I said access to source was something we had come to expect but it was out of the question.

If a car is frequently driven in abnormally severe conditions, perhaps by a bad driver, for many more miles than a routine service check would warrant, it may be useful to point out the irregularity of the circumstance.
Agree.

Plus he has given lot of pointers so it's a matter of time someone find the comment and start trial-and-error to discover how to exploit the bug.
This, so much this.

There's no reason why this page couldn't work without JavaScript. It's a poll and a display of the results.

Sure, enhance it with JavaScript: that's great, and it's cool, and it's useful. But don't force people to execute code when all they really need to do is POST a form and then GET a page.

People who do this are wrong.
I think the title can be alleged mostly to the misconception which is prevalent at Microsoft since F# was introduced as a commercial product (before it used to be a Microsoft Research product).

Maybe you are unaware of that?

F# is a pretty good general purpose programming language and that is what the title and article tries to promote (albeit it doesn't give enough and diversified examples).

F# is also a reasonably easy programming language which puts emphasis first on "functional programming" (which you frame as hot keyword, I doubt the language was made to fill a hot keyword).

I don't know about the for pay contents of fsharp.tv, but I gather they might be introductory and try to bring understanding of "functional programming" aspects to an audience which isn't versed in it, it is sure good for them if "functional programming" is a hot keyword and people are looking for training material to pickup that language, but I wouldn't dismiss that as being spammy.

It's never too late to do the right thing. It may be expensive, and it may require swallowing one's pride, and it may not have the same benefits that doing it earlier would have, but it's never too late.

And this is different from the "GPS Navigation" .."upgrade" most other manufactures make you pay $2,000 - $3,000 for...when the GPS is built in by default to almost every new car now.

This is actually a really smart move by Tesla. They are able to offer a lower cost version of the car, without changing anything on the manufacturing side. Thus increase sales through a lower price entry point.
So, a web of static files with hyperlinks?
My only complaint would be that the extra weight of the batteries reduces my range to no benefit to me, should I keep my car at the S60 level.
you know what makes the news overwhelming to digest? choosing to drink from the mouth of the firehose, and depending on repeating stories to see them, instead of a clean historical record to pour over.

there would be a lot less news if people went back and read what they missed, instead of waiting for it to get brought up again.
Fetch has its own issues - not being able to abort a fetch, or recieve progress notifications are frustrating if you require them.

But the deficiencies of fetch() are another topic entirely, and I tend to use it (polyfilled tbh) for the majority of my async requests because I like the rest of its implementation.
I'm not following how that's different than any other platform that receives email, From: addresses aren't verified.

There are a lot of 'serious' offences that don't involve hurting people. A few high-school nerds 'plot' to blow up the moon, no big deal. A few disgruntled people 'plot' to blow up a bridge = prison.

The FBI get's away with charging people with Pre-crime for attacks that probably would not have happened.

It's an old tactic. Angry, but non violent people can challenge the system. But, add an Agent Provocateur and you can flip things around so they seem like they are the problem.

Ask HN: We made a mobile forms app in React-Native, now what?
Me and a friend from college built this app which makes it super easy to build forms on mobile, share them with your team, and collect structured data collaboratively. Link below

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.formapp

We launched a production version last week, and since then, from whatever sales we have done, we have found that different people are using this app differently.

People are using it for things like lead management, field staff assessment, inventory management, delivery management, maintaining balance sheet, and field research. Each of this use case belongs to individual users.

Now, we find ourselves stuck. My dad has suggested that we have a mobile-erp solution at our hands, and there are literally a thousand different directions we can think off for taking this app forward. But we feel stuck.

We need a lot of feedback on this app to identify what exactly should we make of this app. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

PS: If its worth anything, I'd be giving out 1000 in-app credits to anyone who gives some feedback on this app. You can find my twitter profile link in my HN bio, just drop me a tweet. Thanks.
Example:

Person A talks to person B. Person B supports terrorism. Person B does not mention terrorism in any communication with person A. Therefore, person A knows nothing, has done nothing wrong, and has nothing to worry about.
Is there supposed to be a /s at the end?

Isn't the price kind of arbitrary? Would you accept this with any other product? Like buying a cheaper house because some of the rooms are walled off, or a hard drive that has a few GB of unremovable data, until you pay more.

> it only takes contacting the wrong person randomly some day for that wannabe terrorist to become an actual terrorist

I don't think that's true. It takes much more: Someone must be willing to give up their current life, career, friends and family; engage in very dangerous and socially taboo activities; train and acquire skills; kill; etc.

Most people don't have the motivation to leave a bad job or relationship. Retail sales isn't even as easy as you describe: Not every inquiry is a sale.
Please take this with a grain of salt. The author has spent a good deal of her time lately denouncing Hillary and endorsing Trump, which may imply bias. I make no claims about the content though, as I did not finish reading it due to the authors incessant use of sarcasm and open ended questions. I am sorry but a non-biased analytical article does not end paragraphs with "The logic of an innocent person at work, no doubt."

I am a little disappointed. I generally hold the HN community in the high esteem, and don't expect to see content like this. I would love to read up on this topic in an article without an overt agenda though.
To actually get this type of conviction there has to be TONS of hard evidence to the point where in layman terms things are beyond what is typically considered 'conspiring'.

For example, this dude got convicted for 'conspiracy and other offences' after his buddies were 'firing assault rifles at security personnel and law enforcement officers' and ended up getting killed.

> You know how applications used to be have an "Advanced" button that'd give you a nicely organized display off all the "extra" toggles?

I think your example of about:config is also an explanation for why that went away. It used to be possible to reasonably put all of the more esoteric settings on a single page (or a small, single-digit, number of pages), but that's no longer the case for many pieces of software. Also realistically the overwhelming majority of users probably already weren't going into the advanced settings, and those that were are probably more capable of handing about:config.
Problem: terrorists armed with fully automatic assault rifles, bullet proof vests, and covered in explosives murder innocent French and Belgians in the streets. Solution: disarm the french and Belgians before it happens again!

I don't think this is a software upgrade or newer version of the software. They are simply saying for additional money they can enable additional features that are already part of the cars code base. Like buying an in-app purchase in an iPhone app. Or like on BMW enabling all the connected features.

While I imagine the author hoped to try to put this in a negative light to stir up controversy, this of course is actually a great thing. As with any other car, if you have a car and want much better mileage or a big new feature like self driving, you won't be paying 9K for the feature you will be spending 50-100K+ since your only option is to buy an entirely new car every few years to get the latest features.

Any to get the new features I don't need to pay all the thousands associated with getting a new car, as well as negotiating on a new car, and everything else associated with it. Of course Tesla could just offer all features and build in the 9K in the car, and thus not allowing anyone who can't afford all the features to ever have a tesla. Instead they price it so people who want a tesla but dont necessary need some of those features a chance to buy the car, and then later get those features if they save up. Win win for everyone.

But most likely people complaining will be the same people who complain about the entry level storage on an iPhone. They would rather apple not sell it at all, than let people who can't afford the higher amount be able to buy an iPhone at all.
That's true, but I still can't shake the feeling that a ton more actual money cycled through Powerpoint (and Word, Excel, etc.) than Snapchat or Instagram will ever make.

I could be wrong.
@k__: you're right, but the article does not consider the long-term downtime, which is a bit harder to measure (and it does affect the user-experience less than a 5% loss rate).
The solution for long-term downtime is having a backup connection on a different medium and with a different service provider.
Not a deal of the century it would have just delayed the MS machine a little.

Back then they either bought you out (Power Point) or they out Advertised or eventually caught up and passes you (Word Perfect).
> Consider that humans are generally easily, predictably persuadable

That may be true, but it undermines much of the legal code. A 'predictably persuadable' person can be talked into giving someone a ride, that person commits a homicide in the commission of a robbery, and then the 'predictably persuadable' person is legally responsible for the murder as well.

So, you may be correct that we need a more sophisticated understanding of mens rea into our legal code, but the premise of your objection is fairly far-reaching. We should be deliberate and thoughtful about embracing it fully, even if it is true and fair.

I Just got weirdly excited by this. I had heard of it before but never really though about what I could do with it. But then I'm never really sure if I understand it completely yet.

If i just want to set up a server that me and my friends would use. I can just make a server. they would register on it and we would be good to go? I don't have to join the federation if I don't want to? I understand the advantages of doing so though.

People don't make "rational" decisions in the face of perceived injustice.
I don't know. I've been following this news, and one example is a case where the FBI hired a woman to chat with one of these guys all day and all night. The guy was suicidal, and her whole script was "You should hurt other people, not yourself"

She managed to convince this guy to say "ok" to taking guns after months of that sort of behavior.

I think you're being overly credulous. You can listen to the actual recorded conversations here: https://theintercept.com/2016/04/21/listen-to-an-fbi-honeypo...
So the criticism is that apps alone, without a web presence, cannot be "searchable" and "sharable". "Deep-linkable" is still possible; your app can handle and resolve URLs that another app could not. And I'm going to assume that it's the content of the app we're discussing, and not the app itself, since that's kind of trivial.

So, the question is, without a web presence or API of some type, how exactly is data expected to be searched and shared by third-party participants? If the argument is that apps don't solve the problem of having a universal ontology, then I think the GP is not quite understanding just how intractable a problem that has been in computer science for a very long time.
Consider companies that modify the amount of horsepower the engine makes not with components but with different ecu software (tunes if you like).
Soon Tesla will send you a text message as soon as your battery is low, trying to sell you a temporary boost so that you can get to the next charger safely. At least my mobile provider does that as soon as my data volume is almost used up.

Funny. This company likes to get brownie points for being environmental. We all know that those batteries are not guilt-free when it comes to the environment. They're wasting our earth's precious resources by putting extra capacity which may never be used ;-)
Apple HLS in HTML5
Just like every other car manufacturer?

My understanding is that you choose which car to buy, and then you pay them thousands to flip a bit to enable extra horse power, on the same hardware.

Or you get some shady garage to chip it for you.
Maybe we can fix what you don't like about Javascript while keeping the good parts? http://imgur.com/zY6Iu7D
it is 'paket.references' file next to each proj file and a single 'paket.dependencies' at the root of the repository.

You can also integrate the restore part to msbuild so it works out of box from visual studio, msbuild, teamcity, whatever.

People prefer though to have separate restore packages step, the same way people prefer to use a better tool than raw msbuild to orchestrate build tasks (tool such as FAKE http://fsharp.github.io/FAKE/).

So not equal opportunity with those who don't want to have a child.
Licensing vs ownership of things I buy is getting to be a real grey area. Businesses definitely want to license content to me rather than sell it, at least in a legal sense.

For example, when I buy a DVD, I don't really own it. I own a physical copy of the media with a license to only play it in an approved player.

This has spread a bit for example to gaming. Katamari Damacy for the 360 was actually shipped with DLC on the game disc that you had to pay additional money to unlock, and it wasn't the only one.

If I were rich enough to afford a Tesla, I guess it would probably be against the license to use the hardware I have to the fullest (if I didn't pay for it), because Tesla doesn't want that and I've only licensed their software.
Yes, so advanced that new versions by competitors that do the exact same thing seem to pop up weekly
> Outside of cities you're limited to 100km/h (or less ofc - but 100km/h is the maximum you'll get if we ignore rare cases with 4+ lane roads and a solid barrier in the middle 120km/h

That's not quite correct. The speed limit is generally 100 km/h outside of cities, except when there are either two lanes (or more) per direction and a line between the two different directions or if there are less than two lanes per direction, but there is a sold barrier between them. In those cases there is no speed limit, just like on the Autobahn.

I don't think it's always so clearly a terrorism plot. The "Fort Dix Five" basically just bought illegal guns in a deal set up by an informant fearing deportation.

I am unabashedly in support of using presentation software for initial UI design. For basic wireframing, you don't need much more than the ability add shapes, text, color, images + a way to demonstrate user flow (e.g. by ordering slides). Presentation software is perfect for this. It is accessible to everyone, lets non-technical users offer constructive input and is just incredibly fast to get something basic circulated.
I love that Africa is the highest continent (at time of posting) for "learning" and "opportunity." I've seen some articles about entrepreneurs in various African countries and it's always amazing how much impact they're able to have with limited materials, and access to the web can get you a lot.
Well, let's say I don't have any children, but I think I might have 2-3 in the next 5-10 years. I would definitely buy a small house with a nice master at a lower price that I can instantly upgrade later, especially if I don't actually see the walled off rooms and the footprint of my house just somehow magically changes in software. It sounds awesome and I would definitely sign up for that.
I think the environmental aspect is a key point.
I agree regarding how it applies to the legal code (EDIT: though the law has allowances for these things too), but at the same time we need to be realistic; the legal code isn't reality. And we need to be responsible: We can't just say that because it's legal then it's ok.

The FBI has a choice; it doesn't need to pursue these people. Prosecutors can decline to prosecute. Juries can temper their conclusions and judges can temper their sentences. Etc.
I think that supporting Trump on alt-right grounds while once claiming to support the "NAP" style of "freedom" is a textbook example of being so sharp you cut yourself. One doesn't obtain freedom from state intervention of any kind by putting an egotistical fascist strongman into power.

> You can decide what level of audio performance you want and then buy headphones that provide that performance.

That's a great point. And for people like me who don't use audio on their phones ( other than the occasional voice call ) it means I'm not paying for other people's use-cases.
I believe that it happens, I am just saying that I believe the 3.5mm to be the toughest port on the phone in my experience.
There was no engine in the front of that car.
My understanding is that your claim is no true. Sure, some horse power upgrades are hardware within the model, but some are just bit flips in software.

Do you have a source for your claim?
This is a genuinely accidental omission - the spec is either PD, a CC variant or ASLv2. Will work out which and post it.
This is a really great case study, but I can't help but think some of the improvement comes from it being the second attempt at the project.

I'd really like to see some case studies going the other way: F# --> C# [or C++].

At the least, you could do C# --> C# [ie complete rewrite].
Any time you do a rewrite with more knowledge of what worked and what didn't, you'll have a better system.

So ultimately, the essay [like most] leaves the question: Is F# better? Or is it just that complete rewrites can provide substantial improvement?
Yes to all. However, unlike most consumer electronics, Teslas allow you to manually set the maximum charge it will take at any given time. I usually keep mine at 90%, for example, and only charge to 100% for long trips.

If you take the 75 option, you could keep the charge limiter set to 80% for normal use and achieve the same effect as keeping a software-limited 60 at 100%, but with the option to bump it up when you need more.
When people have to fork over 9k, I'd bet they will start caring.
Stable and documented like SQLite.

Oh wait we did a step in that direction with WebSQL until mozilla killed it out of not invented here syndrome.
I want to suggest looking at a language like Erlang/Elixir that didn't start out from corporate self-interest (i.e., was open-source from the get-go) but a rising functional tide floats all boats. (And besides, Elixir "borrowed" a few good ideas from F#.)

I've had nothing but good experiences during my forays into functional langs. Here's to a more functional, immutable, easily-concurrent, easily-unit-tested future
