Cool. So will there have to be a paying user or will the first user be free as well?

Also, since the apps have different prices, will it be the cheapest or the most expensive app that comes for free? The former seems the most logical but it could lead to some unintended consequences. Like, I could be mainly interested in accounting (with its dependent invoicing module, the two of them together costing €30/month). I could get this for free. Say I‘d be interested in adding the expenses module as an upsell. After all, it’s only €10/month. And it has no dependencies. But if the cheapest modules is for free, the €10 upsell would actually cost me €30/month, and would be much less attractive.

I'm referencing the fact that some leaks you get the whole enchilada and it's up to you or the media to sift though.

In the case it's a leak which is being funnelled by the reporters.

Maybe this is because of legal reasons, I have no idea, but would it not be better they just dumped the whole data set onto the web?

> If there were no taxes, you'd probably have to buy tickets to walk and drive on roads, stroll in the park, swim in a sea

Do you have to insert coins into your smartphone every time you call someone these days? And yet it's almost impossible to live without a smartphone today, so people buy them and pay for the plans. But, but, they do have a choice of which operator to use (and, frankly, US is the worst example here, Europe/Asia is much less regulated in this respect, so it's cheaper and simpler there). Do you see where I'm going with this example?

Yes, I only want to pay for things which I use. And have a choice of, for example, which school to send my kids to (if any) without having to pay the same price. I want things provided on the market, which generally makes them cheaper, not more expensive. Almost any example of a market you take, where government once heavily regulated or provided a product or service, but then deregulated it and invited private companies to fill in - you will find that the price fell and quality rose, giving more people (not less) access to the said service or product.

I don't want to pay for: 1) wars 2) torture 3) police abuse 4) government mismanagement 5) that guy who has no job and has a gambling addiction 6) that guy who smokes 3 packs a day and demands free healthcare 7) politicians flying big jets and employing goons with guns to protect them.

I've wondered before if one "great filter" might not be utopia. Species achieve a very pleasant steady state, adopt some form of epicurean philosophy, and then sit there until they fade away or something kills them.

The filter would be whether an intelligence, having achieved a very satisfying "utopian" local maximum, chooses "irrationally" to continue striving.

It's really not so irrational though if you understand what a local maximum is and the implications. But it might feel that way.

which is a good problem to have. Especially for a company with the popularity and positive image of Tesla -- they should have a fairly easy time raising capital from outside investors, if they so desire. It's a challenge, to be sure, but not as difficult as the headline makes it sound.

Too simplistic. France had significant limits on bread prices until 1987, and starvation did not ensue.

http://www.lesnouvellesdelaboulangerie.fr/propos-des-regles-... (in French) was the best summary I could find, and it's not very detailed. But it does mention that from 1978 "prices could be freely selected by each producer" (so were not before), but with (from 1979 until 1987) various limitations such as maximum prices, agreed increases, no-price-change-allowed, etc.

Well, a high-performance Ruby VM will perform inline caching to mitigate this. And if the VM isn't a high-performance VM (i.e. it's interpreted), then the overhead of the interpreter dispatch loop dominates everything.
Interesting concept. Something between a Hostel and a transient hotel. It certainly looks like a viable "between" things kind of place, but I doubt these facilities age well. After 15 or 20 years you probably end up with something like the Hong Kong cage apartments.

It is part of the fabric of scientific research that findings are shared. Science is overtly collaborative. Every scientists specifically builds on the knowledge of others, and shares what they discover with the world.

Governments and a variety of organizations fund research with the express purpose of discovering new knowledge that ultimately benefits everyone.

That's the WHOLE POINT of publishing a paper. At a fundamental level, scientific publishing is about trying to share the results of your research with the scientific community.

The funding is tied to the act of publishing, having nothing to do with how people consume the papers. Charging people above cost to read the published research is antithetical to the whole idea of how the world does science.

I've never liked them either. In Forza I had a volt, but only so I could cover it in vulgar graphics.

I think what bothers me is that they don't look like normal cars. Their shape is closer to a toaster than a sports car, they have small little plastic looking wheels, and smiling face headlight and bumper styling.

I absolutely think cars should move away from what they are now toward something more like an appliance, but I won't enjoy it.

But who am I to talk anyway, my current car is terrible.

I find that timely feedback is essential to the pr process working effectively. A few things can help:
* submit RFC prs that are not intended to be merged early so architectural or design issues can be socialized early
* break your commits into logical chunks
* open an epic branch and merge smaller commits into it. When ready, open a new pr to merge the epic into master.

This does sound like a culture issue. Everyone should be empowered in this process and everyone needs to be involved. I think of it a check-and-balance, but we all have a responsibility to complete features to a high standard, in a timely manner. If a feature is delayed because reviews are slow, we're all responsible.
That might be the case, we will have to see. But surely it is strange to single out Russia in this way.

There are a lot of legitimate reasons to use these kinds of services. Releasing all the data is a huge privacy violation for all the customers who have done nothing wrong. Would you like much of your perfectly legal business and/or personal finance dealings suddenly made public?
Yeah honestly. You'd naively think that with increased bandwidth, we'd be playing fewer backwards games. But you'd be wrong, because more traffic actually means it's more enticing for providers to engage in such "optimization".

We're at the point where the end-to-end principle really requires strong crypto to resist economic attacks such as this one.

No, it's really free. Since the first user.

You always start with one app, this one is free and also it dependencies. So, whatever you start with, it's free. (e.g. you get accounting+invoicing for free)

But if you want one app more (e.g. inventory), then you have to pay for all apps / users. It's not "one app free", it's a "free for one app" plan.

But if you want expense management as well, you will have to pay for everything. (use vendor bills which are in accounting app, instead of expenses, so that you stay in the free plan)

Thanks, for the feedback, we really need to improve the pricing page...
Perhaps very well was an overstatment, it runs well enough to use on OSX, I always build from source and I've just done a fresh build of 4.11 on El-Capitan. Build took about an hour. Initial build of the FPS template takes about 90 seconds and runs at an average FPS of 30-35. The Blueprints template runs at about 15fps at Epic setting and about 20-25fps on high. For scenes like this, I set the engine scalability to high or medium and material quality to medium. I often work from within Windows where it all runs better.
The legend is that Bill Gates and Paul Allen wrote BASIC on a punchtape for the new Altair microcomputer while at Harvard, flew the punchtape to Albuquerque, and had the BASiC running on the first day of debugging. They had written a CPU emulator on a Harvard computer and their BASIC on top of that. So the morale is you didnt need a lot of punchtape iterations if you did it carefully. Todays semi-compilation as you type in the code may contribute to a certain intellectual laziness. It easy to recompile hundreds of times during development.
I'm guessing at some point they're gonna realize they have to come to Tesla cap in hand and ask to plug into theirs.

Tesla might say yes. They want EVs to win, not just their particular brand. They're already giving away the juice. My guess is they'd just ask the other companies to shoulder their share of the bill.

Russia's socialist days are long behind it now, for better or worse.
The historical data does not support your theory. We all know that some of the countries now belonging to the "Western world", some time ago were neither democracies, nor successful free market economies. Now we all know about German, Korean and Japanese multinationals. Adopting the "Western" way does not mean surrendering and losing political and economical sovereignity. There were trade wars and political conflicts between Western powers, they all play their own games, they just have agreed on the way of conduct for them.
Notice this is also T&M (time & materials) which is not just a fixed priced bid.. so that means someone "used" the actual working hours and materials for the $336k bill.

(Contract negotiation, etc is not explicitly built into these, they're reflected in a higher billing rate.)
Point of note: Multilateration (link [1] above) is the real name for the process that ordinary people casually call "triangulation" when they're talking about wifi location. It's not actually triangulation (which determines location based on the angle) but it's based on circles (or spheres, I guess - based on the distance).
VR is supposed to be a dumb peripheral? That's incredibly ignorant - there needs to be a lot of software work to make VR work, and the company making the hardware is also making that software... Down the line maybe these will be all plug and play compatible, but in the meantime there isn't room for zealotry.

I think everyone has been looking forward for this to happen for hundreds of years. Nothing has happened.

And Putin is more popular than ever. Take this as a critizism for Russian people. You have allowed such a bad leaders run to your country. Russians I have met, talk more about leaving the country.
Are there any plans for models after the Model3? Feels like we have been waiting for the "affordable model" for years and now that it's here there are no rumors for future models, correct?

I'd kill for a practical family wagon (I consider the Model X as being too small and without good storage, and the S as being just too expensive). The Model3 has nice looks, but it's pretty compact and it's a sedan so a complete no go .

The VW GTE wagons are perfect but they are hybrids. I suppose they will be fully electric soon, the question is how long it will take before VW and others have a similar price for batteries as Tesla?

Why do you think this is wrong? He'll have many years to figure this out - this is a longterm problem, not a short term one.

I'm betting, not on new battery technology (any element except the big 10[0] would run into the same problem), but rather on a new engine that can burn very clean synthetic hydrocarbon fuel.

But if I did have to do research on battery tech today it would be on an aluminum ion battery.

Could you imagine an API-only version of PACER where developers were free to build search, mobile, other front-ends on of it? Sure, that's basically a high school project using a MongoDB or CouchDB back-end. But legal tech is horribly antiquated and govt-legal tech has a long way to go. It seems like the best move would be API-only so that individuals and companies could build services on top.

That was my point. It might not sound like a difference from a tax, but the difference is pretty substantial when we are discussing the control of the company.
So many of these discussions take it for granted that publishers don't do anything of value. This blog post, by an open access advocate, was for me very illuminating on what value they actually add (http://cameronneylon.net/blog/polecon-of-oa-publishing-i-wha...)

Quoting from that link:
"One of the big challenges is discussing the costs and value added in managing peer review is that researchers who engage in this conversation tend to be amongst the best editors and referees. Professional publishers on the other hand tend to focus on the (relatively small number of) contributors, who are, not to put too fine a point on it, awful. Good academic editors tend to select good referees who do good work, and when they encounter a bad referee they discount it and move on. Professional staff spend the majority of their time dealing with editors who have gone AWOL, referees who are late in responding, or who turn out to be inappropriate either in what they have written or their conflicts of interest, or increasingly who don’t even exist! .... Much of the irritation you see from publishers when talking about why managing peer review is more than “sending a few emails” relates to this gap in perception. The irony is that the problems are largely invisible to the broader community because publishers keep them under wraps, hidden away so that they don’t bother the community."

I'm sure there must be some way to achieve this and also make the content freely available. But whatever system replaces the current one has to deal with these issues too.
The Volt isn't too bad. Not great. The Prius is definitely ugly.

The Tesla Model 3 looks better than either, from what I've seen, but doesn't stand out from anything else from similar priced cars from BMW, Audi, Lexus, or Mercedes. It's all very subjective however.
I've done some federal contracting and the issues seem to be cultural. The government hands out what they call "prime" contracts which are then subcontracted out to multiple other firms. The primes tend to be stodgy old companies filled with lawyers and MBAs that can win the contracts, who then view the engineers as replaceable cogs. You then interact with multiple other contractors that own particular parts of the stack, for example an independent testing contractor and another for infrastructure. It wasn't uncommon to have 5 project managers for each engineer on the project.

Coming from tech startups this was completely shocking, I was so used to an engineer driven culture. That developers couldn't write their own tests, or manage their own infra, or deploy multiple times a day was super frustrating.

There sounds like there are some great initiatives to change this old approach, but until then I can't imagine many talented devs would put up with the bureaucratic bullshit.
The best way to profit is to make it easy for developers to build software that works on their (mobile) platforms. Right now most dev's focus is iOS/Android (at least it's mine). If M$ can make it easy to produce a front end for Windows mobile and reuse all the business/server code then THAT is where they win. Selling dev toolkits doesn't bank anyone billions.
Well, they also should think of the way they will accept money, which is harder to fake.
