates and e-commerce sorta go together, so I would say it's fine to entangle them logically. Tor exit nodes entangle users with each other through an IP. If someone's lens is limited, they'll run the risk of blanket blaming the legitimate traffic as well.
Some people would not prefer that this information about them is easily publicly available like that, as I mentioned in my other comment about how this has come up in job interviews in a negative way.

MyDoc, https://my-doc.com | Singapore, ONSITE, VISA | Android, iOS, ReactJS

MyDoc is a healthcare communications startup – providing doctors, patients and businesses with the opportunity to manage their healthcare systems reliably and efficiently. We will be launching a new platform in the next few weeks, and are looking for several new developers to join our engineering team.

Our ideal candidate has experience building modern front-end apps with ReactJS, Android, or iOS. She cares deeply about UI/UX, and is motivated to learn new technologies and to reflect on best practices. As a front-end developer you would be working on a well-designed, modern chat app for the healtcare industry.

At MyDoc we use ReactJS, Java, Objective-C, Swift, Clojure, PHP/Laravel, MySQL, and RabbitMQ. If you have years of experience with all of these then that would be a plus, but we'll also happily hire developers who have a sound theoretic background and want to broaden their horizons.

If this sounds interesting, send me your résumé or CV. You can find my email address in my HN profile.

My high school started at 730 am. They always gave bus scheduling as the reason they couldn't have a later start. Basically, the district only had so many buses to allocate for pick-ups, and would stagger start times to make sure the bus count was minimized.
It's interesting that angry exclusionary interests have not had more traction among liberals. For example, there's nothing like Fox News to attract and organize such dissatisfied folk on the liberal side. (MSNBC has tiny viewership by contrast to Fox, and no democrat leaders have insisted on interviewing ONLY at MSNBC, unlike Fox. The same goes for talk radio.)

Historically, extremists on the liberal side have focused more on policy than personality, like Sanders, Ralph Nader, Dennis Kucinich, and to a lesser extent, Jesse Jackson. These guys aren't populists. They promote the interests of folk who are below average economically and civilly, raising their prospects upward toward the mean, rather than promoting the economic or moral interests of those already in the mainstream.

IMHO, that difference is less likely to attract megalomaniacs, like Trump.
April fools joke aside, I'd actually use this, but it doesn't seem to fully work. Most articles would not resolve for me and welcome page was joke content.

Actually, I got it wrong as well, because it's really CloudFlare.
I agree if it's touchscreen on laptop with no other form factor then it might be a gimmick. However, the ability to use a pen on my lenovo and later surface had a huge impact on the way I did math throughout grad school. Essentially, it gave me unlimited scratch paper which was automatically stored, tagable and organizable.
I think I am seeing a very interesting trend here on HN. The submissions that allow commenters to make fun of China tend to get a lot of attention than other submissions that are not strictly related to technology.

No coverage on terrorism or tragedies around the world, but a piece of news about a country trying to fight rumors by banning a foreign holiday gets onto the front page. If you actually study a bit about China, you would know that rumors are a huge problem and people are not cautious enough to verify them before getting tricked into believing them.

People just love making fun of China, aren't they?
> 5) A report by CloudFlare competitor Akamai found that the percentage of legitimate e-commerce traffic originating from Tor IP addresses is nearly identical to that originating from the Internet at large. (Specifically, Akamai found that the "conversion rate" of Tor IP addresses clicking on ads and performing commercial activity was "virtually equal" to that of non-Tor IP addresses).

This point seems rather odd. I'm not following the connection between a large percentage of Tor requests being malicious and the fact that Tor users have almost the same conversion rate. Malicious requests are coming from botnets and/or fraudsters. They're, for the most part, not in the subset of Tor users which click ads or do anything else that would be tracked as part of a site's conversion rate. What's funny about this is that the linked report even confirms that requests from exit nodes are far more likely to be malicious:

Tor exit nodes were far more likely to contain malicious requests:
• 1:11,500 non-Tor IPs contained malicious requests
• 1:380 Tor exit nodes contained malicious requests

I'm a huge supporter of Tor and have been running a relay node for years, but it seems their stance on this topic is quite fundamentalist and they chose to ignore any arguments or facts that they don't like while basically grasping at straws in their counterarguments.

It's okay to be concerned about CloudFlare having such a huge market share. They're a huge target for nation states and others alike. Global passive¹ adversaries are a problem for things like Tor, and they might very well be forced to become one at some point. It's essential to have more competition in this area, and that's a fair argument to make. However, with regards to how they're handling Tor, I don't think there's anything wrong with what they're doing, and the explanations presented in their blog post seemed sound to me.

¹ Or, rather, possibly an active adversary too?

I look at it like this, your employer thinks "fair" is paying employees the least amount the employee will accept. Negotiating a higher rate doesn't change the nature of that relationship. It's still an arms-length labor versus management context.

In my experience some employees actually like that kind of relationship. Others don't. Decide on what's really valuable to you.

Good luck.
Cloudflare's purpose is to make money. If anyone thinks they are here to help make the world better, that's a naive view. Tor's purpose is to help people access data that may be inaccessible to them without it and to help guard against invasion of privacy. While those things can be used for illicit purposes (as shown by the amount of rouge traffic on Tor exit nodes) the return on quality of life for the whole is greatly improved. Tor literally makes the world a better place, regardless of the fact malicious traffic also comes out of it.

Cloudflare does not make the world better for everyone, but it does a great job of making the world better for those who have access to resources, such as dedicated IPs and venture capitalists.

Capitalism has failed, and it's starting to force that fail onto the Internet in a big way. We need to be smarter about how we approach building trusted infrastructure. All that starts with how we approach building infrastructure companies.

If it's an infrastructure service model and it ain't bootstrapped and sustainable, don't use it.
Also Tor, not TOR...

A YC company in 2013, True Link Financial is an SF-based financial services company that believes in quality financial services for all: from protecting grandma’s money from scammers to providing supplemental financial tools that support disabled Veterans.

85% of our work is in Rails, 10% is in Java, and about 5% is DevOps—AWS, multiple SSL & IPSec VPNs, encryption, security, etc.

Our technology suite is complex, geographically distributed, and must be both secure and robust to protect our customers, more so than your typical startup.

Did we mention that we built an IVR for customer service, and handle customer incoming customer requests via SMS, too?

If you’re a nice person who has worked on hairy, wacky production full-stack code before, let’s talk.

You should be someone who can make things better without being rude, judgmental or arrogant about it.

Rockstars need not apply; session musicians only.

> similar fast charging capability at suitable chargers

All the DC quick chargers in the US have CHAdeMO plugs, while the Bolt will use the SAE Combo plug. Right now there's no US network of fast chargers the Bolt can use at all. The Nissan Leaf is the only non-Tesla EV on the road in meaningful numbers, and it uses CHAdeMO, which is why that's all anyone built.

>> let's not pretend our undergraduate degrees are anything more than a rubber stamp.

May be at the school you studied at. Having taught / studied at Cornell (a highly ranked CS school) and Syracuse (ranked ~50th in USA) there is a huge gap between difficulty & level of effort required in undergraduate courses. Ignoring it as if its just a rubber stamp is a huge mistake. Honestly while there were several good students at Syracuse, I can frankly attest that even an average CS Major at Cornell is better than the 90% of students at Syracuse.
I wonder if this is to prevent it from stealing sales from the higher priced models - would as many BMW M3s get sold if the base 3 series was as quick?
But that would only be possible from the same process space, right? So only applicable for plugins etc.?

What I'd like to see is hotpatching the function for another process, but I guess that's very hard to do with ASLR. Probably doable with some tricks, though.

Edit: Come to think of it, gdb is able to attach to a running process w/o debug symbols and find function addresses. So in other words, I just need to dig into and grok the gdb source.
