Yeah, this is more about what I was getting towards.

Tesla Model 3 isn't breaking any records. I can think of plenty of cars in the price range that is that fast actually (and as you noted, the WRX definitely undercuts the Tesla significantly in price).

But in my experience, zero-to-sixty in 6 seconds is a good speed. Its not "slow", and should be fast enough to feel somewhat luxurious.

The Subaru WRX, and Ford Focus RS are performance-oriented cars after all. They happen to also be good daily drivers. Performance-oriented drivers will stick with Subaru WRX / Focus RS because the real time performance people care about is the Laguna Seca lap-time (or other lap times on famous tracks)... a combination of cornering speed, handling, acceleration, AND braking to test all aspects of the car.

Zero-to-sixty in 6-seconds isn't amazing, and the M3 likely won't do Leguna Seca very well (Model S overheats for example and is forced to slow down. Its probably something to do with electric motors)

https://forums.teslamotors.com/forum/forums/model-s-laguna-s...

And there's the Subaru WRX, beating out the Model S on Leguna Seca by a few seconds, let alone the Model 3. So yeah, people who care about overall performance aren't going to be getting any of the Teslas any time soon.

----------

So the real selling point is the electric car value. The question is if the Model 3 can actually deliver. Its still a concept-car, a lot of things are going to change between now and "late 2017", probably 2018 when the cars actually come out for most people.

The GM Bolt is launching this year. BMW is launching their electrics soon. Tesla has a leg up inside of the electric market IMO, but I'm curious to see if the M3 actually gets widespread adoption.

And no, I don't think a refundable $1000 deposit really counts as a real sale.
Not sure about that, Ruby took the good parts of Perl regex parsing, such as the conditional format: var =~ /regex(match)/

With $1 and so on for each match.
Yes, CA law states that SoCalGas has to account for the leak by cutting emissions in other places. I think even before the government mandate SoCalGas said they will do compensate for the leak by cutting back in other emissions. So the net effect should be zero after some years.
As I understand it, it's a practicality issue: with enough extra stages you can always escape, but the payload size rapidly approaches zero. (See: http://space.stackexchange.com/a/5383)

The size, complexity, and costs of extra stages make it impossible once you add in the actual real-world constraints. As said in Terr_'s link: "Rockets at 85% propellant and 15% structure and payload are on the extreme edge of our engineering ability to even fabricate (and to pay for!). They require constant engineering to keep flying."

Also, AIXI has only one layer of hierarchy to its model, and has no latent parameters for its causal structures (Turing machines), nor any allowance for compactness or uncountability of learned spaces.

It's a really incredibly bare-bones, skeletal model of a learning agent that makes very rigid, unrealistic modeling assumptions and then adds on computational infeasibility.

On a per-unit sold basis, Tesla Model S is wildly profitable, with a gross margin north of 30%

OK, I searched for "30%" in your link and nothing came up. So I scanned and saw nothing that claimed a gross margin of 30%. Where's it hiding?

I assume by gross margin you mean, "revenue - COGS". This of course ignores all the fixed costs, so it doesn't mean much. Even if they weren't investing in future growth, their fix costs could easily drag that 30% (still don't know where that came from) down into negative territory.
I don't know why you got downvoted but Haskell also gives excessive freedom for infix operators with adjustable precedence, ability to make up new operators etc. and a lot of libraries use such operators excessively so I think you are right. Come to think of whenever I need to write a PEG or use a not-so-common typeclass I need to open documentation to see what juxtaposition of ascii characters to use where. On the other hand, I think the expressibility outweighs the cognitive overhead in case of infix operators, especially when using relatively common operators (Scala kind-of has a similar feature and I (ab)use it frequently and it is nicer and closer to math when combined with Unicode. Closeness to math is an important feat. when translating academic papers into code or vice versa).

One doesn't put the effort into building a website if it will only work on Android: you sigh and use a framework like Cordova that provides not even just the same functionality across platforms but with a consistent API, which you then compile into two applications. Even if all Apple did was support their own web push notification system from Mac OS X on iOS I imagine you would see many many more web apps instead of native apps.
I actually think the model 3 looks fine. I've seen several model x driving around and their nose is really hideous. The model s has just like a black section that looks normal and fine. The model 3 has done completely away with the black look and it looks fine. The model x just sort of is somewhere in the middle and it looks really, really awkward.
The finance report wouldn't have shown individual transactions but the financial controls required to properly put together those annual filings would have caught unusual activity (at the very least dis-incentivized prolonged mismanagement). Also keep in mind proper controls would include having accountants put together the reports and run internal audits.

The other issue is these charges (apparently) weren't invisible/low key transactions. If someone can literally thumb through recent statements and immediately identify suspicious activity like Gym memberships and Vegas trips then that's an obvious problem.

It's one thing if $30k was missing and the company was generating $30 million in cash flow but Hacker Dojo only has $300k in the bank and I have a hard time believing embezzling $30k could be as easily hidden in small transactions if proper controls were in place.

I disagree. His comment was in regards to "production capability, supply chain and support network".

The fact is that BMW produced 40x more vehicles in 2015, which would suggest their supply chain and support network is much more robust.

I wrote this little tool mainly for myself, because I felt the need to have some kind of quick overview / status page for my Kubernetes clusters. Since IMHO there is still no tool out there providing this kind of functionality the way I wanted it to be, I just put the code on Github and hope that it might help some colleagues in need :)

These are some of the core features that I find the most useful:

- Quickly view the (color-coded!) status of all RCs, pods and services in realtime per namespace

- Delete pods and RCs with one click

- List and search recent cluster events and quickly jump to related resources

- Follow the progress of rolling updates in realtime

I for one am extremely excited for Perl6's ecosystem to grow, documentation to increase, and for the performance optimizations to reach maturity.

Perl5 has raw text processing power, but Perl6 kicks that into overdrive with a much cleaner language (clean and powerful OO with a MOP), with cool goodies from a dozen other languages. I think this may be the first decent contender for the 100 year language if it becomes production worthy.

"World masters" championships are for older athletes. For example, in athletics, we have https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masters_athletics:

"Masters athletics is a class of the sport of athletics for veteran athletes in the events of track and field, road running and cross country running. The competitions feature five-year age groups beginning at age 35. Men as old as 105 and women in their 100s have competed in running, jumping and throwing events."

Winners of these events need not have been world class athletes when they were young, and often weren't, but they typically have been exercising regularly more than other people.

But yes, it is not that surprising that people who are world-class athletes in their age group score differently in some metrics than people who are not. Question is: in what metrics? This study researched that. It's not just that they have more muscles, the muscles they have work better, too.
That might be a little premature, but this team (primarily John Carreyrou and Christopher Weaver) are clearly not going to stop writing about Theranos any time soon. Additionally, they've pretty clearly provided an outlet for people who seem to be itching for this story to get some sunlight, so they're scooping the world on the blow-by-blow of Theranos' interactions with FDA, Walgreen's, Safeway, etc.

Yea I think the JVM backend was broken recently by a patch (if I remember correctly), but should be fixed soon if not already. I'm surprised it actually works so well when MoarVM isn't 100% done.

Well, whose fault is it that all things have .net in their names? I meant the .net frameworks in my original comment (even though the runtime environment changed a lot too, causing pain for deployment - read some old Paint.net blogs to find out more).

My point was that it doesn't matter if c# or .net continue to exist or not, all it matters for me is whether one can count on one's skills being still valuable. My Visual C++, WinAPI (bit WinRT is replacing it) skills are still fine, my C# & .net framework that I learned back in 2006 are nearly useless, because a lot of stuff changed.

Why do companies expect developers to always gobble up whatever they throw over the wall and say "thank you sir, may I have more sir?", as if it's our duty to relearn how to do X for the Nth time, this time with bells and whistles?

More importantly, why do devs like investing in such ephemeral knowledge?

The Tesla Model S, X and imminent 3 use this heuristic.

The autopilot will look for lane markings or road surface edges, but seems to favour following the vehicle in front where possible. This especially helps drive better in rainy weather where road markings are obscured by reflections.

Damian Conway (Perl5 frequent contributor) is a professor who knows and has taught Lisp classes. He made a good point that although Lisp is powerful in it's own way, you don't get a lot of information by simply glancing at some code. With sigils and other known operators, Perl gives the reader a lot of information as long as it isn't abused.

That's a disingenuously kind interpretation. This was a bunch of fraudsters with failed technology making out that it worked.
I did not look hard, but didn't find an obvious location to remove the SIM from my Mercedes. It is certainly undocumented in the owner's manual.

Note that [depending on the modem], simply removing the SIM might not be enough to turn the radio off. It might still try connecting to the network and naturally send your IMEI to the carrier. For instance, handsets are usually configured so you can call emergency numbers without SIM cards. They need to reach out to a network to do so. You might still be tracked. It's better to make sure it is not powered.

I agree that Tesla probably takes the Orwellian issues to a whole new level, but I'm not sure this sort of lockdown would be limited to EVs for long.

Sounds good, I'll keep an eye out for it. After seeing somewhere else in the thread that this took you < 3 months I would have been very surprised if you'd also settled on pricing already!

That's fantastic, a huge step up from lambda.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you fall a couple of sigma away from the typical customer for medical tests.

I would argue that most people, when they are already ill, do not want to have to perform life-or-death cost/benefit tradeoff analyses on highly technical accuracy data from the service provider who will perform their blood tests. They want to be assured that everyone in the market meets a basic standard of competency. We as a society have made a decision that we will pay more for our blood tests so that we don't have to do that homework for ourselves.

I do definitely think there is an opportunity for individuals to be better informed about the cost and quality of their health care, as long as it meets a basic standard.

As an analogy, the airline industry is able to be cutthroat-competitive on fares and routing, while still being highly regulated when it comes to safety. You can't choose to take a cheaper flight by agreeing to let the airline skip on oil changes.

Internet censorship hit heavy in Mexico after news of Andres Sepulveda
Today all day cell phone data and voice were knocked out, internet is very slow and devoid of the Andres Sepulveda article, social networks do not have a single mention of the article. /r/mexico in reddit was made private.

I don't know what to do, I am scared, and feel powerless.
But we have to draw the line somewhere, i.e. where do we break DRY?

If the if-statement for negative-zero ought be in it's own package, how smaller granularity can we go before we should start copying the code? What about checking if two numbers are equal?

To play on your link to github where he talks about is-negative-zero:

For example. I have this module is-equal. Its job is to tell me if two numbers are equal. Normally you wouldn't have to care about this, but it could happen. How do you figure out if two numbers are equal? Well easy x == y. Or is it? Do you really want to have to know this might be wrong? I would rather require is-equal and be productive on other things.
Answering your question:

I haven't heard of anything in PROD yet (there is a QUORA question on this), but I know there are several Perl shops that would jump on this when it's fully ready. You can use it today for most things (assuming hard performance isn't needed). When the optimizations and JIT are complete, you'll have a very fast OO language with optional types. My intended use cases are for pretty much anything that doesn't need a GUI like a .NET desktop app. I have a LOT of data at work and look forward to using the Grammar functionality to build useful and beautiful parsing code.

I believe Perl6 is bootstrapped by a subsection of Perl6 called NQP (not quite perl)which is written in C.
I hear ya. Not to try and be too preachy, but you might want to re-evaluate some things. Or, at the very least, sit down with your doctor and talk about cardiac health and see if you should take a stress test or have some imaging done or something.

The good news is, it's almost never too late to improve your cardiac situation. I don't know how old you are, but arterial function can be improved after even a lifetime of bad habits and what-not. Just do all the things we've all been taught to do: eat a healthy diet (the Mediterranean diet is generally considered pretty good), lose weight, stop smoking (if you smoke), watch your cholesterol, stay active, etc.
I'm not sure about the actual protection but your explanation sounds more like how a programmer thinks than how a law person thinks:

What matters, ultimately, is not just the thing itself but the context in which it is used and presented. If I announce that "picture present" means "no" and "picture removed" means "yes", the presence or removal of the picture still acts as a communication system and its use is likely considered a form of communication by the law.

However what makes canaries special is that mere removal or absence is ambiguous in that it can be unintentional. The question then is whether this is more akin to changing your response from "No" to "No comment" and whether this change itself when you have previously announced you will always answer "No" as long as it is truthful already indicates "Yes" (thus violating the gag order).
i fully support this :)
> This looks like the "move fast and break things" crowd trying to run a medical lab.

No, I don't think that's fair to the "move fast" crowd. This looks more like a bunch of politically connected country club types trying to "brag" a startup. Eg: Board of Directors = Henry Kissinger, former Secretary of Defense Bill Perry, former Secretary of State George Shultz, etc.

These people are used to manipulating the system at the expense of the public and getting away with it. I presume they expected to be able to achieve the same with this as well.
Why do you say: had? They still have:

Sure. Planned 0-60 in under 7 seconds for the Bolt [1] with similar fast charging capability at suitable chargers. If we're going to split hairs over being a second faster off the line when it's already not even as fast as significantly cheaper cars, then I'm not sure what to say. The lack of a supercharger network is definitely a downside for Chevy, but for your average commuter that shouldn't be a major issue. Please also keep in mind that autopilot is not free for the Model 3 (or Model S) - it's a $3,000 upgrade.

Is the Bolt actually a better car? No, but I think it's evidence that if automakers actually get serious about electric they can put together something competitive and bring it to market far faster than Tesla.
