Cadillac CTS-V is the actual luxury vehicle Tesla is competing against.

Roughly the same price. CTS-V has significantly better laptimes on Laguna Seca (roughly 10-seconds faster) than Tesla's best lap times. Tesla has better 0-60 acceleration but that's about it.

CTS-V has better skidpad-tested turning radius, better braking, better suspension, etc. etc.

Porsche and Ferrari are high standards and all, but they're not commuter cars, nor are they luxury cars. They are race cars that have been converted into barely street-legal form. Its unfair to compare a Tesla against them... as the Tesla is a 4-door sedan.

Someone claimed a 1:45 time with the Tesla S (maybe it was one of the faster models?), which is the fastest time I'm aware of. But still not close to the 1:38 time of the CTS-V.
According to the this post, Tesla is claiming 2.5s.
These global events I think are key to keep things fresh. They just need background notifications to alert players who are in a specific area. The global events don't have to be a big new Pokemon monster but that would definitely be fun to show all the trainers who are currently battling the monster. There should be a time limit on when you have to defeat the monster to earn the prize which encourages people to get out there.

There could also be fun challenges like "Magikarp invasion!" - 400 Magikarp have invaded Fisherman's Wharf. They need to all be caught in the next hour or else they'll threaten native species.

Create some fun quests and challenges and randomize where they spawn and make them time limited.

"Every", "always", "slowly", and the overall feeling of a long tradition.

Er... guys... can you remind us how long this fad lasted? When was it introduced? 6 years ago? 6 months ago? No, that's 6 weeks ago, men! So, 2 weeks ago was just 4 weeks after the beginning...

Is it the CADT at work, describing an extremely short, transient fling about a lousy game as a tradition?

I was amazed by people pretending this was (another) revolution in gaming and life, that allowed them to socialize (ever heard of walking down to your local bar? apparently not) and to take a walk (wow). And now, just one month after all that fuss, it's already scrapped and life goes on as it was before that was a thing. Or was it never a thing and people rushed into making theories about it without thinking further than their nose? That would be surprising. Ahem.
Most people accelerate a lot more than they take a few laps on a track though...

There were so many other ways they could have made money with the scaling issue they had.

If their servers can not handled the amount of users using the map function to track pokemon, set this feature as an item. Once a day a user can track pokemon for 1-2 30min session a day.

Then if users want an extra session to track pokemon, they would only have to pay a few pokecoins. This way they can please the userbase and easy the resources used.
Tesla stock up 2% on news of upcoming announcement, down 1% after announcement
What matters to me, and some other car guys who don't own banks, is that the Tesla is capable of doing this regularly and without breaking things. Most don't realize how delicate supercars are in real life. The Ferarri Enzo famously could only do full acceleration from a stop three or four times before needing new clutch plates, even with launch control. Electric motors are just better at the standing start. That isn't so much Tesla as the nature of the technology.

But do the race in cold weather, or over any distance (it doesn't go 300+miles while racing) and things would be very different. So too is the nature of the tech.
If you can convince a judge that this represents an enforceable contract, as has been done and established with clickwrap, then you should be able to get what you're owed. :)

It is ridiculous. Something like "pagewrap" can't trump the consumer protections that apply to a physical good like a book, it would be laughed off. But the law doesn't contemplate network access so reasonably.
Air density and temperature should both have an influence on the performance of electric vehicles, and both change with elevation.
http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/lawn-order/

I think 99pi did a story on this about green lawns. They commented that a green lawn wasn't really a status symbol for yourself, but rather your neighbors. If you let your yard grow unruly, neighbors would come and tend it for you.

The idea is that owning a home and land was the american dream, this land was where you could do what you will. The ultimate self determination. However, the reality is, that your neighbors and the HOA just want to tell you how you will manicure your home. So in reality, people who proclaim self determination are enacting a socialist policy.
The exposition of the relatively versatile features was placed in the same paragraph as the acceleration claim. You'd expect the two to reconcile.

However, according to the disclaiming asterisk, the acceleration claim hasn't even been tested and is only an estimate, making the title claim particularly dubious.

> webapp declares an env_file from which to pick up env vars. This is important because we configure a lot of our applications with environment variables so that the same docker image can run in different environments, taking inspiration from 12-factor apps.

Keep in mind that your environment variables can be learned by inspecting the image. So if you make that image public, those envs are visible. As far as i understand, this is analogous to committing your passwords to source control and should be a consideration.
In general, at least Western societies have incrementally mandated (through a combination of laws and social norms) all manner of safety devices/education/etc. affecting both children and adults going back decades. And at some point many of them cross from being unheard of to used here and there to commonplace to the point where not complying increasingly seems negligent and reckless.

I imagine the vast majority of people reading this don't have a problem with requiring houses to have smoke/CO detectors, for example.

Where you get into arguments is when some behavior is only somewhat common or where, as discussed here, the safety benefits seem to be more a matter of perception than statistics. And "the children" complicates things because it's not a clear case of exercising personal responsibility as is the case with adult behaviors.

The boy didn't have a key, so he played basketball in the yard. He was alone for 90 minutes. A neighbor called the cops, and when the parents arrived—having been delayed by traffic and rain—they were arrested for negligence.

Someone was too eager to edit the wiki page.

oh look, the model is better than a second slower on the 1/4 mile than the Ferrari/Porsche. Slower than the Audi R8 V10 too.
Actually this is no suprise since a electric car doesn't need to convert mechanical energy back and forth.
It only needs to convert the electricity to mechanical energy once, so that means that the power is near instant (way higher startup turning moment), while on a gazoline motor it needs to "warm up".
Also some vehicles have multiple motors peer wheel, that is not possible with a non electric car.
Who the heck gets productive within 1-2 hours of waking up?

Sure, those hours are great for ingesting what has happened since the last cycle but not really for creating new value.

Edit: I just realized I wrote this the wrong way. What I meant was that I can't imagine people being productive during the first 1-2 hours after waking up.
> As with anything, this can have good and bad outcomes

Yes. Sometimes those bad outcomes are pernicious, and you may want to limit their effects.

> but trying to make yourself unbiased is ridiculous and non-sensical.

Why would it be so? Sure, you can't make yourself completely unbiased and lacking in prejudice. But you can try to be more aware of how you act in different situations so that biases you consider unhelpful have less of an influence.

> The fact that you want to be unbiased makes you biased for information and people you think are unbiased.

I really wish people in the US would prefix these sort of statements with "In the US, we ..." The rest of the world isn't so crazy. Speaking as if what people in the US do is universal makes these sort of things seem as though they're the result of the passage of time, that some other solution just isn't possible, that the outcome was inevitable, and those people affected are somehow victims. When really it's a matter of deliberate choices some people made, in the US. Today's article on ADHD also suffers from the same myopic perspective.
Yes, then it would be a discussion about append performance instead of insert performance. Might be handy to do if you know that all the changes to an array will be inserts at the front, then you can just write the array in reverse and also read in reverse.

But it is helpful to keep the terminology clear, because an insert in the middle of a linked list is still O(1), but inserting into the middle of an array will require moving some fraction of the data.

The OP is discussing inserts at the start just because it is the worst-case scenario for arrays, then a positive result will still be true if some of the inserts are in the midddle or even near the end.

Shouldn't higher elevations have a tiny difference in lowering wind resistance from thinner air? It's definitely a much smaller effect than on a IC engine.
I think you have mixed multiple definitions of "undefined behavior".

A language can say that certain operations are undefined, like reference NULL in C. What of the Python language is undefined? (Some things, like garbage collection, are implementation defined. That is different.)

Even if a language contains undefined behavior, a program written in that language can avoid the undefined operations. What of the Python implementations use or depend on undefined operations in the lower-level language?

An implementation can also be flawed. But that's not "undefined behavior" but non-conformant behavior. "A bug", in the vernacular.

According to your definition, is there any language that doesn't have undefined behavior? After all, even the hardware can have flaws and undefined behavior, so to mix metaphors, it's all a house of cards built upon sand.
Motortrend's test was with the Tesla Model S P90D, the 2.5 secs 0-60 claim is for the P100D.

>That's been Tesla's business plan for quite some time

In practice, they've used stock dilution and debt to fund the business.
There's a summary here:

https://www.co2.earth/global-co2-emissions

This is the relevant bit for how much emitted CO2 has accumulated in the atmosphere:

"From 1870 to 2014, cumulative carbon emissions totaled about 545 GtC. Emissions were partitioned among the atmosphere (approx. 230 GtC or 42%), ocean (approx. 155 GtC or 28%) and the land (approx. 160 GtC or 29%)."

If you want to double-check against increasing CO2 concentration, the mass of the entire atmosphere is about 5.15e18 kilograms, so one part per million is about 5e12kg or 5 gigatonnes.

The preindustrial CO2 concentration was roughly 280ppm. We're now at about 400ppm, so that's 120ppm or about 640 gigatonnes more CO2 in the atmosphere today. Things are a bit confusing here because for some reason emissions are measured in gigatonnes of carbon alone, not CO2, so you need to multiply emissions by 3.67 (the mass ratio of CO2 to just C) to get CO2. Taking the cited 230 GtC added to the atmosphere and multiplying by 3.67 gets us 873.46 gigatonnes, which is roughly in the same ballpark, considering this is an off the cuff internet comment using random googled sources.
If anything it would have more impact since the lack of oxygen at higher altitudes won't effect the engine (as it would in gasoline-powered vehicles), but it'll still change the drag.
2.5 seconds to 0-60 and only 2.7 seconds 0-100?

That would be a pretty scary 0.2 seconds. Some back of a napkin math puts that at around 32,000 g.

There are many offshore wind farms in Europe, the first was built in 1991. Many more are planned, and I'd assume the idea isn't novel to banks.

With lower air density the electric car could be slightly faster at elevation.
Have run into exactly this before. Wrote a scraper that retrieved results from a trivia league website. Tried to be a polite scraper (<1 request per second) but the site still crashed - even with 5 seconds of sleep between requests. They were doing something weird with DB connection management (maybe just forgetting to close it and letting it timeout? I remember figuring it out but it's been quite a while) and so after N very reasonably spaced queries the site would reproducibly start throwing an uncaught MAX_DB_CONNECTIONS_EXCEEDED and just be down for everybody everywhere who might've wanted to use it.
Which can be effective, if marketed properly. See carbon credits and marketing products as carbon-neutral for an example.
Ask HN: Why bing and Google+ is still alive?
There's a simpler and broader point: don't use Big O as the sole means of analysis of a high level language's data structures. The theoretical time/space complexity of a data structure may or may not accurately reflect how it's actually implemented in that language.
It's a total guess. HN rarely hugs sites to death compared to Reddit (IMO).
Really? I was just in Park Slope 20 minutes ago and saw a few kids ambling about. Yeah, not as many as you see in Crown Heights, but some. I suspect Park Slope kids are a bit more likely to be overscheduled (like suburban kids) than their peers in surrounding neighborhoods.
Not playing down the versatility of the car at all. But it's very apples and oranges if you're saying on one hand the Tesla is "better" because of the additional capacity, when both the Porsche/Ferrari were tested using exactly the same capacity as the Tesla (i.e. "a driver"), and saying "but this can carry seven people" without "at quite a lower speed"...

But it's a press release, so it is what it is.
>Most people accelerate a lot more than they take a few laps on a track though...

Lap times give a better "all-around" indication of performance: speed, handling, acceleration.
Mr. Spock would have approached the issue of support more logically and would have thought things through more carefully.

> Like most engineers and other creatives

Free yourself of culturally-assigned norms ("engineers and creative people work best at midnight, with lots of coffee") and consider a wider breadth of experience.

The most productive and effective person I know, a computer engineer, typically starts working before I'm even awake. The premise of the article is that 4 a.m. is both outside most of society's normal waking period AND it's immediately after you've had a solid night's sleep, while 12-2 isn't really such an unusual time to be awake and, for most people, it comes at the end of the day.

As someone who woke up at 5 a.m. for many summers so I could start work on the farm before dawn, I know that you can definitely accomplish a lot of work before most people even roll into the office, but I also know that sleeping in is incredibly satisfying :)
And if CPS agrees about the manner you deem appropriate?
I think that's pretty clear in the article that's linked. It explicitly mentions AWS KMS and its reliance on it and how IAM roles are used to grant access to a secret.

It also states that KMS isn't a requirement, you can use Vault too.

You know how if you talk to an overprotective parent about how it's really ok to let their kids wander around outside on their own a little they're always at the ready with a link to a news story about something horrible happening? And you know how that news story is always anecdote and not data?

That's pretty much what you just did.
Reading List is fine, though I wish it offered highlighting or note taking features.

I also tend to stuff my Instapaper full of hundreds of links which it handles no problem, but Reading List really crumbles adding a bunch at once when it tries to download everything.
If I said that, I could drop the word "real" and still say the same thing.

"Real risk" in conversation is usually just an intensifier which means "risk significantly greater than zero percent" implying that it's high enough to be considered on its own, or ahead of other risks. That's already more or less given by the 50% figure.

In this sense there is "no real risk" that the coin will land on its edge. There is a probability attached which is too small to bother with; and possibly lower than the probability that a crow will swoop from the sky and snatch the coin before it lands.
It's an additional 0.2 seconds to get to 100km/h (62mph).

I had a different take -- if one hasn't been keeping up with the "arms race" of modern web scraping (and the countermeasures some sites are adopting these days), or with the JS scraping ecosystem generally, then it seems like this article could make for a decent introduction.
The YAML bug wasn't sui generis (it's a bug class that is very common in Java frameworks), but it didn't follow from any basic design principle of Rails. I generally assume bugs like these are evenly distributed among all frameworks and languages --- or at least, all the platforms where code is easy to write (C doesn't tend to have these kinds of problems, but it would be dumb to opt for C over Ruby for security).
This might be pseudoscience however what will happen when crispr/cas9 gets off the ground?

Your arrogance is my matter-of-fact.
whenever you hit a json api, that's effectively an RPC call.

for example, if you visit:
https://api.github.com/repos/grpc/grpc/issues

you'll get some json back. what happens is the browser resolves "api.github.com" (via DNS) to an IP address, and then opens a socket connection to that address. then, in accordance with the HTTP protocol it executes a "GET" operation (a notion particular to HTTP), and in response the github server will talk to a database or cache and respond with data appropriate to request.

because this sequence of events happens across network boundaries (ie, your browser is talking to something outside your computer), it's often referred to as a "remote" procedure call.
