It's not a requirement that electric vehicles principally derive energy from fossil fuel infrastructure. Electric vehicles are the most flexible vehicles in terms of dependence on any specific energy source or infrastructure.

In Germany, solar power is much more widespread, and so it is more likely that a German electric vehicle user would be riding in a vehicle charged from solar power. This is not to say anything about solar power or Germany, but rather to speak to the flexibility of the electric vehicle. Electric vehicles can depend on an infrastructure running on nuclear energy, or anything else, making it extremely adaptive to the ecological and energy needs of the future.

On the other hand, traditional combustion engine vehicles absolutely depend on fossil fuels, and they depend on a massive infrastructure that is specific to supplying fossil fuels. For a traditional combustion vehicle to shed its utter dependence on fossil fuels would mean finding an alternative and abundant fuel source to combust, and even then it would require a highly specific infrastructure to deliver those alternative fuels.
Think about seasons, varying weather, light levels, traffic fluctuation, construction, changing parking patterns, delivery drivers/stopped trucks...the list goes on. It would be very useful to have that occur within a relatively known route, where you can isolate and model what isn't understood already.
How about the employees at all of the subcontractors each of the incumbent manufacturers uses for completed components?

Number of employees per car output is one metric meant to be a proxy for something else. Use it in a TED Talk or a newspaper editorial to make some larger point, since it is a compelling takeaway, but it's actually pretty meaningless on its own.

Being boring, and looking at sustainable production costs and what consumers are willing to pay is far closer to what matters than the shorthand of looking at employees per car.
This is just mind blowing to me.

This man is dreaming the future. Nay, he is building the future.
Interesting take on this. And I respectfully disagree. I would use Pyramid over Django any day of the week, and Flask for anything smaller.

My reasoning is that any project that needs as much as Django has built-in is going to need the custom work you put into a Pyramid project anyway, so you might as well start off there and use a nicer API from the get-go. Anything less is Flask territory from my point of view.

You've hit me with at least 3 ad hominems but no counter-evidence so far. You should stop. While you're at it, you should look up one of those Tor papers where they say they deanonymize (percentage here) traffic for all hiding in the Tor network. Then come back with the attack on my methods that deanonymized the same percentage.

You won't because it's delusional to think average or experts will be safer given all of them that were already compromised online (including Tor) remotely, stealthily, and cheaply. Versus the gangs and spooks kicking same LEO's asses with stuff simple as shortwave radio in random places and affiliated couriers delivering messages. Or has the NSA remotely uncovered a third to half of all terrorists, cartel members, or IP thieves? Wait, they're still going strong by the billions in cash and damage with impunity.

re: "it was never the size of the services that mattered: it was the connections and the relationships between them"

re relationships I would say these are better thought of through the lens of separation of concerns.

imo, connections, a la protocols like http will fade into the background and be a focus of ops. A piece of code knows to write/read data to/from _________, for which it has been authorized access by address/hashname/entity.

I think P vs. NP is one proof where insight matters a lot. As Scott Aaronson said, if CS were physics, we would have declared P != NP a law of nature a long time ago. We basically know it to be true already. A proof that we can't understand adds almost no information in this case.
It's incredibly sketchy these days. I wouldn't recommend it.

Or you program the VCR and it starts and stops recording in time. But the TV schedule is so off that you miss that movie completely. I swear that in Croatia, in the 90's, announced tv schedule was just a suggestion of what they might put on at around that timeframe. Except Santa Barbara, people went mad if that wasn't on schedule :)
I utilize comment sections to keep my writing and argumentative faculties sharp. This is not how I'd normally communicate. I don't care about karma.
The file format itself has all the information required to extract text from a rectangular area. Frameworks like PDFBox and iText have supported it from a long time.

It's upto users to define what are rows and columns. In most programmatically generated PDFs, this is easy. But in manually typeset PDFs, there are lots of edge cases like variable row heights or column widths, slanted table borders, stuff like that.
There's is no legal way to watch the latest season of Game of Thrones etc. in my country. Even if it was, I'm sure it would be overpriced compared to local economy. Same for computer games, they cost 40-50 Eur in a country where the average wage is less than 600 Eur/month.
The last sentence of your post is strange and difficult to parse. You love it when people communicate in ways that align with their worldview? OK fair enough.

But you're really just throwing around a bunch of innuendo and five-dollar words to suggest the incentive structure that Tesla (and all other automakers) have at their disposal is bogus. You've provided no evidence, and Occam's Razor offers a much more reasonable explanation: becoming energy independent and sustainable would be in our national interest in a massive way, and policymakers decided these incentives offer a reasonable risk / reward for accelerating that goal.

If you object on some philosophical / libertarian grounds then fine, I disagree with you but can understand where you're coming from. But don't throw around unsubstantiated claims of corruption and "insidious realities" and expect anyone to be sympathetic to your argument when you're not actually saying anything of substance.
I'm having trouble understanding this statement and its motivation. Under what definition of "interesting" can any "unreasonably" long theorem statement be of interest to humans, and what makes you this class of theorems is numerous?
Regular Expression Matching Can Be Simple and Fast (2007)
This seems more like a sneer than a legitimate criticism. AFAIK Tesla's business is fundamentally pretty solid. They make a net profit on their cars, but they are currently investing it all into aggressive expansion. Is it surprising that a young, growing company is spending a lot on growth compared to a century-old company? Do you think it would be better for Tesla if they didn't invest in the future?
So tesla is in the business of making Model 3 factory factories.
That doesn't make proofs any shorter or any more elegant, though. The same "noticing patterns" can be done on the proof in non-FP form. C-H is basically an observation about encoding.

Thanks for the heads up, I just fixed it! mailparser.io is my other product which I launched a couple of years ago.

tried chickenshit, laughing ass off
Another interesting point of view. So I thought I would throw in my two cents on this.

I started web development using Django, then tried Pyramid, and finally moved on to Flask. And since picking up Flask, I haven't gone back...and I wouldn't go back to "heavier" frameworks...although I have considered taking a peak at a couple other micro-frameworks.

I have a couple strong (personal) reasons for this (read: YMMV), but the biggest thing for me is I see web development moving towards a strict separation between front-end and back-end (SPA's, web assembly, microservices, etc.) as well as multi-model/multi-storage. Neither of which lend itself well to all-inclusive framework solutions IMO.

At the end of the day I guess the take away is to remember that it's great to have so many strong frameworks each with its own strengths to choose from in the Python ecosystem.
No industry counts the number of employees within a supply chain. It might be impossible and it's half the point in having separate SC entities...it's irrelevant to a car manufacturer how many miners various aluminium companies feel they need to hire, say.

I don't formally keep a journal, but I've written a great deal that's still accessible, mostly by virtue of being online in various personae.

Yes, there's a period of your life when much of your writing is juvenile. My experience has been that there came a point where what I was writing took a distinct tone and clarity and actually managed to be good at times. I still catch myself liking and/or being amused by my various thoughts.

There's also the evolution of ideas and interests. Mine have evolved quite distinctly as I've passed through some five decades, almost, and watching what's changed, and what's remained constant, in that evolution is also fascinating. Well, for me, anyway.
Sure, it's a simplified model to illustrate the mechanism radically lowering the need for parking spots.

Which is quite different from "car savings", if we're being picky.
I have this funny feeling that FreeView certification in the UK and Australia on DVRs means restricting transferring videos from the device. Happy to be corrected on that one.

I don't own a DVR at the moment but my parents do. Getting recordings off that one means figuring out the (temporary) URL that DLNA/uPNP uses for playback and pointing wget at it.
That's right! The user defines a rectangular area and we then extract the raw text based on the position. For table extraction we use tabula.java under the hood.
My parents bought an early DVD recorder.

That had the simplicity of a VCR, but with no waiting to rewind or fast-forward, much smaller media, and far better picture quality.
TN visa at international airport
I am currently in the USA with TN status. I was laid off on April 28,2016 but my i-94 was valid until Nov 30,2016. I have overstayed for 75 days and now I have fulltime job. So i am travelling to Vancouver from SFO and return back to SFO by applying new TN at the airport. My queries are:
1.Will there be any problem with getting new TN as I have overstayed for 75 days which i did not know?
2.Is 5 hrs transit time enough for applying TN visa at the international airport?
My family is in the US and my leased car and rented place. So hoping they will not deny my entry.

But not even the proposed example does a great job regarding entity salience.

> Google, headquartered in Mountain View, unveiled the new Android phone at the Consumer Electronic Show. Sundar Pichai said in his keynote that users love their new Android phones.

Results in:

Google - Organization, salience: 0.27

Mountain View - Location, salience: 0.10

Sundar Pichai - Person, salience: 0.07

CES - Event, salience: 0.07

Android - Consumer Good: 0.07

So "Android" which is a central piece in the announcement ranks lower than "Mountain View", which is mostly irrelevant.

You are spot on. The reason why this list resonated with me is that I am an "enthusiast and web developer". It's confirmation bias at play.

As you said, this is still interesting, even if not accurate in absolute terms, as an indicator of what technologies are currently emerging among passionate developers.

I'm not totally convinced that allowing developers to build faster is really all that great of an idea. At least not the sacred ideal that seems to be accepted without any question.

Most of what I see when people are moving fast is building things as fast as they can think of them based on the first idea that comes to mind that sounds like it might get things done.

But the reality is that the first way that you think of implementing something isn't always the best. It's often just about the worst. Giving people the ability to take any whim of a design and run with it all the way to production isn't the best thing overall for software quality.

Perhaps I'm alone here, but I'd like for developers to slow down and put some thought into what they are building, and how it's supposed to work, and if it's going to be able to do what it needs to do. I see a lot of "close enough" in my line of work.

I know it's different in a startup, where testing the idea now is important, and I'm not slamming that. But the vast majority of developers don't work in startups where getting a product to market before a competitor is the difference between making billions and going home broke.

We temper our desire for perfection by reminding ourselves that good enough is okay for now. I'd like us to temper our desire for speed by remembering that there is such a thing as soon enough.
I tend to not be a fan of ideologues or zealots, no matter their persuasion. If a Jewish entrepreneur were basing their real estate development plans on Talmudic scholarship, I would be similarly skeptical.

I'm still confused why people would use a backtracking regex engine in cases when they don't need recursive regex extensions (or other questionable extensions like back references). A "correct" (from the CS perspective) regex engine wouldn't have had this or many other problems that people encounter when doing regular expression matching. If they had piped out to sed or awk this wouldn't have happened, since GNU grep, sed and awk use a proper regex engine.

They're only missing one feature: back references. This feature is not needed for the majority of regular expressions, so the 30 year old engines are actually remarkably useful and don't have these pathologies. And actually it was the introduction of back references (in Perl) that causes you to have to implement backtracking regular expression engines.
Sonic is an interesting example.

Every single Ethereum dev I know - and pretty nearly everyone else in the community - owns far more ETH than they do DAO, if they own any DAO at all. So this 'explanation', which I see over and over again, just doesn't scan: The financially rational thing for anyone in that position to do is to maximise the value of the ether they have, not to try and rescue a proportionally small amount held in DAO tokens.

Disclaimer: I recently joined the Ethereum-go team. I have 30 ether worth of DAO tokens (and about 500 ether not invested in anything).
