The first thing which comes to my mind is how the Javascript interpreter works, using a regex to replace the deepest s-expressions by their evaluations (both scary and brilliant)[0]

I found the console[1] and started using it. I was trying to expand a list of things into LI elements; at some point I wrote this:

{def lis| {lambda {:x} {li :x}}}

The bar represents the cursor just before I hit backspace. After I hit backspace, I entered an infinite recursive evaluation which eventually stopped with stack overflow.
Maybe evaluating the code after each keypress is not ideal. Or maybe you could add a timeout, a custom depth limit or something else ;-)

Also, being accustomized to syntax coloring, completion, indentation, warnings, etc., I find the environment particularly dry, especially when you consider your target audience. On the one hand, beginners who want to learn will be able to explore and find their way through trial and errors anyway, but on the other hand, a little bit of feedback can help when they are blocked. For example, when forms are badly formed the output is "ooops": this is better than nothing, obviously, but still a little terse.
I looked at the teaching[2] section and this is a good introduction, and I am not telling you to be more like Scratch either, but there might some way to bring a little bit more interactive help.

Overall, this is a nice project and it brings a lot of different things together (maths, svg, javascript). I could be useful as a richer Markdown and I find it more readable than the typical Wiki syntax.

I'm not sure that Tesla considers it's current luxury status very important. Ever since Musk's first master plan he's maintained that producing luxury cars at all is just a means to an end of affordable electric cars.

Maybe we can debate weather a $35,000 car is "affordable", but at least Tesla seems to think so. Prius's seem to have a lock on the cab market where I am, and those things just keep flying off the lot into private hands. Personally, when I see a car as a taxi, I can't help but think that thing has got to be reliable as hell.
In my experience the dash is unusual (but not unheard of) in the US. I've heard people refer to it as a German or European 7. I've never seen the German 1 that is like an upside down V used by an American.

I haven't used webpack enough to be certain but AFAIK, like grunt, the config part is basically just JSON.

With a few word substitutions I could use this to describe my experience on Android.

Background: highly experience Linux user. On a budget, and move, needed something for basic connectivity. Wanted a larger tablet.

9-10" Nexus devices nowhere to be found in brick-and-mortar stores (and hard to come by online as well). Almost always crippled by pathetically small storage.

My Samsung Tab A isn't rootable, flashable, had an absolutely useless userland installed (Termux has helped some with that), and now insists that the tools I've used to try enforcing my will are malware, and won't stop nagging me over this.

The default featureset is so pathetically poor that I could neither figure out where disk space was being used, or address moving things elsewhere, necessary for an OS upgrade. Which now fails on account of rooting attempts.

I'm pretty fucking pissed at Google, Android, and Samsung at this point.

And that's before getting to hardware issues.

Offering computers to the public at large is apparently an intractable problem.

A fair number of people would consider the right to health care a fundamental human right.
In the UK, the NHS website includes an excellent, regularly updated 'Behind the Headlines' section that scrutinises health stories reported in the press.

In fact the 'Behind the Headlines' site is a model of clear, factual, unfussy reporting - precisely what you won't find in the national UK press.

Sadly, the 'Behind the Headlines' site is probably far less read than the misleading newspaper stories it tries to debunk.

I don't think the media are solely to blame, big picture wise, but for the scope of what this article covers, I think focusing on the media is appropriate. This is not to say that science can't revamp conventions and practices on their end. And there's not a perfect balance between media freedom and media scrutiny of science.

That said, one could make the argument that it's not the media's fault that in any given month, a photogenic (and perhaps blonde) woman has been kidnapped or murdered. However, it is the media's fault when they saturate the airwaves and print with such incidents at the detriment of other news and information, even if readers gobble it up.

Sorry, I only using functional programming for nefarious reason.
1. Health care is, indeed, really expensive. Most places with government-provided health care try to make sure the most expensive items aren't over-bought, reducing waste. For example, MRI machines. Some folks have to travel quite far to get a non-emergency MRI in Canada and wait some time, yet in the states, there might be 3-4 places in a city with 50k people. Neither extreme is ideal.

2. There are always going to be a few inefficiencies in health care, just like every other business. Some of these can't be helped as much. We want well-stocked emergency rooms and pharmacies to visit after the 2am visit said emergency rooms, for example. Drugs expire: Pharmacies take manpower even in slow times.

3. The other thing with health care is that it does somewhat cost what it costs. There are ways to reduce some of the costs by public education, generic drugs, not providing antibiotics when they aren't needed, and other such things. But folks get sick and hurt regardless.

Side note: The bit about the prescriptions is interesting. I'm in Norway. Private health care is available, but everyone is covered by the state health care. You pay a certain amount per year, then the government covers most things. Prescription coverage vary once the government starts paying. Things you need for life - such as heart medicines - will wind up covered, but some things like allergy meds you might have to pay a portion of the cost regardless. Most hospital expenses are free.

Dental is free for children under 18: 18 and 19 year olds get 75% covered and adults have to pay out of pocket.
There are quite a few jobs where you need someone close by, but don't expect them to be in direct danger. Watching swaths of coastline for smuggling and other illegal activity, helping rebuild communications and handling logistics after a natural disaster, etc. Having a loiter time of days means that you can keep eyes on post a lot easier than traditional aircraft which tend to only be able to loiter for several hours at most.

It's coercive. It redefines language to make any handling of vulnerabilities not condoned by the vendors who shipped those vulnerabilities "irresponsible", despite the fact that third parties who discover vulnerabilities have no formal duty to cooperate with those vendors whatsoever.

The better term is "coordinated disclosure". But uncoordinated disclosure is not intrinsically irresponsible. For instance: if you know there's an exploit in the wild for something, perhaps go ahead and tweet the vulnerability without notice!

Active cooling and far more time spent not fully charged or discharged.

Think about how a laptop battery spends it's day: probably at 110 degrees and plugged it at 100% SOC. That's a perfect storm of horror for a li-ion battery. Tesla batteries spend nearly their whole lives at 70 degrees and between 20 and 80 percent SOC. That's the good life for li-ion.

Government isn't a company, isn't competing with them, and shouldn't be measured in the way companies are measured; that you're even making this comparison speaks to the fact that you don't understand the purpose of government.

Lighter-than-air craft can linger over an area for long periods with very low fuel expenditure, can reach higher altitudes than are possible with heavier-than-air craft, and could in theory carry much heavier cargo. They are also quite hard to shoot down with guns, but that might not hold true with surface-to-air missiles.
Same here. But you and I (or, more specifically, our firms) are not really the market for LE, at least at this point.

I fully expect over time for others to compete with LE, using free certs as a loss leader for other services. I also expect the NSIs and Symantecs to continue making money catering to businesses for multiple reasons, some possibly reasonable, some stupid.

Of course, LE could make themselves more attractive to firms like mine, given the automation angle - I've had cert vendors try to offer tools to do this, but they have all been terrible, broken, security nightmares, or all three. Get this part bullet proof and I can imagine companies switching right after someone forgets to renew...

Reaching "the internal ASA" isn't giving you access the webserver didn't already have, hence, persisting, not pivoting.
It's also worth saying that most of the cars on this list deliberately don't weigh over 3000 pounds and don't have unmaintainable technology components.
Looks interesting. Wikipedia says that its cruising speed is "148 km/h (92 mph; 80 kn)" - certainly faster than a car when coupled with a straighter flight path.

I wonder what the relative costs of operation for this are? If it ever becomes viable for passenger use, I could maybe see it being used for short commuter flights.

The Element was really an uglier version of Scion xB, in my opinion. Though now the xB has been killed as well, so that leaves the Kia Soul (a pretty good car, mind you) filling this gap.

The Subaru Baja, now there's a car I wish I would have purchased before its demise.
And legality. I'm not sure why people seem to entirely discount that portion. There's more reward by selling on the black market, but there's also more risk associated with that.
Someone hasn't been looking at prices on VW Westfalias, then. Maybe it's just the Pacific Northwest, but unless it's a rust bucket you'll pay more than they went for new. For example, we paid (admittedly, overpaid a bit) $17K for an '81. They sold for $14K new. You wanted the four wheel drive version? Prices start at $30K. They sold for $25K new.

But in the end I'm arguing with a mostly-pulled-out-of-the-author's-ass listicle. I mean, one cannot seriously argue that people are clamoring for a Toyota Matrix now that they're not made anymore. You know why they're not made anymore? Because no one was buying them. In contrast to, for example, the Westy which isn't made anymore because it wouldn't pass a crash test (your feet practically touch the front sheet metal on that rear engine vehicle).
Even HN has declined, but what bothers me most is that HN has a definite range of views that are acceptable. This limits useful discourse. e.g. someone should be able to criticize Elon Musk without being downvoted to hell.

While HN does stay civil, I think it is too limited in general. Don't get me wrong, the reason I use HN is because the discussion hasn't devolved into /. or reddit. However, HN would do well to encourage dissent.

I also get that HN, being mostly about tech startups, has different priorities than me personally.

I am forever in search of a place online to have good discussions and debate with a respectful community. The comment sections on news sites are rarely the place — even for very respectable publications. I'm fully in favor of NPR's move and other sites should follow.

It does. See Celica, Toyota Celica Supra.

I tried to cut and paste but the site doesn't let you do that, 1999 style, no right-click copy. The V6 Celica Supra looked amazing in the late 1990's, not sure it has done so well with the passage of time. The early 70's Celicas have greater kudos IMHO, particularly if inside with the massively high centre console bit.
It's improved somewhat over the last few releases, but it still freezes up for several seconds with absolutely no feedback that it registered my keypress. On my laptop this still takes >5 seconds. Also the fade-in animation takes some time, during which the password field is visible but I can't type in it. I have to type my password twice almost every single time. It needs to be more responsive that it is unlocking, and more definite about when you can start typing. Or... they could just get rid of it.
Let's remember that when we are talking about censorship, there are different cases. There is blocking something 99+% of the population thinks should be blocked, like child porn. And then there is blocking things much of the population wants to see but the government doesn't like, like a political dissident's website or wikileaks docs. I would be happy with a solution that would make it possible to block the former, but not the latter.
What is the current envisioned use for this aircraft?
This is similar to how we direct traffic to MySQL at Eventbrite. We also have multiple MySQL clusters with complex topologies for different services. Every server that can access MySQL has a local HAProxy that it connects to. This local HAProxy is checking the health of a pool of dedicated HAProxy servers. Those HAProxy servers are hitting a script run by xinetd on the MySQL servers to determine whether a server should be in its pool. Here is where we differ the most from Github. Instead of having two backends per frontend, we only have one, but the health check itself is context-aware. In addition to takings its own lag into account, it also queries HAProxy to determine the number of healthy servers in its backend pool. As the percentage of healthy servers goes down, the threshold for declaring itself unhealthy based on lag goes up. Additionally, there are some extra safeguards to make sure we never dip below a certain number of servers in the pool. We use variations on this approach for other services like Solr and Redis as well.

BTW, if managing this sort of infrastructure excites you, we're hiring!

>There is an unrealistic expectation that everyone can or should turn their attention to it, and a reality that those who have math training often have an advantage, especially in key societal positions.

Ok. That makes sense. Specialized knowledge is required for specialized work. What's your point?

>The author is stating that there is an advantage for some people to have the conditions to learn.

I guess this is the meat of the argument the author is making, with some ideologically-driven, and here unstated, reasons that explain this 'advantage'.

>Since there is a "society" it shouldn't be critical for everyone to have the same developed skills, which the conclusion seems a bit disconnected from.

But it isn't critical. There is a requirement to have a base level understanding of mathematics in order function in society (roughly high-school level), just as there is a requirement for literacy - but there's certainly no requirement to have in-depth knowledge of it. Nor is a deep understanding of math a prerequisite for success, financial or otherwise.

Sure. For something global though, it might be a problem when your price per account is five minutes' wages in one country and five days in another.

I wonder if there's a way around this.

Can you give some examples where someone criticized Musk and was downvoted?
Smartphones are really cheap in China, 100 bucks, you can buy a XiaoMi/Meizu phone with 5-inch screen and smooth internet experience, iPhone is nowhere that dominant in China and more like a luxury item for some to prove their identity. Gaming console, not really, Chinese parents hate stuff that are dedicated to games because they believe it will distract their kids from study. Cars, no way. It is still some of the most expensive items in China and buy your kids a car is something most families won't even think about, only the richest can afford. College tuition on the other hand is pretty cheap, most good university in China are public schools, and heavily government sponsored, the tuition is like 1500 dollars a year, so not a big deal for average family.
Indeed DuckDuckGo's timer appears to be quite nice, I have it as my main search engine but didn't notice it had that. It's probably a recent addition. I agree that having to keep a browser tab open is not much of an issue, but for longer timers (hours) that can be an issue (although for that case, alarms are better suited... but then you need an alarm app, and while Cortana and Google Now will AFAIK set the alarm on their respective platforms, DuckDuckGo has no "platform" to do it...).
No. The same security patches that are applied to 10 also apply all the way back to 7, and even earlier. To the extent they don't, it's because Microsoft no longer wants them to apply to 7 after the end of its support life. (Which, last I checked, hasn't happened yet.)

Do you think they rewrote the whole kernel in 10, or even a big chunk of it?
Once you stop playing games (it happens eventually for many of us), your need to have Windows around will drop considerably.
