For no other reason than that I have low self-esteem, I'm going to make one last attempt to convince anyone still confused that my statement wasn't some random class-baiting non sequitur. I was responding to this comment:

Creating an affordable EV at mass consumer scale is a much harder problem than creating a luxury EV at modest volume.

...which was advanced in the context that regular people wouldn't be as forgiving with Tesla's production problems as current owners have been. My point then (and now) was that we shouldn't get too carried away with that line of thinking, because the Model 3 is still going to be a luxury car that will be purchased by people who can afford to deal with some issues.

People who buy new BMWs (by analogy) know that they're going to cost more to fix than a used Honda Civic.

That was my entire point. If it wasn't clear, then I'll take the blame for that. What I won't cop to is some sort of concealed sociological attack. Now, if I know what's good for me, I'll shut up :P
Or a bubble in private markets. There are plenty of "unicorn" private companies which would be worth far less in public markets
They barely communicated anything at the reveal. It was like a few minutes of leadup, five bullet points about the 3, and then they showed the cars and ended it. Given the audience they had, a bit of a wasted opportunity.
EU Radio Directive
looks like it's just you.

I don't think any reasonable definition of "vaporware" can be applied to this car, given Tesla's track record. They could have all sorts of tweaks and production issues yet, sure. But it's a pretty good bet that a tangible version of this exists and will ship.
I absolutely agree that private commits should be malleable and sometimes you do want to just pretend that you wrote things smartly the first time...

That said, there are certainly ways to better handle the "Oops, syntax error" style of commits than blowing them out after the fact. Some of that is better acknowledging the existing DAG structure of git and realizing that you don't need to 'depth-first search' the commit log every time you look at the commit log. Tools could default to views more like `git log --first-parent` and then let you expand out from there, for instance.

There's also the idea of better drawing lines between the code work and "story telling work" of a commit. Certainly today you could do all your work in progress in a branch and then `git merge --no-ff` it into another branch and there tell the completed story of that commit set after all the "dust has settled" on the stuff that was done in the heat of progress.

It's as much a matter of tooling support and community support (we all make mistakes so we aren't going to dunce cap anyone for making mistakes) as it is a technical problem.

I think we can see that "not all commits are equal" and maybe we want a system for "color these commits as work in progress" followed by "here's the final story for these commits, color it as presentable and ready for code review". I think it's an interesting discussion to continue to have and an opportunity to really think what we want in our source control tools and how they can better help us tell the stories of the code we are working on, for our reviewers and even maybe for our code archeologists.
He heard the stories directly from the participants in the battle and was the last Crow war chief thus breaking the line with his death. The Herman Viola quote is fitting, but probably should have something about him seeing quite clearly what was needed for his tribe in the future.
Thats because all the "DO NOT PIRATE" messages are reserved for the paying customers.
So you are assuming that all urban areas have a similar cost of living to san francisco?
That is not how hypocrisy works.
Sorry, but you could have made your point in a more hackerish way by saying that the Islamic State is looking into using off the shelf drones to widely distribute Cesium 137 dust harvested from Medical X ray equipment. A devout martyr would have no issue with preparing the Cesium and assembling the device.

Such a weapon would cause great economic damage if used in an urban area, as the city would have to be evacuated until a thorough and expensive clean up was completed by thousands of workers in bunny hazmat suits.
You absolutely do. Open sourcing code is not just throwing a tarball over the wall. It's comments, it's documentation, it's changelogs that go a lot deeper than "fewer children are spawned." When people are reading the code, they want to make changes. They want to help. Tarn has no interest in changing his job from one of programmer/designer to one of gatekeeper/manager. I can completely understand why he doesn't want to do this. It'd make a lot more work for him, and people would come to him with complaints, demands, questions about it.
Yeah. Also, TIL you can "Mute Tab" in Chrome before anything starts playing.
Sodium-ion appears to be practical enough (just not as attractive as lithium ion, so less developed). Sodium ion beats lead acid for specific energy and sodium is rather more abundant than lithium.

Also, 1 car per person is probably more than is necessary.
Microsoft Edge Platform Data
But if developers are using Windows, that means that they're also going to write software for Windows. A lot of the high quality, 3rd party applications that run on OS X come from the fact that the authors had been running Mac for a long time, had a need for something, and turned it into a product. Had those developers been on Windows instead, they might be there. That's what Microsoft wants.
> so I'm not sure what appeal this policy is supposed to have.

I've never flown Alaskan, but it's pretty obvious what the appeal is: it's a small optimization to make flying a little more convenient and enjoyable for some people. It seems like it would be nice not to have to wait in the boarding line and manhandle my carry-on. Plus, the policy creates some goodwill because they're passing up an opportunity to nickle-and-dime you.

Stuff like this really gets to me, for some reason.
This looks interesting. So it is cloud-version of Docker swarm, right?
A couple things about the F-150:

1) It is absolutely true that they sell more retail trucks than fleet trucks

2) I was merely pointing out that it wouldn't be the most popular vehicle on the market without the fleet sales

3) This has nothing to do with my original point and I probably shouldn't even have responded to it

I like the framing you've used there, but mostly military drones are used to "attack" people
And it never will be. And that's a good thing.

Also, if you don't think DF has polish, you've never played it. The polish is very subtle, but the game is SUPER polished with tons of details you'll miss if you don't go deep.
I think a lot of people (myself included) tend to focus on the "how" rather than the "why".

Presumably, big corporations are not only avoiding tax via legal means, but they are creating these legal means to avoid tax. Why do it illegally, when you can bribe/buy politicians, who then pass laws and allow you to avoid all the tax you want.

It could be 100% legal (not bribery specifically, but campaign financing for example), but i don't think most people are really okay with it.

I'm perfectly okay with someone finding a legal loophole, i am not okay with them blocking said loophole, or introducing new ones.
retaining earnings is a solution. And you're right I didn't mention it. Another solution is less taxes which sounds more reasonable to me. As I said at the beginning of this thread, Republicans seem to understand the problem and have a proper solution to it in order to avoid making other people richer trying to work around the legal system (e.g. CPA).
> to essentially make the git DAG look like a (lie of a) straight-line CVS or SVN commit list.

Err, it doesn't make it look like the "lie of a" straight line, it makes it into a straight line. Whatever the other developers do, I move the project forward one ball of functionality at a time when their changes are useful to mainline.

When you use software, why do you run a "release" instead of whatever happens to be in the dev's directory when they leave for lunch? Don't you feel dishonest getting the version without the bugs?

> Seeing how the sausage was actually made (no rebases, no squashes, sometimes not even fast-forwards) isn't pretty, but it is meaningful

Perhaps if I was going to hire you it'd be interesting to glance at how you work with nobody looking. Do you keep your desk tidy or not?

But it's absolutely irrelevant to the final project and as such, it shouldn't be stored.

> I trust that. It's real and visceral and how software is actually made

You should read Tracy Kidder's _The Soul of a New Machine_, it's a good read about sausage.

But it's not how you should work because you have choice now.
> IFF you want to support the default set of keys installed on computers

Which happens to be a case if you want to use a extension card with its own BIOS. If it is signed, what key is used? Can you resign with your own?
No. Not when in exchange for that "annoyance" (not really an annoyance at all), you get a lot of stuff for free.
I've noticed the trend in recent years of more prominent grill on many brands, especially the low end luxury lines.

I can't be the only one who hates those, I mean, Trypophobia is one of the most common phobias.
> I'd pay good money for the ability to exit the plane early after the flight is over.

Apparently not good enough money, first class customers get that privilege. Beyond that, the crew is required to finish certain landing procedures before allowing customers to disembark off the plane.
oh wow. like a real time streetview monitoring the society?
No, it's not normal, though neither is a company equity tanking 98% within such a short-time.
How a generic cell converts into a neuron
I'm over 30, and it's occasionally made obvious to me that good judgement is something that I'm still working on. It's a skill and like anything other skill in life, starting early and lifetime learning is the best solution.
I only recently got myself a used ThinkPad X220 that is now running PC-BSD. I tried a stock FreeBSD 10.2 first and could not get suspend/resume to work properly, so I tried PC-BSD, where suspend/resume works; then again the latest PC-BSD is based on FreeBSD 10.3, so a stock FreeBSD 10.3 might have worked as well; but now I am too lazy to re-install.

Otherwise the hardware is supported very nicely. Only scroll support for the trackpoint was a bit of a pain to get working.
So does communicating on Twitter comply with regulatory requirements around public company communications? Cool, if so.
It sounds like the requirement is citizenship. Citizenship isn't exactly happenstance of birth location.
> phoning home to God-knows-where servers in East Asia/Russia

> East Asia/Russia

I'd leave this part out, since phoning phone to the "West" isn't anything better.
It's unlikely any power player in the west will go down for this either. I suspect its more of a play to whip Europe up into a frenzy.
I wonder if Apple might do something about this. They don't care so much for the FOSS side of things, obviously, but I wonder if they might demand chips from Intel without the management engine, because it's a potential attack vector they can't control.

Your math is (relatively) sound but I don't think you understand how trivial the work required for this would be.

It's pretty universally known that engineers are horrible at estimating their tasks but this particular app is so simple as to be impossible to overestimate. It literally would take less than a day for a (half)-competent engineer (and maybe 1 designer/artist) to do the work for this (I won't give you the task breakdown but I'll say the task list is short).

So the answer is probably more in line with the other associated costs as you mentioned. Another just as likely (and as simple) answer; they charged some know nothing bureaucrat a ton because that's how it works in DC.
You wouldn't have to do that if you have a window seat, which you'd probably try to get if you'll fit in one and you want to sleep.
Best options are probably Thors, missle turrets, photon cannons or void rays. Eventually war will be teenagers sitting at computers moving swarms of autonomous machines on a virtual map, and South Korea will take over the world.
Check libreboot.org

On their FAQ page: https://libreboot.org/faq , you can see the question "Why is the latest{Intel,AMD} hw unsupported?"

They go into more detail than the provided link. Also, dropped supports starts in 2008 for Intel, 2013 for amd.

The truth is: we need something like this to protect the whole boot process. But unless we can put our keys/sw in there, we will never be sure.
Raspberry Pi as a Car Speed Detector
Am I the only one to find the reporting on this to be rather one sided? Sure we all know Putin is a shady character to say the least, but none in the US or the UK being directly reported on? Germany? France? Instead we get a token gesture in the way of Iceland's PM being implicated.

The Guardian is losing a hell of a lot of credibility in my opinion for having this biased view being published.

I say make all the documents available to the entire world. That is the only way it will be less media propaganda and more a true leak.
I've never tried this. But it looks like if you run "p4 diff -du file" it creates a patch that could be pastebinned.

Branching still sucks in P4. But if it improves your work flow at all I figured it's worth mentioning.
Fair enough, but I still think the underlying problem of on demand transportation is already solved by friends/taxis/uber/planning, it is merely a different breakdown, you take out the human component and replace it with a machine. As someone who had problem with Google Services and was not able to contact anyone (no, the help pages did not work) it seems as a pipe dream, but maybe I am wrong and people will embrace it. Or you need an actual operator who can be called and you are back to square one. For that money I feel a fundamentally different solution should emerge than a mere augmentation - if at all.
For 2, it is the same. Public transportation is a more efficient solution already. I'm from Europe, so I might have a different view on this, but it works really well here.
Richard Branson is one of my favourite entrepreneurs. Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Australia are still his, right?
Yes, it gives you the native docker interface, but remove the cluster mgmt.

Wait until he finds out about microcode!
Forget unicorns, investors are looking for 'cockroach' startups now
So this will likely be one of the first things that Virgin gets rid of along with 1 free checked bag.

It never ceases to amaze me that the airlines refuse to abandon this absurd policy of charging for a piece of checked luggage. When you look at when this practice was introduced of charging for checked luggage, the time it takes to board and un-board a plane has increased by about 20 minutes due to everyone trying to shove as much as possible into overhead bins. Perhaps this time axis doens't carry much weight for carrier? Although that would be hard to imagine. It seems like false economy to say charging $25 per luggage checked make sense when you have now added 40 minutes to each flight. I can count the number of times on one hand that my flight has left at its scheduled time even though it boarded on time.
Apple will be sitting pretty with their own CPU, heh? At least in the iOS devices, but who knowns what the (near) future brings to the Mac line.
The singularity is approaching! What a time to be alive :)
Your political opinion isn’t really your own
Correct. But none of those entities are controlling transportation infrastructure in the United States. They're manufacturing vehicles or parts necessary for those vehicles, or controlling the air traffic on a completely separate continent.

The law's intent (not saying that I agree with it) is to ensure that the air transit infrastructure in the United States is controlled by U.S. citizens, not that every piece of transportation equipment worldwide is manufactured and controlled by the U.S.

When you are looking at electric vehicles globally or even nationally you must take the power plants into the equations.

Whilst you may get electricity from renewable sources, and that is good for you, when you look at the country as a whole, renewable sources make up a small percentage of the total electricity produced.
Vanquish Whiteboard Interview Puzzles with Test-Driven Development
> The problem with greed is that it only takes a handful of players to ruin it for everyone.

This is a classic case of tragedy of the commons. Bad actors in the advertising space rush to extract the most value out of internet ads by continually pushing the frontier of obnoxiousness. Because, 'hey if I don't do it, someone else will'. And much like the tragedy of the commons with overfishing, they have to keep increasing effort to make up for the decline in effectiveness as they 'overfish' internet users.

Even if you're an ethical advertiser you end up getting harmed by the unethical ones as wide swathes of people start using ad blockers, and the ones that don't are ad-blind anyway.
By logical extension, this would mean it could handle any given dynamic language.

Not only by logical extension! One of Larry's primary goals was to "let any language use the CPAN", through Parrot. Running Perl and P6 on the same VM, in process, without embedding libperl.so was the plan as far back as I can remember.

I am talking about the focus shift that made Perl 6 just one among many of "client languages"

That's been a common, though unrealistic, criticism of Parrot for the past several years. Various contributors never had (or lost) interest in P6 but wanted to work on an multi-language VM. Expecting that all volunteers to a project have the same primary goal in mind is ridiculous and ignores decades of F/OSS contributions; it's easy to look at the Linux kernel and recognize that multiple competing business and personal interests can be shepherded into a technically useful result that meets a lot of those needs despite their competing interests.

People implementing `invokedynamic` didn't somehow make Java a second-class citizen on the JVM, for example.

You can certainly argue that we handled some of those competing interests poorly (I've argued this), but the "focus shift" argument rests on some questionable assumptions and ignores other, more important, concerns.
Comparing unrelated types in Python
> Using variables to make those three the same color is an abuse of DRY in my opinion.

I disagree - as a matter of fact, a lot of CSS frameworks have the concept of a "primary color" that is used in the manner I have described. Additionally,following your idea of DRY would render CSS variables pointless in CSS preprocessors as mixins cover that use-case (setting the same property).

Self-Driving Cars Might Get Their Own Formula 1 Championship
Seriously? No sympathy for men who have everything taken from them in divorce after a few measly years? Way to make sure I'll never get married.
To be fair, I think this is only for tablet & mobile.

On desktops and laptops I've seen, there was a way for end-user to upload their own trusted certificates and use those instead of Microsoft ones, and I think that's when done like this (when, whatever the defaults are, end-user can get in control), Secure Boot is a good idea - even though the implementations are not.

I guess there must be some ignorant (or malicious) desktop/laptop vendors that don't provide key management options, but hope there isn't many.
It's great that these guys pushing POWER8 at least have a workable situation, but at least for me, throwing $3,700 at a motherboard (Alone!) just isn't feasible. I would love to be free of proprietary firmware, but it would seem that's only for people better off than myself.
Seems like it, the captured photos (in 360 degrees) will be compared within milliseconds with the list of the wanted criminals in the central database. Even when the car is moving with 120 kmph.

I don't use ad blockers, but I do just hit the 'back' button when I see a site that's ad-unreadable. I don't feel that I'm missing anything of quality this way.

I have a flash blocker on, which I think ends up doing 90% of what I would want an ad blocker for when combined with my 'back it up on bad ads' policy.
Give it time.

Well, obviously, for 300km yes, since light does that in 2ms roundtrip.

But that's for stuff mirrored locally like those Quake3 servers. When you get stuff from US datacenters etc you'll suffer even more than 20ms.
