I bought a used 2012-SL with 15K miles for about $10K last year. Got a $500 EV charger on Amazon, and installed it for $125. I loved my first test drive in an EV and really don't want to go back to a conventional car as my daily driver. The 5-year-old battery only gets 70-some miles to a charge on a good day, so I'm looking forward to something longer range in the next year. That limits me to either a Bolt or a plug-in hybrid like the Volt. I'm leaning toward the Bolt, especially if I can get my hands on one before winter is in full swing.
Or the stability. Open sourcing certain code may literally lead to insanity! I think this was just poorly word-smithed and the "correct" interpretation would only apply the protection of security to personnel.
Xero is a paid service - but a real company with over 600,000 paying customers, $200m ACMR and is listed.
And it has an API, bank support etc.
I was skeptical until we visited our friend who own one. Our friend is blind and that's why they bought it, but it was fun to use and actually useful.
Yup, they can do that, but there's not a single one installed in the US and I doubt there will be when the Bolt is released.

Also now you've got a bunch of chargers installed and you don't know which ones are 45kW, 60kW and 100kW. With Superchargers you know that you'll have 120kW chargers at each location.

Its your conference and you decide who you your speakers are. But I, for one, appreciate being exposed to "non aligned" viewpoints and those that spruik them, even if only to re-affirm my biases.

As a rule I object to being censored, on any grounds. I'm going to assume that all inquisitive open-minded people will have the same objections.

So I actually tried the Japanese dinner they talk about with my wife and can attest that it's a truly unique experience. However I can also imagine it's hit and miss depending on who you end up eating with.

It's almost like being invited to a dinner party where you know very few people. If you are lucky the people you meet are great.

I eat out quite a and have eaten anywhere from Noma to French Laundry, Eleven Madison etc. and you can't really compare it. It's two very different experience.
It's much better to use any of the numerous SIMD wrappers such as libsimdpp or Vc and get various benefits for free. It's possible to target everything from SSE and NEON to AVX512 with what is essentially a single code path.
I've seen a test version of the Model X driving around San Francisco. Its looks are pretty retch. I'm not going to say it will be a flop, but its sales won't be anything close to the 3 nor S.

If they're smart, they'll cancel it in year 3.
Coverage will come, the leaks started later in the day in the US.

As for no American politicians or businessmen, it can be explained by sample size:

The USA might have their own internal money dirty money path. Or maybe the tax haven of choice is another country for the US. Maybe the IRS has specific rules for Panama?

That this one company has skew/bias in the origin of its clients does not surprise me at all.

If we had variety of leaks from different money fixers from different countries; say from the Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Singapore, UAE, Monaco, Lebanon, Puerto Rico, Belize; and no US scandal, I would be very surprised.
They know what they are doing with regard to expensive, luxury, low-production volume vehicles. The question is whether they know how to scale and make money.
EDIT: quote at 20:40. Not a response to the question.

Do you have a timestamp for this quote? It would be interesting to hear the context--what was said before and after. Was this a response to a question?
I've been writing code for 4 years now but have 17 years cooking experience, 11 in Michelin star restaurants and 6 as a private mega yacht chef. I have all professional small equipment in my home kitchen and the kitchen and dinning room are the same.[1] I am set up.

People tell me to do a food sharing experience for the public and I quickly say no. First, I don't want strangers in my house especially if they are drinking. It's illegal to sell alcohol. It's illegal to sell food without health inspection and license. I've never in my entire career have had someone come back to me suffering from food poisoning from something I've served, however, there is serious personal liability concerns over health risks and if someone gets into an accident after drinking at my party. A restaurant can prepare a stock that can be used over a couple days in several different dishes. At home, I have to prepare a stock for only one dish. It is very inefficient. I can't buy only the amount of parsley I need, I have to buy the whole bunch and it's like $3 now. The worst is the prohibitively expensive price of purchasing food at retail prices especially gourmet products. If I purchase a whole filet, lamb from Costco, or cod and tuna from the local fish monger, I'm still paying $25 - $30 per person for food. Economically scaling is a huge problem. I can make a risotto for 8 people with almost the same effort I can make the same dish for 35 people. Running a 8 seat restaurant in my house economically and legally doesn't work.

I usually engage Autopilot before operating the touchscreen, so that I can take my eyes off the road briefly.
My team uses Fisheye + Crucible. We have an expectation that outstanding reviews will be handled end of day and beginning of day (some people work staggered shifts, so they may have reviews awaiting them when they start in the morning.)

Additionally, we will do reviews for each other as we return from lunch or on a break between issues, etc. as possible for each person.

Revisiting a revised review is handled the same way. If I put up a review and there are defects found that need to be handled, I'll handle those and then add the resulting commit(s) to the review and let the team know (though they will check their Crucible inbox when they get a chance anyway.)

If a review is holding other things up we can be pests about it if necessary, but it's up to the other devs to decide when they have time to take a look. It's not up to me.

Since the reviewers and reviewees are all on the same team together we are all motivated to take care of reviews. If you're not all on the same team, or your team doesn't have a healthy "We're all in this together." that could be problematic.
These companies need to just be fired. Seriously. Send them back to the real world for a while. Makes me think of the Vogons from Hitchkiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Random thought: most of the candidates are in the documents - journalists are still trying to figure out how to deal with that. There's more information to come...

Nice article.

> At present, the SuperKEKB accelerator is successfully storing both electrons and positrons to prepare for the tests that will lead to new experiments.

I couldn't help but read that as they are stockpiling electrons and positrons, maybe in a barrel somewhere. What do they really mean?
I'm not seeking to refute anything. I agree that it sucks that software costs are so expensive and that taxpayer money was spent on this, but if you don't try to understand the process that is broken I don't think there is much chance to fix it.

My Dodge Charger has touch screen control for most functions (but not all). I have not found any trouble operating it while driving, but I'm sure there is a big difference between finding buttons on an 8.4" touchscreen vs 15" or larger.
Just to nitpick: Tesla is, in fact, not at all far ahead of other auto manufacturers in terms of autonomous driving tech. At CES this year, pretty much everyone showed off significant achievements in their own self-driving cars, including fully autonomous road trips. Autopilot is basically the same as adaptive cruise control + traffic jam assist, both of which have been available in some vehicles (Audi comes to mind) for years.

The difference is that the bigger OEMs are extremely wary of enabling these features in cars and getting into lawsuits as a result. Tesla has shown repeatedly with things like a giant touch screen that flaunts NHTSA guidelines that it just doesn't care about potential legal problems, and is more than happy to put somewhat unproven tech in the hands of drivers and hope for the best.
> The proof of this is that several core concepts that are considered "safe" have "unsafe" portions that make let work

I think this is actually a common pattern in many different domains. For example, the OS kernel's virtual memory subsystem does many things with "unsafe" primitives -- it has direct access to page tables and can map anything anywhere -- yet it provides a "safe" abstraction of isolated process address spaces.

The way I think about it is that you have to define basic building blocks somewhere. It's not reasonable to build a static analysis that understands the N different varieties of smart pointers, and refcounting, and dynamically-checked mutability (RefCell), and custom allocators (TypedArena), and all that. It's much more elegant to separate concerns, have only raw pointers and lifetimes/borrowing built-in, and put those pieces together in "blessed" ways with all the unsafe code in one place in the library. If you try to build that understanding into the compiler instead, you're just moving the same unsafe-has-to-be-correct algorithm down one level, and unnecessarily complicating things.
>That article is bullshit.

I found the article useful actually.

I mistakenly assumed, very naively, that these people handling the leaks were wikileaks kind of people and not these other kind of people:

>The leak is being managed by the grandly but laughably named “International Consortium of Investigative Journalists”, which is funded and organised entirely by the USA’s Center for Public Integrity. Their funders include

>Ford Foundation
>Carnegie Endowment
>Rockefeller Family Fund
>W K Kellogg Foundation
>Open Society Foundation (Soros)

Guess there's a reason we don't invite speakers notorious for advocating enslaving fellow conference-goers' families

So our standard is, if diversity activists can lie, and make the lies stick, then we don't let the target of their lies speak anywhere? Sounds reasonable.
It's a target the vast majority of people in the world don't want to aim for. But I guess it is a target. Like a lot of utopian ideals, anarchy only works as long as everyone agrees to be an anarchist. Unfortunately for anarchists, people find states, laws and the monopoly on violence to be useful.
> Okay, let's say there's no governing body. Now, there's a dispute. How is it resolved? Fight to death?

You've got an excellent question and I've got an excellent answer for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTYkdEU_B4o
It's a short video, but I highly recommend it to you (skip the first minute or so for a short historical intro). Please come back here and let me know if it answered your question. I also hope it doesn't just answer your question, but sets in your in a different mode for thinking, mode in which problems that seemed unsolvable can now be solved.
But doesn't this prove the point?

Either nobody was willing to bid lower: the system works.

Or someone would be willing to bid lower but its a team filled with white guys: the system works. Maybe these other companies should think about their hiring practices considering that they exist in an area with a large minority that doesn't seem present in the team.

I don't know the details though, maybe there's some capital requirements or something that's pretty hard to match

It's only day 1, and the ICIJ has said they have at least 14 days of "major revelations" mapped out in advance.

I expect we'll be seeing stories from the Panama Papers for months to come, spaced out for maximum impact, similarly to Snowden's leaks.

If a month goes by and not a single story is contrary to american corporate interests, the author's position may be reasonably supportable. But day 1? Not a chance. They went for the most immediate impact-- two CURRENT heads of state.
At the same time we have to remember these apps exist for a reason.. to make a small group of people money. In the quest to accomplish this goal marketing, combined with PR, government relations, and legal, attempt to manipulate society in such a way that society will conform to the goals of the business. If we forget this, either intentionally or due to ignorance, we become much more susceptible to manipulation which may or may not be detrimental to us.
I thought so too, it's silly to pretend this is all about putin putin putin and his cellists. Besides i would expect the russians to have moved their money in some offshore corner in middle east rather than panama. The Bloomberg website does not even report it in its frontpage right now (eventhough possibly many of their customers are in the list). However i trust that they are keeping the best bits for the starting week.

This seems very interesting btw. We should just face the fact that offshore banking exists and is neither good or evil, its a product of globalization and the emerging stateless jet set. If anything , maybe more and more people should take advantage of it.
What? It's literally constant... Just go to any conference if you want to see it.

I mean, I don't even know how to react to something like this.

Edit: I am talking specifically about general business, not governmental business.
If it doesn't exist yet in the latest car models, I'm sure it will soon: voice-automated controls. Should be pretty trivial to do basic things like climate control via voice, and seeing as a car is a private environment (my biggest gripe with talking to my phone in public), I think it'll quickly overtake physical controls as the preferred mode of use.
Raw Snowden data didn't hit wikileaks. Don't bet on it.
Worth pointing out: this is, in no way, done by a single media organization. This is a collaborative effort of ~107 news organizations from all over the world, and you can be sure that behind each of them there's a small dedicated tech team that worked tirelessly on making this thing look pretty.

Because this is such a huge collaborative effort involving over 300 journalists from god knows how many countries, we barely managed to set an embargo until 8 PM (CEST). An hour before that, there were literally less than 10 tweets using #panamapapers. Now, there's over half a million. And it's been just seven hours since I have started the tweet wall in our office!

From this point on, I believe that every media organization is going to focus on its own region, although I cannot guarantee that. After all, my job was to make the website look pretty. I had the honor of reading some of the stories before anyone else while I was preparing them for the website (and I will have the same honor again in ~5-6 hours), but that's about it.
Exactly this. Saw a new Mazda 3 4-door in the parking lot on Friday and did a double-take to see if someone had gotten their hands on a Model 3 test car. To me the design is... OK.
The demo'd model 3 screams civic to me. Not that there is anything wrong with the civic, but it doesn't scream 3-series/A4/c-class to me. Also, the interior is completely bland. That all said, I will wait until there is a final product to pass judgment in regards to styling.
This is true for government. I'm talking generally about non-governmentally agencies, in which case it's the norm.
can you explain, what change you made and what improvements you observed?
The point is that the team of white guys is still performing the work. The only people making a return here are the well-connected minority/woman/veteran contractor and the politican or friend/family thereof who gets a cut of the action.

It's a tough pivot from a high-cost, high-margin company to a low-cost, low-margin company. HP, SGI, and IBM all failed at it.

"First-come, first-served originated with domain name registrations" - what!? That's not even wrong, so far as I can tell - it is an answer for some entirely different question. Perhaps this author does not understand that usernames existed long before the Internet did?
I used to work in a city IT department and the department head would allow future prospective and already existing vendors to take them out for meals "if we weren't currently soliciting bids from that specific company for work."

Yeah, like they are taking you out because you are buds and they never plan on submitting any bids or extending contracts in the future?

A lot of what I saw in the government when I worked there was borderline illegal but certainly ethically wrong.
I use a notebook and write a * followed by a one-line description of the task. If I create a task, I have to do it. When I finish it, I cross out the whole link.

"It also could mean that the market is broken"

There are four barriers to entry: 1) acquire the possible publications, 2) determine if it's in the public domain, and 3) face likely legal action design to suck away time and money, 4) come up with a good revenue model.

1) isn't easy because access to the the newest publications require a user agreement. I think it can be done by starting with SciHub since SciHub hasn't signed an agreement in the first place. For older publications, paper scans are possible, but also expensive.

2) is easiest in those rare cases where the paper says "this paper was authored by an employee of the United States and is not subject to copyright", or something similar. Otherwise, it might be inferred from the author's institutional affiliation ("William J. Wiswesser, US. Department of Agriculture, Frederick, Maryland 21701" to pull an example from one paper in my collection). This is labor intensive and therefore expensive.

3) While the US doesn't recognize a "sweat of the brow" doctrine, other place might. Even if a public domain archive were legal, it could be sued for, say, knowingly trying to subvert the policies in #1. (Also, will these documents have the same DOI as what the publisher uses? Might they sue for copying that in violation of some user agreement on their web site?)

4) Yeah, I've no clue how to make money off of this. Especially if SciHub is part of the competition.

Wiswesser, above, died in 1989. I'm going through a lot of historical papers these days.

I use my side project, MindAUX.

Creating Todos is pretty easy; i can create as many as I want at once via an email or entry in the search.

Categorizing them is the next trick: I get emails every other day for todos I created that aren't classified yet.

After that, they get regularly reviewed and timestamped as reviewed so they don't need to reappear for a while. I get emails for any todos that have never been reviewed, or that are overdue for a review.

When I'm deciding what to do in the next i select several I think I can tackle and add them to my list of active todos, then sort them based on priority.

Anything with a due date gets noisy (pesters me via email) as the date approaches as well as if its overdue; until it's removed or completed.

I could but haven't needed to use contexts yet or time estimates; primarily it's been a matter of making sure something is at least in the system and being tracked/reviewed in a way that I can forget about because I know it remembers and will remind me through a variety of ways.

I also get a weekly report of open todos, new todos, and other statistics.

This works for me, because it is easy to do brain dumps of this or that, while also making it harder for me to drop a particularly important ball, or lose track of it.

The best possible a language can be for a given situation is that the empty program solves the problem you're trying to solve.

Obviously, in no language can the empty program solve all problems. QED, there is no language that is optimal in all situations.

If you want a more useful answer, you should define what you mean by "best in all situations".

I have a different answer: it may be just me, but I never even thought that such apps exist. I mean, I don't give a damn about airbnb, airwft or whatever, but the idea that I need to sleep somewhere when I travel is obvious to say the least, so I just google (ddg) something, find airbnb, somebody else does the same, finds airbnb, mentions it in his blogpost — and so it spreads.

But I don't go to google when I want to eat while being in my hometown. Because, well, it's my hometown — even if I'm not eating at home I already know some places myself, I can ask friends for advice, I can go for a walk and "find" something.

Actually, thinking of it, I might be one of these guys who would actually like socializing like that (which might not be rare, but certainly not as common as wanting to sleep under a roof, while staying in a country far away from home), but it never occurred to me that such practise exists.
I think that the question about how efficiently gov uses tax money is an order of magnitude more important than the question of how much to pay in taxes.

Another related question is how efficient gov in allocating the help. I wish there is a separate gov body that quantifies the efficiency of all allocations.

Who knows, perhaps, when inefficiencies are removed, taxes we pay now is enough to build a just society with big middle class. I personally consider Wall Street's bailouts and international military interventions are among the biggest gov inefficiencies.
