There's already a problem with people who live near superchargers using them for everyday charging. Tesla has already been sending angry letters to owners who do this, reminding them that the superchargers are supposed to be only for people on long road trips. They can't actually threaten to cut off someone's supercharger access, because the purchase agreement for every Model S specifies irrevocable free access to superchargers for life, so all they can do is send letters and try to talk them out of abusing it.

And as somebody else linked in this thread, they're going to start charging new customers for access when the Model 3 comes out, which will either fix the problem or make Tesla a lot of money off it.
Are they actually open-sourcing it? There doesn't seem to be link to the code in sight.

I've always been very impressed by Sun's talent, the team was . And thank you for dtrace! :) If only Linux community / leaders would be less arrogant and adopt technologies from Solaris/BSD that are order of magnitude better (kqueue, netgraph and more) instead of coming up with new ways to screw up.

Sun should be resurrected now given that risc is leading the way and build everything on top of ARM! :). if only.
The redline is almost never the point of peak horsepower. This is primarily driven by the fact that the valves can't close/open fast enough at these speeds. Its much worse on domestic vehicles that have to care about fuel efficiency (and so can't use stiffer springs) but the effect is still visible even in race cars.
I think automated discovery software for tax law is still probably very limited in capability.

Sorry, the server was struggling for a moment. We fixed it.

It's an OS admittedly in the metaphorical sense -- the same sense that your browser is an OS. That is, a platform that runs higher-level programs. Urbit doesn't run on bare metal, though it could, in the same sense that your browser could.

In fact, one way of describing Urbit is "the browser for the server side." In the same way that your browser replaces a bunch of individual client apps with one native client that's a platform for higher-level programing, Urbit s/client/server/. Does that help?
Except that security engineer : customer ratio doesn't make sense as a metric. Those 1000 customers all need the same thing - for their data in the cloud to be secure. They don't have differing security requirements that pull the engineers apart in different directions.

So it really is a comparison of 1-2 security engineers vs 100-200 security engineers.
>Any mind which could make such an assertion implicitly assumes there is value in making such a statement, and thus implicitly assumes whatever existential values are necessary to support a world where such assertions are possible.

Is-Ought shows us that Facts can't give us Values. Like you note, any human talking about any of this first "implicitly assumes there is value in making such a statement". More indication Moral Realism is the case and that values exist objectively. This is also why Christians likewise laugh at Nihilists/Empiricists. As CS Lewis put it "if the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning".

>moral facts exist because our behavior is bound by certain 'themes'...humans fundamentally cannot reason or survive without employing moral language

Nothing inside strict Empiricism or cold Reason indicates that humans must survive. Humans can insist they as a species are important and that humankind must survive until they are blue in the face and it wouldn't make it so. They can write book after book declaring that they have value but that wouldn't tell us they actually have value. However, if there were a book that declared that humans had value, that each and every human retained a non-subjective/mind-independent/objective and priceless value called imago dei and that their existence was deemed objectively good and in fact this book was the work of a non-subjective authority then this would change things.
That's a much stronger claim. Arguably doesn't mean what it says; it's more like a slightly weaker plausible.
Finally getting down to brass tacks: "Is this a lisp? Is this basically emacs? At a certain level this is basically emacs."

> The only strategy I can see with the absurd amounts of fundraising is that they are trying to get enough money to sustain the subsidies until they kill all existing competition, at which point they can raise their prices and people will have no choice but to pay them

The taxi company I drove for has contracts with many government agencies to transport poor & unfortunate people around. People have to get to their doctor (Arizona Medicaid) appointments, to the hospital, home from the hospital, foster kids transported to meetings with their parents, etc.

These fares pay better than Uber's non-surge fares.

/methinks "ride share" companies are run by founders suffering from delusions of grandeur. When they run out of venture capital, the realities of transporting people from place to place will reassert themselves.

This is a hugely fallacious argument.

Everyone focuses on something, if you want to extend your argument he should have also focused on diet, type of exercise, type of housing slaves are kept in, etc.

Focusing on every single factor that could possibly effect slavery would be an endeavor probably greater than the average lifetime.

Saying that some group of people or another would likely make better slaves than others is no different than saying that a certain group is more likely to be poor than another or be in jail than another. It may be considered in bad taste to discuss, but it isn't morally wrong to discuss.

It is simply remarking on what is, not what should be.

> I've been watching Rust on that Benchmarks Game site for a while — it's been interesting to see it go from worse than Java a year or so ago to competitive with C++

To be clear, Rust-the-language has not sped up significantly in the past year. It's just that a few dedicated people decided to try to win the benchmarks game strictly for PR purposes [0].

Chances are, for very algo-heavy (i.e. unrealistic) workloads, there are two ways to write it in Rust - fast and safe or very fast and unsafe. (e.g. one can disable bounds checking and get maybe a 2% speedup).

All this really serves to show is how artificial the benchmarks are.

More like 3D TV - lots of parallels between the two in terms of hardware limitations (need to wear something on your head), cost, etc.
If such a decision is overwhelmingly likely a bad choice, most likely yes.

However, obviously there's always potential risks and costs involved in outsourcing that need to be taken into account when evaluating such decisions.

This would also presumably require that the leadership be informed of the obviously better course of action.
This is why I'm keen on "fossil scm", especially for small projects. It uses similar syntax to cvs and subversion, but you have a full local copy of the entire repository. The local repository acts as a buffer between the centralized repository and the living on disk code. Also helps that fossil has very few dependencies and is a single self contained executable for everything. And it uses sqlite as its data store.

That OS/2 2.0 fiasco is one of my favorite topics, particularly the parts relating to Microsoft.
Thanks, that makes a lot more sense now. I remember using the reverse of that strategy in Railroad Tycoon 2: if my company had a lot of cash, I'd buy up as many shares of a smaller company as I could, and then make a wildly-over-the-top bid for it to divert my company's money into my pocket!

Interestingly, I think it capped the amount you could offer at something like 2x the current market price, their own version of imposing an "arm's length" restriction...

Because someone else will say yes. Even if you win the battle you'll lose the war. I imagine that's why raising awareness, engaging in public discourse about it and pushing for reform or change industry-wide is a common theme.

And you're probably working on games because you're passionate about them so considering the hop over to a job doing $boring_thing vs. crunch time abuse is choosing between a rock and a hard place.

Yep. I've been creeped on by drivers before. Not many, but it's enough that I've taken to cancelling more rides than I would have in the past (generally: male driver I don't know + low rating + nighttime = cancel). Having to deal with sharing a car with not just one stranger, but two or more strangers? Nuh-uh. At least most drivers won't creep on me because they want to keep their jobs; fellow passengers, on the other hand, don't have that incentive.

> FDR did exactly that.

And a lot of those people died.

"Building infrastructure" is also not a long-term plan. We need it right now because we haven't seriously invested in infrastructure in three generations, but if we spent 10 years building all new bridges then we would be good for another three generations again. Which would be great, but then what?

> Or, lets have one mother watch 4 children - her own and those of 3 strangers. This is a common arrangement in most of the world. Are Americans just somehow less capable than Indians, Mexicans, Peruvians and South Africans?

Which the mother receiving the basic income can still do in return for money or favors or in kind services. But with the basic job, at some point the government says we have enough people providing daycare and you're digging ditches all day even if you would prefer to be raising your kids.

And notice how those arrangements work in other countries (and here for that matter) -- you watch all the kids today, someone else watches all the kids tomorrow. When you're not watching the kids you're washing clothes or doing errands or preparing food. And people tend to be much happier when they're doing that kind of work for their own families and communities than doing it for rude strangers at minimum wage.

> So now take the actual distribution of income in the US (rather than a hypothetical one) and calculate what numbers would be necessary to balance exactly.

OK, let's see. Mean household income is $72,641, there are 122,952K households so total income is $8,931,356,232K, therefore providing a $10,000 basic income for 245M adults would require a flat tax rate of ~27.43%. Or if you like a progressive tax then maybe a 20% bracket and a 30% bracket. And that rate is an overestimate because it doesn't include any revenue from corporate taxes.

I've heard good things about this: http://smartairfilters.com/en which is really just a fan with a HEPA filter attached to it.
The issue with using a setup like this is that you run the risk of having inconsistent snapshots, where several related files were snapshotted at different points in time. I'm not sure how this lash-up works with something like a database, where you have to have a consistent copy of a single file as well.

If you use Btrfs (or ZFS if you're on FreeBSD or illumos) then you can have proper filesystem snapshots with essentially no overhead. Since both filesystems are transactional, you're guaranteed to get a snapshot of a single transaction (resulting in no inconsistency). Unfortunately due to partial writes in database files, Btrfs has some performance issues when having copy-on-write enabled (which is required if you want snapshots) for a database file.
People say this a lot, so I am not picking on you, but I don't get this argument at all. Amazon does it, so does Lasership and Seamless and Fedex and WalMart and a million other variations.
