Wikipedia has more accurate numbers, mine were a not entirely great summary:

The delta was about 2,500 cars. Adding cars in transit from Q1 to the Q2 production numbers, then subtracting sales and cars in transit, there are about 1,400 missing cars. I'm not sure exactly what those would be, perhaps filling out their Model X loaner and showroom fleet or something.

Of course it would be better, but I thought it was implausible that the code would be public given that the corpus is private. I guess it's possible though.
What exactly are the implications of this for construction engineering, which must already have some way of measuring vibrations?

I.e. does this measure something previously unmeasurable, or is it just that the visualization provides an extra channel for interpreting the data?

Or is it that it would make this kind of tool available to anyone with a digital camera?

Yosemite Slammed: Record Crowds Make America’s National Parks Hard to Bear
Honestly it took me a long time to turn 'anger' into 'acceptance' and then into 'context' regarding this subject. I was raised in a very frugal home that spent good money on "good" things (ex: education, learning experiences, an Encyclopedia Set for Christmas one year), avoided really buying in to materialism (ex: driving older, paid off cars) and I appreciate how different this was from apparently a great deal of my peers. It's unfortunate. If I could go back and tell my parents to cool it with the "success is earned here in the US more often than not" line of motivation and be a little more realistic about power dynamics, I wouldn't have spent as much time trying to figure it out, to see things as they kind of sort of work. I'm not angry anymore, per se, just becoming a grumpy old man, as one is wont to do.
> I was thinking of a test program that inverts/cycles the screen colour on registering a keypress. Put a photodiode in front of the monitor and use an electrical switch across the controller button contacts. Cheap parts and an oscilloscope will give microsecond resolution for the end-to-end net case.

This, essentially, is one of the ways we measure end-to-end touch latency on modern phones.

This is a poor rant. You never managed to change the terminal in grub? You couldn't change the background in KDE? These are PICNIC problems. It seems like you're frustrated about a lot of things, which is understandable, linux desktop is very far from perfect. You're also sticking with a distro that's essentially for enterprise server use. Throw that in with a few questionable practices (30 terminals windows?) then yes, I can see why you're not very happy. It seems like you're just taking out _your_ frustration on the linux desktop experience. I finally binned off windows in the last bastion it had in my personal life about 6 months ago (laptop) and it's been great. YMMV.
I suspect that the reason you'd see a stronger "skill" signal in the fantasy results than in the sport itself is that professional players are a hugely skewed sample. When a player starts doing noticeably badly, they get dropped. Face the professional hockey players off against non-professionals and you'd see the signal jump right out.

Fantasy sites, on the other hand, aren't filtering out people that play terribly nearly as aggressively. So I'm not sure if this is the right kind of test. It's comparing against a signal-expunging process.
Also, you see lots of crazy drivers: if you drive with the flow of traffic, you only see a few other cars, but if you drive 30 miles an hour faster than the flow of traffic, you see tons of cars.

"GCs are complex and require lots of end-user tuning -- just look at the performance articles on Java."

These articles are bullshit. Most settings are either obsolete or forcing the default. The rest is just useless.

I spent months doing performance tuning of applications stacks which were using Java (for app, database or both). Most of the settings are useless and barely change +-1% in performance.

The JVM has had good defaults for a while. The only thing one MUST configure is the -Xmn and -Xmx options to set the maximum amount of memory allocated to the java process (both settings to the same value).
I agree and I also hope that sex will stop being separated from love/affection/intimacy and treated as a purely physiological act/transaction. This "pragmatic" approach may be an Anglo-saxon thing, though, I think they are still pretty romantic in Italy and France (and other countries) :-)

No. If that was true, Best Buy would have big billboards that say "Meilleur Achat". "Canadian Tire" would be "Pneus Canadiens". They don't. The law don't ask for it.

> Also, realistically if you hire many programmers who only speak English, it's simply not realistic to hire a programmer who speaks French exclusively because he can't communicate with the team.

That's the entire point of the law. It's the very reason it's there. To prevent business from hiring an all english staff which would prevent local people from working there.

Edit: Some of it may not make sense to you because we are working in the tech industry. The abuses those laws are there to protect against happen mostly to minimum wage workers in the industrial sector. Some people could get hurt if the machines are not labelled correctly. I admit that stickers on the photocopying machine is a joke but it could be life and death when we are talking about a big industrial machines filled with saws.

Lets not put the cart before the horse :-)

A bug was just discovered (a glaring blindspot, literally) in existing Model S. The workaround was to disable that feature until a solution is found. That workaround involves a steering wheel. If another bug is found that is similar to this one than those cars without a wheel will sit in driveways until the both the NTSB and NHTSA are satisfied. These investigations can take years and Tesla owners will not be happy about it.
Because its sales volume is constantly raising. About 50% year to year. Also, a lot of the money gets used for building the production infrastructure. Tesla owns now a car manufacturing plant in Freemont and the Gigafactory in Nevada just had its opening party. These are real values Tesla owns.

But then, I cannot understand how Whats App could be valued 19 billion...
I completely agree. At what point is it EVER ok to destroy scientific research data? I understand that in some fields the experiment products can be MASSIVE and storing that raw data might be impossible or impractical (i.e. baseband radio data that might be terabytes per hour). In this case it's maybe a few tens of gigabytes of data if the files were properly digitized? At most a few tens of terabytes, which is chump change!

I agree with the author's comments that this seems like retroactive action taken when it came to light that there might be other factors involved (the other lesion, etc). Or to prevent re-interpretation of her findings that might point out things she ignored/hid.
The chemical, wetware, fluid and ternary computing concepts mentioned in the article I guess make for a good headline but seem highly unlikely.

In the short term I really think we are entering the era of accelerators. Accelerators like Micron's Automata Processor (1) for graph analysis, accelerators for compute intensive applications like Convolutional Neural Nets, continued innovation in DSPs, GPUs, etc.

Accelerators that can either outperform traditional processors or use significantly less power I think represent one of the major next steps after Moore's law. What comes next may well be a slime mold computer but I think at this point is pure speculation.

I think there are two related problems with your argument. The first is that everybody has to major in something, so a preponderance of men in one group of majors has to be balanced by a preponderance of women in another group. The statistics are two sides of the same coin.

Second, an unspoken perception is that there is a hierarchy of majors with STEM at one end, and well, something else at the other end. Some majors have weeder courses, others don't. Some majors have GPA requirements for entry, others don't. Nobody drops out of <low tier major> because it's too hard, and majors in chemical engineering instead.

I saw this weeding happen when I taught a freshman algebra course at a big ten university. There were kids who, thanks to their performance in my course, weeded themselves out of their chosen majors. Not every student is in their first choice of major, for a variety of reasons.

No explicit law - a termination in this instance would not be intrinsically illegal.

But it opens up the company to legal liability - the combination of absolutely no records of performance problems, no change in needs of the company, as well as the very obvious motivation to avoid paying a contractual payout, makes this a gaping liability hole if someone wanted to bring suit to the company.

For the record I never even hinted at suing the company, my impression is that this muscling-out move was done by the CTO and once HR caught wind of it they put the kibosh on it. As for why the CTO did it, I don't think I'll ever know - it may have to do with him trying (and failing) to leverage my immigration status (H-1B) to keep me at the company.

You specifically, unlikely.

Your generation brought in Reagan. Your generation (along with Gen X) pretty much has run the government since 2000. The great shift to the right was largely your doing and would never have been sustained if your generation wasn't what it was. :/

http://www.people-press.org/2015/04/30/a-different-look-at-g...

You brought the country so far to the right your generation actually flipped from R to D. It was truly quite the amazing transformation from relative sanity to batshit crazy. It completely obliterated balance in this country.

> “Goldwater’s nomination in 1964 was a historical disaster for the conservative movement,” Roy tells me, “because for the ensuing decades, it identified Democrats as the party of civil rights and Republicans as the party opposed to civil rights.”

For better or worse, your generation and Gen X has to own the shift to the right in this country because you are largely the generations responsible for it. That rightward shift has gutted everything the Millenials depended on to climb economically from schools to infrastructure to rational tax policies.
That isn't entirely correct. You can use Squarespace on the front end 100% YUI-free if you want. I haven't used one line of YUI in years and I work exclusively with Squarespace. Some of Squarespace's internal features are powered by YUI and accessible via misc callbacks, but if you're building custom websites you don't have to use any of it.
It does, I stand corrected.
Here my reasons to hate linux:

* something (guessing nvidia driver) prevents resume from suspend to ram, the machine just sits with a black screen. I have to hard reset

* if you install nvidia from their blob and upgrade your kernel without recompiling the kernel module, it won't let you shut down and one of the cpu cores will lock up

* I tried to use the usb3 hub in my dell monitor and the driver complains about too little bandwidth. forums tell me to disable xhci in the kernel config or bios, I just plugged it into a usb2 port

* I wish there was an easier way to update the kernel with custom options, like automated re-compiling

* I have a usb key with kubuntu that I sometimes boot my macbook air with. Even with not a lot going on, it will get a lot hotter than osx. can the usb3 controller running the boot drive really add that much?

* good luck unmounting a nfs mount that is slow due to network/vpn issues. there is a workaround in creating a dummy network that looks like the nfs server is up and which somehow unclogs the filesystem.

* why can't gvim maximize properly after how many years?

* no netflix or hbo unless you install some deprecated HAL library from untrusted sources

* cannot tell apt to only update specific packages from some repo - adding the spotify repo could replace god knows what on your system

* I love kde plasma, it is what made me try linux as my default boot option again, but why does it have to consume so much ram and why does it crash so often? Thank god it can just be restarted easily, I hope this will still be possible with wayland which promotes integrated window managers

edit:

* under X and highdpi, there is now way to resize applications that use a framework that is not high dpi capable. skype, using Qt 4.8 (IIRC) will have tiny text or icons. (I think you can make it draw text larger, but graphic elements and emoji will be tiny)

I should also say that I really like linux, especially as a work environment. with QtCreator there is a free IDE with auto complete, syntax highlighting, cmake support, cross compilation, etc.

I feel like the *nix/gnu tools are so much more powerful and I would not want to miss them.

The devil is definitely in the details. What do people mean when they say "average". In your paper, the "average" has a denominator of all people, whereas I think some people think the denominator is the number of people of each gender.

Imagine a scenario where there was 1 man on earth, and 100 woman. Say that the man slept with half the woman. Now he has slept with 50 women, the male average is 50 partners / 1 male or 50. Half the woman had 1 partner, so 50 woman / 100 total woman slept with 1 man, average 0.5 partners.

Easy to show that the average could be swayed one way or another with this average.

Cue the mathematicians to show me pedantically why I'm wrong, but it's not about that. It's about the imprecision of English in Buzzfeed articles when using math terms.
Right, investors won't bat an eye at Instagram, Whatsapp, Airbnb, or Pintrest valuations, but can't possibly see how Tesla is worth $30b.

I suppose that is slightly unfair since I happen to think Tesla is fairly well valued, maybe slightly undervalued currently, and obviously investors are the ones supporting that price. It seems like it is mostly a few institutional investors and the general public propping them up right now though, not the sell side firms that can dominate coverage and mentality sometimes.

Sadly, this is our last episode of the show for a little while. We learned a huge amount putting it together - about making good radio, asking good questions, and how some of our favorite companies got started. We hit a point, though, where we thought the show needed to evolve to stay great, and while we figure out what that means, we're going on hiatus.

I want to thank Kat and Colleen for all of their help putting the show together, for figuring out what guests we should have, and for cohosting. I also want to thank the good people at Sirius for making the show possible and for giving us everything we needed to make something of which we are proud.

Stay tuned.
Until the deal is fully closed, or only ancillary closing conditions remain to be met, she kind of has to say that. Also for her golden parachute to deploy, she has to be let go so she can't sound as if she wants to quit.

Good candidates are especially hard to find if they're not willing to identify themselves.

I consider the cover letter important when I'm a hiring manager. It shows that you're interested enough in the job to try for it, to make a bit of effort. I've never been in a position where there were few enough applicants that I could have a conversation with every one of them - the cover letter is a brief of their half of that first 'why should you work here' discussion.

My opinion goes the opposite way when I am being aggressively recruited. So, I think it's on the person asking for something (to be offered a job, or to leave a current job) that should be showing their willingness to make the sale.
Is that a Helldivers reference?

I really can't believe that. Imagine you've ordered a model-3 and instead of a car that you know how to use you get something entirely different of which it remains to be seen if it will work in your situation.

I think the Model 3 will not be fully autonomous, and it will have a traditional steering wheel.
>Tesla forecasted the production of 17,000 cars.

Tesla can do no wrong with the SV crowd, as evidenced by your statement of fact being down-voted.

If you step away from the hype for a second, Tesla are building some great products, but they play a little fast and loose with their numbers. That's why the Street is skeptical. First it's all about deliveries. Then deliveries falter a bit, so the focus moves to production. Then those numbers are low, so the focus moves to the fact that cars are in transit.

If there was some consistency with how Tesla represented their financials maybe there would be less scrutiny and skepticism. We hear about things (battery swamp, PowerWall), then they are hardly mentioned. But I think the Tesla fans consider this "sticking it to the man" (Wall Street), even though Tesla and some major banks are tight.
Siri asks for passcode if I explicitly ask for email or even phone number, but gives me the contact sheet if I ask for name. But I should mention that I'm running iOS 10 at the moment, so it could be a regression.

> value types and reified generics

I think you mean specialized generics (i.e. no autoboxing of primitives when used in generics)? Reified generics implies carrying around all generic type information at runtime, which will not be the case and also has nothing to do with performance. Non-value generics will still be erased I thought.

If you are a designer, maybe consider making some CSS changes or additions with Stylebot or another similar browser plugin? You could then share more "trendy themes" with others who are looking for a different design.
They produced over 18,000 cars. If they forecasted 17,000, then the statement that "they fell short" surely isn't a statement of "fact."
For most GC algorithms (but not ref-counting), the time complexity is O(N) where N is the number of surviving objects (or it could be the number of surviving edges/references, I forgot!). For manual/deterministic/eager memory management, the complexity is O(N) where N is the number of allocated/freed objects.

So if the number of survivors << the number of allocated objects, which it always is in many functional languages, then GC can be faster than manual memory management. Especially if you use a copying GC algorithm which makes allocation extremely cheap.
